Sussex based choir feature in M&S Christmas Advert

Members of musical theatre choir City of Stars are featuring in Marks and Spencer's Christmas advertising campaign.

Created at Warner Bros. studios in September, it features the team having a comedic moment with national treasure Dawn French, before they join the party all aboard the Marks & Spencer's food truck.

City of Stars, with locations in Brighton, Hove and Worthing, are Sussex's only intermediate musical theatre choir. Musical director and founder Candi Underwood, said: "Being part of such a beloved national campaign is a dream come true for us.

As a small, independent choir, it's been such a fantastic experience to showcase the talent in our community and this opportunity really highlights the power of music to bring people together. One of our fellow cast members, who we met on set and happens to live in Brighton, has even decided to join our Kemptown choir!"
