Theatre stars are to abandon the West End for Highgate Village to perform at an arts venue’s acclaimed autumn cabaret season.

Performers who have trodden the boards in productions of Wicked, Chicago, Les Misérables, Mary Poppins, Hairspray and War Horse will be on show at Lauderdale House for six weeks from this Sunday (October 19) for the 28th annual season of Cabaret in the House.

Among the line-up is Emma Hatton, who has just won the role of green witch Elphaba in musical Wicked and will take to the stage on October 26.

Lauderdale House director Katherine Ives said: “There’s a lot of new talent, with a majority of new faces.”

The seasons runs on six consecutive Sundays and ends on November 23. To book, visit lauderdalehouse.org.uk or call 020 8348 8716.
