ITV kickstarted the reality TV musical talent show with the upcoming “Grease is the Word”, set to find the Danny Zukos from the Danny Devitos and the the Sandra Dees from the Sandra down your local chippie. From April 7th your evenings will be sorted for televisual viewing as we watch the good and bad versions of the Grease legends strut their stuff in front of the David Gest, theatre producer David Ian and West End star Sinitta.

Channel four have also jumped on the bandwagon with the T4 program “Musicool”, a group of unsigned singers are put through their paces and are whittled down to a select few. This select few will be trained by choreographers and vocal coaches to star in a musical which will be aired in the West End this summer. It’s a bit like a musical X-Factor with a hint of Big Brother and with ten winners, the ten are put into a house in Camden and we watch their musical progress, catfights and love stories evolve.

Following the success of “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria” the unlikely duo Graham Norton and Andrew Lloyd Webber are back with “Any Dream Will Do”.
The Camp Duo will search high and low for a Joseph to put in that Technicolor Dream-coat and take him straight to the West End.
