Vampirette, the new musical premiering at the Opera House, Manchester on Friday 4 May, will be sponsoring a gala charity performance in favour of The Christie charity and its haematology unit on Wednesday 9 May.

Lord Keith Bradley, chairman of The Christie charity, said, "Our dedicated fundraisers allow so many things to happen across all of our specialist units in the Trust.  This musical looks set to be an entertaining, innovative fundraising venture, which I am sure will get many people talking.  This production will raise money for our haematology and transplant unit, so will have a direct positive impact on our patients."

Thirty three percent of all the ticket sales on that night will be donated to The Christie charity by the producers of Vampirette.  There will also be bucket collections on the night.

Writer and Producer Jonathan Choat said: "We are proud to be supporting The Christie charity and I'm sure the guests of Lord Bradley and Manchester's VIPs will enjoy this new musical comedy and be encouraged to give generously to such a tremendous cause."
