SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT

THE BBC is celebrating musicals with a series of programmes featuring hit songs and performances.

BBC Radio 2 will host three days of programming about musicals, while further shows will be broadcast on BBC1, BBC4 and iplayer from January 29.

Radio 2 presenter and West End star Elaine Paige said: “To be unable to perform or go to the theatre was devastating to us all. Radio 2 Celebrates Musicals is a way for us all to come together, to be uplifted and sing out loud to the best show tunes.”

The series will end on January 31 with a show hosted by Sheridan Smith from the London Palladium.
