FOR GOOD - A MUSICAL THEATRE BENEFIT CONCERT CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF LEWIS SEWELL FEATURING AN ALL-STAR WEST END CAST! 

In October 2019, he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and despite prolonged chemotherapy, the decision was taken in July 2020 to stop further treatment when the tumours continued to grow. He passed away on 15th August 2020. 

CAST: Nikki Bentley (Wicked - Elphaba), Laura Pick (Wicked - Elphaba), Ollie Wray (Les Misérables), Nick McLean (Wicked), Olivia McBeth, Alex Lodge (Jay Osmond in The Osmonds Musical, The Book Of Mormon), Georgia Lennon (Marie Osmond in The Osmond Musical), Sophie Isaacs (Six, the Musical, Pantoland at the Palladium, Goldilocks at the Palladium, Heathers, Kinky Boots, Made In Dagenham), The Students of Laine Theatre Arts, The Students of The Royal Central School of Speech & Drama plus more to be announced.

Producer Mark Robert Petty said, “This concert will be a celebration of Lewis’s life and will feature songs, readings and speeches dedicated to Lewis’s memory and legacy with The Lewis Sewell Memorial Trust.” 

During his time in hospital, Lewis had the idea for his family to support young people to access auditions for theatre schools, having seen how difficult it is for young people to enter the performing arts industry without the financial and moral support that he enjoyed. He was instrumental in setting out the criteria for his awards and for the 3 tenets of Courage, Positivity and Resilience that form the basis of the Lewis Sewell Memorial Trust. Thanks to the generosity and support from both inside and outside the performing arts world, the Lewis Sewell Memorial Trust is now able to support several young people each year. A fitting legacy to a young man who has been described ‘as not only an excellent actor but a great artistic collaborator’.
