Three West End shows will perform a special series of tunes
on this weekend's finale of Britain's Got Talent. The performance will see casts
from 3 major musicals come together to sing numbers in front of a televised audience.
It will include cast members from the all-star Les Misérables concert, Disney
and Cameron Mackintosh's production of Mary Poppins and Andrew Lloyd Webber's
The Phantom of the Opera will come together to sing numbers in front of
televised audiences.
Among those involved are stars
such as Michael Ball, Matt Lucas, Carrie Hope Fletcher, John Owen-Jones, Shan
Ako, Killian Donnelly, Zizi Strallen and Charlie Stemp.
The appearance is set to celebrate the 35th anniversary of
Les Misérables and the 34th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera. Mackintosh
said: "Britain's theatrical talent is the best in the world so it is a
wonderful opportunity after seven months of enforced lockdown to be invited by
Britain's Got Talent to showcase three of my greatest British musical hits with
their fabulous West End casts all bursting to perform again and remind
audiences what an unforgettable thrill it is to enjoy the exhilaration of a
live show.
"Several years ago, Susan Boyle Dreamed her Dream and
set the world alight and we are both eager and anxious to be told when we can
fully reopen again next year so that we can all properly get on with our lives
and celebrate the world-beating talents of our amazing culture."
The show will be beamed out from 7.30pm BST on Saturday 10
October.
