The full line-up has been revealed for The Actors House Christmas Songbook, a special festive concert presented by Olivier Award-winner Matt Henry MBE to raise vital funds supporting touring actors and creatives across the UK.
Taking place at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on Monday 7 December 2026, the event will bring together some of musical theatre’s biggest names for an evening of West End favourites and Christmas classics.
Joining Henry on stage will be Beverley Knight MBE, Jess Folley, Oliver Tompsett, Kerry Ellis, Divina De Campo, Carly Mercedes Dyer and Declan Bennett.
The concert will also reunite Henry with four of his former The Devil Wears Prada co-stars: Amy Di Bartolomeo, Georgie Buckland, Keelan McAuley and Tosh Wanogho-Maud.
Founded by Henry in 2025 following his own experiences of touring, The Actors House provides safe, high-quality and affordable accommodation for touring actors and creatives. The organisation aims to remove accommodation barriers that can prevent performers from accepting work and help improve safety and wellbeing while away from home.
Divina De Campo said: “Touring is such a wonderful experience and being able to really know you are safe in your environment and community is essential. It allows you to deliver for audiences across the country.”
The concert will be directed by Matt Henry and Tosh Wanogho-Maud, with Steve Holness serving as Musical Director and George Beet as Choreographer and Movement Director.
Alongside established theatre professionals, the event will also champion emerging talent. Mountview student Luke Knowles will work as Assistant Musical Director, while Alfie Main joins as Assistant Production Manager and Emily Phillips as Assistant Director.
Luke Knowles said: “I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to work alongside such talented West End performers and musicians, particularly as part of an event supporting actors and creatives across the industry. I’m also really excited to be contributing an original Christmas medley.”
The evening will also feature award-nominated performer Keziah Ibe, whose professional debut as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady at Chichester Festival Theatre earned widespread acclaim.
Keziah Ibe said: “Making my professional debut as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady at the Chichester Festival Theatre was an incredible start to my career. The audiences were absolutely fantastic, and the experience showed me just how powerful regional theatre can be. For me, the support and camaraderie from the theatre community has been amazing and I’m honoured to be part of The Actors House Christmas Songbook.”
With tickets ranging from £30 to £120, The Actors House Christmas Songbook will bring together established West End stars and the next generation of theatre talent for a festive celebration, with all proceeds supporting The Actors House and its mission to provide safe, high-quality and affordable accommodation for touring theatre professionals.
