Star-Studded Gala A Marvellous Party Celebrates Noël Coward with a Glittering Lineup
London’s Prince of Wales Theatre is set to shine on Sunday, 17th November 2024, as an all-star lineup gathers for A Marvellous Party, a special charity gala honouring the legacy of Noël Coward. The celebration will feature a dazzling array of talent, including Alfred Enoch, Derek Jacobi, Ian McKellen, Joshua James, Samantha Spiro, Marisha Wallace, and Lia Williams, joining previously announced stars Hugh Bonneville, Gyles Brandreth, Judi Dench, Lindsay Duncan, Cush Jumbo, Robert Lindsay, Hilton McRae, and Giles Terera. Additional surprise guests will also appear, making it a memorable evening in celebration of Coward’s life and work.
This gala evening, directed by Daniel Evans with musical direction by Tom Brady, will present an array of excerpts from Coward’s plays, songs, and sketches- some of which will be performed publicly for the first time. Youth participants from Chichester Festival Youth Theatre, New Adventures, and Wise Children Theatre School will join Noël Coward Foundation bursary recipients, as well as a troupe of actors renowned for performing Coward’s works, for an evening rich in British theatrical tradition and talent.
A Marvellous Party is also the grand finale of the two-year Coward 125 celebration, which has honoured Noël Coward’s extraordinary impact on theatre. Proceeds from the evening will support The Queen’s Reading Room, the Noël Coward Foundation, and Acting For Others, with the Prince of Wales Theatre generously provided by Sir Cameron Mackintosh for the occasion.
Produced by Julian Bird for Green Room Ents., this gathering of icons promises an unforgettable night celebrating the wit, style, and enduring charm of Noël Coward.
