Abi Titmuss leads the troops as The King's Speech debuts on the West End stage
|
While there was no sign of Colin Firth, Abi Titmuss flew the flag for the celebrities in the front row.
Following the success of the Oscar-winning film, The King's Speech is now on the West End stage.
The play stars handsome British actor Charles Edwards as the title role of King George VI, made famous by foppish Bridget Jones star Firth - who received an Academy Award for his efforts.

Cranford actress Emma Fielding takes on the challenge of Queen Elizabeth, the part of Helen Bonham Carter, while Australian-born Jonathan Hyde plays the Geoffrey Rush role of Lionel Logue.
And Abi proved that less is more as she kept her flesh covered up at the press evening last night, held at the Wyndham's Theatre in Charing Cross, but still looking particularly cute.
The former glamour model, 36, stepped out in a delicate lace dress, complete with patterned tights.
She opted for sassy over sex appeal as her blonde ringlets bobbed around her shoulders.

While she flew the flag for the eye candy, the real talent came in the guise of David Seidler.
In 2011, screenwriter Seidler became the oldest winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The King's Speech.

The proud Londoner posed alongside Emma, both looking equally theatrical in all-black ensembles.
Dermot O'Leary and Rula Lenska also put in an appearance, enjoying the free champagne.
Edwards was also seen clutching a well earned drink at the aftershow party held at The Langham.
Along with his glass of bubbly, the chiselled blond wore a prefect bag saying 'King' on it.
