News: The creators of ‘The Show Must Go On!’ Theatre Support Fund+ launch children’s merchandise

The creators behind the iconic ‘The Show Must Go On!’ campaign that raises money for Theatre Support Fund+ have announced brand new products for children.

Featuring t-shirts, draw-string sports bags and mobile phone cases, this is the latest in new initiatives to further raise money for charities Acting For Others, The Fleabag Support Fund and NHS COVID-19 Urgent Appeal.

Theatre Support Fund+ was set up by theatre industry workers Chris Marcus and Damien Stanton to help those who have been affected by the pandemic.

‘The Show Must Go On!’ design is made up from the logos of 16 West End musicals, and has been recognised internationally with orders been sent to over 70 different countries across the globe. Shows included are & Juliet, Come From Away, Dear Evan Hansen, Everybody’s Talking about Jamie, Hamilton, Les Misérables, Mamma Mia!, Mary Poppins, Matilda the Musical, SIX, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, The Book of Mormon, The Prince of Egypt, Disney’s The Lion King, The Phantom of the Opera and Wicked.

Chris and Damien said, “We are continuing to think of new ways to help support the theatre industry and we wanted to make a product which was accessible to children so they too could show their support. We have some amazing shows as part of our design which are really loved by, younger audiences so we wanted to make products they would love (and could fit into) so they could also show their support for the theatre community!  After all this is not just for adults but for all lovers of theatre!”

Children’s t-shirts can now be purchased in sizes 5-6, 7-8, 9-11 and 12-14 and are priced at £13. Merchandise can be purchased here.
