The National Lottery's Big Night of Musicals
It’s back! The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals is returning to the AO Arena Manchester on 27th January 2025.
The musical theatre-infused concert sees Jason Manford return as host with the show usually aired later on television and radio.
Manford said today: “It’s an honour to be back hosting The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals for the fourth time! It’s always a pleasure to host in Manchester to give a northern audience the chance to see some spectacular performances and appearances from the stars of the West End – and this year’s line-up is stronger than ever. Once again, one of the best aspects of the show is that tickets are free as a thank you to National Lottery players who help ensure the performing arts industry thrives by playing each week.”
The full line up is Disney’s Hercules, Mean Girls, Jim Steinman’s Bat Out of Hell The Musical, Here & Now – The Official Steps Musical, Calamity Jane, Dear Evan Hansen, Cabaret, Mary Poppins and Titanique. There will also be other spectacular performances on the night, including one from musical theatre star Michael Ball.
The event will mark 30 years of National Lottery support for the theatre and performing arts, having helped support more than 20,000 theatre-related projects to the tune of £1.3 billion. In addition, National Lottery funding has helped restore theatres as well as enabling hundreds of performing arts projects.
