EastEnders‘ star Tameka Empson, Alistair McGowan, and former Coronation Street star Wendi Peters will join Madness frontman Suggs in the 10th anniversary West End gala concert of the musical Our House, to be held on Sunday, November 11 at the Savoy Theatre.

The show, which features a book by Tim Firth and music by the English ska band Madness, tells the story of a man who commits a petty crime to impress his girlfriend, and the two paths his life would take if he stays to confess or if he runs.
