While there's been several Roles We'll Never Play concerts in the past, created by the wonderful Tom Duern, this was my first time. And one thing's for certain, it definitely will not be the last. I spoke to people who had been to every concert and had travelled over three hours for the show last night, and after experiencing it, it's not difficult to see why.

Over the years, Roles We'll Never Play has become bigger and better. Due to audience demand, the concert started at modest venues, and has since had concerts at the Apollo, Vaudeville and the Lyric Theatre in London's West End. Last night was no exception to iconic venues, and was staged at Clapham Grand.

The line up for last night was nothing short of exceptional. Our cast included: Samuel Bailey, Luke Bayer, Emily Benjamin, Courtney Bowman, Connor Carson, Lauren Chia, Josh Clemetson, Lewis Cornay, Jessica Daley, Tom Duern, Alice Fearn, Evelyn Hoskins, Eve Norris, Idriss Kargbo, Ying Ue Li, Rob Madge, Toby Marlow, Genevieve Nicole, Shane O’Riordan, Parisa Shahmir, Hana Stewart, Joe Thompson-Oubari, Joaquin Pedro Valdes and Eloise Davies.

If you're wondering what to expect from these concerts, the title sums it up perfectly. A cast of top musical theatre talent come together for one evening and sing songs from roles they'll not necessarily ever be able to play. (I won't say never because Courtney Bowman proved the title incorrect when she became little Miss Woods, Elle!).

Before the show began, we were treated to an acoustic set from the band, Remember Monday. A UK country trio consisting of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele. A trio that recently gave up their West End jobs and became a girl group full time! They performed a few of their originals, and ended the set with a stunning cover of "A Soft Place to Land", from Waitress.

Our hosts for the evening were Roles We'll Never Play legend, Carl Mullaney and leading lady, Grace Mouat. They led the evening with enthusiasm and wit; making a wickedly funny duo. They introduced each performer, as well as their song choice and the musical it was from. However, I would have liked a programme of some variety as I was frantically scribbling names and song choices down as not to forget anyone. There were a few minor problems with sound throughout, but nothing that affected the overall enjoyment of the show too much.

We were treated to a plethora of sensational musical theatre performances. Rob Madge's performance of "Naughty" from Matilda was certainly the most memorable of the evening. They used their performance as a platform for trans rights and the lyric changes, "you mustn't let a little thing like Rishi stop you", and "sometimes you have to say fuck the Tories", earned a well-deserved standing ovation from the audience.
