I Can’t sing is the X-Factor inspired new musical written by Harry Hill at the London Palladium.
I Can’t Sing! is a parody of the reality T.V. series the X Factor, a comedy musical which goes behind the microphones and under the judges’ desks at the X-Factor. The show in London will lampoon the judging panel and includes caricatures of judging panellists, Simon Cowell Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole.
Apparently we will learn the behind the scenes secrets of heartache and laughter which keeps millions glued to The X Factor, week-after-week. We are also promised the truth behind why Simon wears his trousers so high around his waist.
Writer of the show, Harry Hill describes the musical as a mickey-taking spectacular.
He said: “We’d been umm-ing and arghing about the title for a while, then it hit us – there’s never been a musical called I Can’t Sing! It also happens to be the title of one of the funniest songs in the show, and hope hints at the direction we’re taking with this production. We think it is the only musical for a while with a singing hunchback, a talking dog and a man on an iron lung, but we’d have to Google that to be sure. We’re pretty certain that you won’t have seen anything like it before and it’s great that Simon is backing it 4,500 per cent.”
Directed by Sean Foley, a double Olivier Award winner, he said: “It’s a musical about a musical and it’s very, very funny. What we’re all aiming for, and harry said this, is to try and put on the best night’s entertainment that anyone has ever done, even if we have to die in the process. I think it will surprise people, how old-time theatrical it is. It does have the feel of a classic night at the London Palladium.”
Written by BAFTA Award-winning comedian Harry Hill (3 BAFTAs, 7 British Comedy Awards and a Golden Rose of Montreux) with music and lyrics by Steve Brown (Spend, Spend, Spend, Spitting Image, Laura Mvula, TV Burp).
Choreography is by Kate Prince (Founder of Zoonation; Into The Hoods and Some Like It Hip Hop) and set design by Es Devlin (Creative Director for Take That, Kanye West and Pet Shop Boys stadium tours; designer for London 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony).
Please note, Nigel Harman will not be appearing in the production in performances during the weeks commencing: 7th July, 14th July and 21st July 2014.
