Peter Corry has once again exceeded all expectations in unveiling an exciting line-up for this year’s eagerly awaited “Christmas at the Cathedral”. Returning to the magnificent St Anne’s Cathedral, the show features an exceptional star of both Broadway and the West End, Rachel Tucker, as a special guest.
Returning to her hometown of Belfast, Rachel will take to the stage alongside Peter Corry, joined by an ensemble of local talent, encompassing both seasoned professionals and rising stars of the stage. Among them is the Northern Ireland Young Musician of the Year, Evie Mills who at just 17 years old, is a young musician with an exciting future ahead of her.
The talented cast promises a sensational performance and serves as an anticipated prologue to the festive season for fortunate ticket holders.
This almost sold-out event has three shows over a two-day period and has been created by Peter Corry Productions, Peter says it has become one of the highlights of his busy calendar;
“Along with ‘Thank you for the Musicals’ which I’m delighted to say returns next year, I absolutely adore producing and performing in Christmas at the Cathedral, this show is magical, and I get to perform alongside incredible artists, who always quite literally raise the roof! In the past we’ve had The Celtic Tenors, Barbara Dickson, Ian McElhinney and now I look forward to spoiling audiences with this year’s performers, Rachel is such a well-established and huge star of the West End and Broadway and her stunning voice will be exceptional to hear in the incredible surroundings of the cathedral. Evie is an exciting new talent and I am confident she will have the audience in the palm of her hand.
“Alongside Evie and Rachel, we have of course lots more talented and familiar faces and there will be plenty of fun and surprises throughout the show. I always strive to do something different and unique, and I am confident that this year will deliver an enjoyable production, filled with festive songs and beautiful music for everyone to enjoy.”
Rachel, currently starring on the West End in Sunset Boulevard where she shares the role of Norma with Nicole Scherzinger, is excited about returning to her hometown of Belfast to perform for the first time in a very long time. The star, of shows such as ‘Wicked’, ‘Sunset Boulevard’ and ‘The Last Ship’ may be more used to the stages on Broadway or the West End but Rachel has a very special reason why this venue holds a special place in her heart,
“I married my husband here and it is such a truly beautiful location that really lends itself to the festive feel of the event. It’s been a long time since I performed at home and the home crowd is always incredible, the people of Northern Ireland always bring a special buzz to a show, and I get the bonus of catching up with good friends and family while I am here.”
The evening will be musically directed by maestro, Ashley Fulton, and there will also be a special an appearance from the talented performers of the BSPA Voices and the Adoro choir.
Peter Corry productions pride themselves on being dedicated to bringing both established and future stars to audiences across the province, but those who miss out on getting a ticket to Christmas as the Cathedral need not worry, after a sell-out tour last year Peter is once again bringing back his much-loved show ‘Thank you for the Musicals’ which will tour Northern Ireland in February and March of next year. The show opens with four shows at the MAC and tours Northern Ireland throughout March, tickets will sell out fast and are on sale now.
