Christmas in New York Returns to the West End
For one night only, Christmas In New York, an all-singing all-dancing celebration of the stage, returns to the West End with a whole host of established and emerging stars.

The one off musical began back in 2006 as a festive concert celebrating a combination of the best seasonal songs from musicals and traditional Christmas carols. Presented by the Notes From New York Team, the show is committed to showcasing new talent and material.
This year, a new song has been written by Michael Bruce, winner of 2007's Notes For The Stage competition to find a new Christmas song. Bruce will also orchestrate and arrange other material for the show.
Notes From New York have previously introduced the work of numerous American and British composers to the London stage.
