A festive scene was set at the Co-Op live for Manchester at the Musicals, where a star-studded cast performed a mixture of Christmas songs, and well-loved musical tunes
It's a few days before Christmas , and the atmosphere was certainly festive walking into the Co-Op Live ahead of Manchester at the Musicals. Christmas songs were blasting from the speakers, and Santa hats were being worn left, right and centre, along with a fair amount of festive tops .
The show officially opened with Alice Fearn singing 'The Wizard and I' from Wicked, which has recently been made super popular thanks to Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's portrayal of Elphaba and Glinda. Needless to say, she sounded incredible - and even more so when she came out in the second half to sing 'Defying Gravity' from the musical. It gave me Goosebumps - especially when she sang that final note that's gone viral in recent weeks.
After a rendition of White Christmas, it was time for a break, after which Sheridan Smith came on stage in a lovely glittery gown to sing 'You're my World' from Cilla the musical in a performance that Cilla herself would've been proud of. "Did you have a nice break? I hope you're hammered," she joked in only a way she'd be able to as the audience laughed along with her.
