Steps’ Faye Tozer and former Eternal singer Louise are among the stage stars uniting for the Make a Difference Trust’s charity single, I Dare You.
The video for the track, a cover of Kelly Clarkson’s 2020 hit, is set to feature appearances from Aimie Atkinson, Samantha Barks, Sharon D Clarke, Kerry Ellis, Shaun Escoffery, Shanay Holmes, Francesca Jackson, Cassidy Janson, Aisha Jawando, Tosh Wanogho-Maud, Jamie Muscato, Eva Noblezada, Natalie Paris, Jay Perry, Louise Redknapp, Oliver Tompsett, Faye Tozer, Sally Anne Triplett, Rachel Tucker, Marisha Wallace and Layton Williams.
Also making a special appeal in the visual is singer and actress, Vanessa Williams.
Melanie Tranter, Chair of the Make a Difference Trust, says of the track: “Since the Make A Difference Trust was established in 2008 the theatre community have joined together with us to raise funds for those less fortunate than themselves.
“They have entertained us, made us laugh and cheer, sing and stamp our feet in evenings of pure joy. They have given their time, talent and love so generously to raise funds to support those in need.
“Now, it’s our turn to support them. Every penny received from this initiative will go directly to theatre professionals in the UK who are affected by the theatre closures as a result of this crisis.
“We will work tirelessly to ensure grants are paid swiftly, and directly to those in need,” she adds.
The single, mixed by Steve Anderson, will be available to stream/download on March 16.
