We want you to come dressed as your favourite musicals character and sing along with us!”
Professor Jeffrey Sharkey, Principal of the Royal Conservatoire, added: “I am delighted that Andrew and his team are one again taking on this exciting challenge to support BBC Children in Need. I have no doubt that hewill work his magic so that the singers, and Pudsey, will be in perfect harmony.”
