London's Polka Theatre has announced two new patrons: JAMAEL WESTMAN and DAME JUDI DENCH.

Westman, who is currently starring in musical Hamilton in Los Angeles, said he was honoured to support the theatre's work with young performers.

"Polka Theatre empowers young people to then go out and be confident in themselves in all their wonderful individuality," he added.

Screen icon Dench said Polka Theatre makes sure "children continue to draw in bright colours".

"I am incredibly passionate about the wonderful, positive impact that theatre can have on our lives and it is so important that starts from childhood."
