Leading lady Anna-Jane Casey returns to the West End to headline "Christmas
in New York," the West End's unique celebration of contemporary seasonal
show tunes and festive favourites, for one night only at THE LYRIC THEATRE
(Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1 ENG - 0870 890 1107 - http://www.notesfromnewyork.co.uk/

the roof in seasonal celebration.
Following its sell-out success last year, Christmas
in New York returns for a second outing and is set to become an annual
event in the West End calendar. Exuding the warmth, the joy, the love,
the longing and the haunting musicality of Christmas, songs by composers
such as John Bucchino, Craig Carnelia, David Friedman, Andrew Lippa,
Charles Miller, Grant Olding and Maury Yeston are intertwined with
classic carols and an exciting new musical treatment of the popular
poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Factory's award-winning production of Sunday in the Park with George
and starred in Not(es) from New York at the Duchess Theatre. Her previous

Newbury, Edith Piaf in Piaf and Charity in Sweet Charity at the Sheffield
Crucible, Velma Kelly in Chicago at the Adelphi Theatre in the West
End and lead roles in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express, Joseph
and Cats.
Evoking a magical time of year in a much loved city,
Christmas in New York is the perfect seasonal treat for musical theatre
fans and anyone with a song in their heart. It is the latest instalment
in the West End's critically acclaimed Notes from New York series
which produces contemporary musical theatre for a mainstream audience
and has enjoyed a number of sell-out shows at prestigious venues.
