Kerry Ellis to Headline Benefit Performance of Modern Cinderella-Themed Musical Soho Cinders

Kerry Ellis will be part of the cast of a one-night-only benefit performance of the new musical Soho Cinders at London's Novello Theatre on October 9. The performance, with proceeds benefiting the Teenage Cancer Trust, will also feature Broadway vet Hannah Waddingham, Beverly Rudd, David Bedella and Sandi Toksvig. Jonathan Butterell will direct.

A modern take on Cinderella, Soho Cinders follows prospective Mayoral candidate James Prince and his law student fiance, Robbie, who's paying his college bills in an unorthodox way. The show features music by George Stiles, lyrics by Anthony Drewe and book by Drewe and Elliot Davis.

Ellis is a Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner for Favorite Replacement in Wicked. Her West End credits include Oliver!, We Will Rock You and My Fair Lady.
