A POPULAR musical theatre group are set to perform a show in Wrexham this Christmas.
Following their epic sold-out tour last year, the musical theatre super-group Welsh of the West End are back this Christmas, and will be holding a festive concert like no other on Tuesday 17th December 2024 at the William Aston Hall in Wrexham.
With Christmas classics and musical theatre favourites, you’ll be dazzled by performers from shows such as Les Misérables, Phantom of the Opera and Wicked.
Welsh of the West End was formed during the first Covid lockdown period in March 2020 by Steffan Hughes, a well-known performer and TV and Radio presenter from the Vale of Clwyd.
In a time where most performers found themselves without any work due to the Covid regulations, he assembled a line-up of incredible Welsh talent to make a virtual performance of the song “Seasons of Love” from the musical Rent.
That video quickly gained 1 million views, and it was clear there was an appetite for more. What followed was over twenty virtual performances that have now surpassed 20 million views online. Welsh of the West End has become an online viral sensation.

They went on to wow audiences internationally by reaching the live semi-finals of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent, and since then have performed at iconic venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, London Palladium, Wales Millennium Centre, and the Principality Stadium in addition to overseas concerts.
On their 2024 Christmas tour, they will also be visiting Pontio in Bangor, Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Brangwyn Hall in Swansea, and the Cardiff Christmas Festival. Many of the singers are originally from North Wales, and are very excited to be performing so close to home this Christmas.
