Jason Manford returned to the AO Arena in Manchester to once again host the star-packed musicals extravaganza. The event shone a light on how the magic of musical theatre makes a difference to communities across the UK, thanks to National Lottery funding.

The spectacular evening featured performances from shows in the West End and touring musicals, including a breathtaking performance of Maybe This Time by Marisha Wallace, from Cabaret, introduced by her co-star Billy Porter, who also joined her on the carpet earlier in the evening.
