Clare Traynor, from Cash for Kids, said: “I think we have captured something special for every audience.

“We want people to have a really fun experience from the minute they step into the Guild Hall to the minute they leave the theatre.

“The fact that they will be helping an underprivileged child at the same time is a massive bonus.”
