Michael Bruce, the young composer discovered through The Stage’s Notes for the Stage competition, is to have his first full West End showcase - a gala performance dedicated solely to his work, sung by some of the West End’s leading young performers.
Musical theatre stars including Julie Atherton, Helena Blackman, Daniel Boys, Alex Jessop, Sarah Lark and Paul Spicer will perform a selection of the young composer’s work for one night only at the Apollo Theatre on November 1. The 25-year-old composer first came to prominence through the Notes for the Stage competition in 2007. His entry, Children, was chosen as the winner of the ground-breaking competition to discover a new British musical theatre writing talent. His prize was to have his winning song performed as part of the Christmas in New York show at the Lyric Theatre in December later that year.
His latest show, Michael Bruce - A Little Less Ordinary, will be the first time Bruce’s extended portfolio of work has been heard in the West End.
