<p>By the end of the tour and the new West End run, Ian McKellen On Stage is expected to have raised £3 million.</p>
<p>The Lord Of The Rings star said: <em>“Taking this new show to 80-plus theatres around the country has been a joyful birthday present to myself.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’ve played mainly in theatres I knew well as a young theatregoer and actor. On my birthday, I was in Bolton Town Hall, where my dad used to work.</em></p>
<p><em>“It began last February with 15 theatres in Greater London and will end in Orkney.</em></p>
<p><em>“Soon I will be back in London, for a limited season in the West End, raising much-needed funds for theatre charities. For each performance at the Harold Pinter Theatre, I’m glad that there will be 80 tickets at just £10.</em></p>
<p><em>“As for the show? Ask someone who’s seen it. Come and find out.”</em></p>

<li><em>Ian McKellen On Stage will transfer to the Harold Pinter Theatre from September 20. Tickets are on sale now.</em></li>
