About

About Roles We’ll Never Play (2026)

Roles We’ll Never Play (2026) at the Lyric Theatre, London, is a one-night concert that turns casting on its head. West End performers step into roles they would not usually be cast in, with a programme built around iconic songs and unexpected choices.

The event is also an LGBTQ+ IVF Fundraiser. It was created by Lauren and Josie, who met while performing in Les Misérables and are now trying to start a family. The show is produced by Tom Duern alongside Nik Haukohl, Josie Kemp and Lauren Soley, with performers and creatives volunteering their time.

Duration: 2 hours 20 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
