Kerry Ellis, Divina De Campo, Carly Mercedes Dyer and Declan Bennett are the latest names confirmed for The Actors House Christmas Songbook, the one-night fundraising concert Matt Henry hosts at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on Monday 7 December 2026.
Kerry Ellis, whose credits include Wicked and We Will Rock You, leads the second group of performers now listed for The Actors House Christmas Songbook at the Gillian Lynne Theatre. Alongside Ellis are Divina De Campo (Amanda – The Night Before Me, RuPaul's Drag Race UK), Carly Mercedes Dyer (High Society, Anything Goes) and Declan Bennett (The Last Ship, Jesus Christ Superstar).
The four join Beverley Knight, Jess Folley and Oliver Tompsett, the first guests named when Matt Henry announced the concert in October. The evening takes the twelve days of Christmas as its theme, with twelve performers singing musical theatre numbers and seasonal favourites, and every penny raised goes to The Actors House, the social enterprise Henry set up in 2025 so that touring actors and creatives have somewhere safe and affordable to stay.
The last four places on the bill, WestEndTheatre.com reports, go to Henry's former The Devil Wears Prada co-stars: Amy Di Bartolomeo (Six, We Will Rock You), Georgie Buckland (Mean Girls, Shrek The Musical), Keelan McAuley (Heathers The Musical, Clueless) and Tosh Wanogho-Maud (Kinky Boots, Titanique). At the time of writing the venue's event page still described those four as coming soon.
The same report gives the creative team. Henry directs the concert with Wanogho-Maud, Steve Holness is musical director and George Beet is choreographer and movement director. Several roles go to people at the start of their careers: Luke Knowles, a second-year student at Mountview, assists Holness as assistant musical director and is contributing an original Christmas medley, with Alfie Main as assistant production manager and Emily Phillips as assistant director. Keziah Ibe, whose professional debut as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady at Chichester Festival Theatre this summer recently earned an award nomination, also performs on the night.
The Actors House Christmas Songbook plays for one night only on Monday 7 December 2026 at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on Drury Lane, and tickets are on sale now.
