Hello Darlings! We have missed you so much!
We are counting the days until we finally reopen, and we get to see all your lovely faces. Unfortunately, Reality is a harsh mistress: Joe’s is the West End canteen. An actor’s hangout where glowing opening night reviews are celebrated, and not-so-glowing ones are forgotten about at the bottom of a martini glass.
The truth is, without clear government guidance, the theatre industry in disarray, unsustainable social distancing measures, and sky-high overheads, we just don’t know yet when Joe Allen will re-open its doors. Make no mistake, this is a do-or-die situation for many restaurants, even well-established ones. But we have something others do not: you – the most amazing community a business could ask for.
Things may be looking down right now, but true to our Broadway roots, we say
“To hell with it. The show must go on!”
The time has come to stand sequined shoulder to shoulder with our beloved theatrical family!
We’ve teamed up with our friends at ACTING FOR OTHERS, the amazing charity which provides financial and emotional support to all theatre workers in times of need through the 14 member charities. Together, we’re organizing a unique fundraiser event which will have an intoxicating mix of laugher, song, performance, cocktails, and sheer joy!
JOIN US ONLINE ON SATURDAY 4TH JULY AT 8 PM
WE’LL ESCAPE THE CORONACOASTER FOR A WHILE AND HAVE A VIRTUAL EVENING TOGETHER AT JOE ALLEN!
We’ll send another newsletter with all the details on July 2nd, and we’ll post regular updates on social media so if you don’t follow us yet, add us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for all the details on the line up!
The event is freely accessible to everyone, but there will be an option to donate to save Joe Allen, support all those in crisis in Theatreland -and yes lets think big, if we can do this then let’s keep going and help the theatres themselves!
We know money is tight right now, so if you are unable to “dig deep”, then just enjoy the show! This is for you, with love.
However, if you know any philanthropists who love the theatre, restaurants, laughter and life, please give them a sharp nudge in the ribs. Whatever your circumstances we want you there because we hope this will be the start of a series of evenings at Joe Allen.
So get your glam’ rags out because WE ARE BACK, in spirit if not in person.
We love you and we miss you!
