Stars sing for their supper at THT Supper Club

Ewan McGregor, Jane Krakowski, Jenna Russell and the cast of Guys and Dolls entertained guests at last night’s Supper Club in aid of Terrence Higgins Trust - the UK’s leading HIV and sexual health charity. The stars performed an exclusive cabaret set for party-goers including Erin O’Connor, Jade Parfitt, and Lily Cole.

Earlier in the evening 40 Supper Club dinner parties were held simultaneously in private homes and restaurants including Nobu Berkeley, Hakkasan, Locanda Locatelli and Cecconi’s. After dinner over 500 guests were chauffeur driven from their dinner venues to The Porchester Hall for champagne, Grey Goose Vodka cocktails and the special performance by Ewan and friends.        

The stars of Guys and Dolls went straight from the stage of the Piccadilly Theatre into a fleet of waiting Jaguars and were chauffeur driven to the Supper Club party to make their special appearance. 

Debbie Holmes, Director of Fundraising at Terrence Higgins Trust said “Ewan, Jane, Jenna and the other cast members really pulled out all the stops to support us tonight.  They put on an amazing show and have helped us to raise over £ 60,000 for our vital work, supporting people living with, and affected by HIV and AIDS.”
