Perhaps he couldn't do a video recording, only vocal for some reason?

Maybe they blew all the budget for international performance rights on Nichole Scherzinger and her nails. Or Equity would only allow for TV transmission rights for 2 international performers, in a ratio to British performers.

Watched last night on iPlayer, so the viewing figures will now be at least 4,000,001.
Mostly very good, but I've just written to the BBC to complain about its terrible faux pas, the one everybody's talking about. Jamie didn't premiere at the Crucible Theatre...it premiered at the world-famous Crucible Theatre. 😉
And if the young man from Cinderella wants to be a star, someone people respect, he needs to buy a jacket with an extra inch in the sleeve.

What do Nicole Scherzinger and Jane Mcdonald have in common? They both appeared as Grizabella in Cats. In my opinion Jane sings Never Enough far better than Nicole.

I think he might be a very popular teenage crush, with those big eyes and nice smile. He's still rhyming "knew" with "loo" though.

I was so distracted by his gorgeous smile that I never once paid attention to his sleeves. That said, it may be some new fashion thing us crumblies haven't picked up on yet.

Yes, yes she does and Nicole sang the crap out of it so you can imagine how good Jane’s take on it is. I remember groaning when she said she was doing a Greatest Showman segment, then blew the roof off our little theatre with her ‘Never Enough’. Shame about the sharp ‘enoughs’ when she has to do them quieter.

When did Sheridan Smith become this naff and unwatchable? I had to fast forward her bits. Just awful.
Highlights Dear Evan Hansen- that song is always moving and powerful.
Lea Salonga- a class act. Always.
Six- great song and performance of it.
Nicole Scherzinger (?) ... very impressed she managed to sing that song and so well.
Kerry Ellis- fabulous. ( also She looked like a 1920s painting come to life with her angular face and bob)
Lowlights Mamma Mia was embarrassing
Dreamgirls - She had none of the vocal gravitas this song needs. A perfectly good “I’m gonna sing this on my audition for The Voice” version, but I wouldn’t pay £70+ to hear that in the theatre.
Amanda Holden and Sheridan Smith.. since when has mediocrity like this become celebrated?
Cinderella song.. zzzzzz
Joseph song- naff as all f**k.
God I miss sitting in a theatre watching a musical.

(Bit late to the party I do realise) generally I enjoyed it.
Regardless of how good there were or not, it was a bit odd the performers standing on stage with no audience or dancers.
Look, I'm always up for a good musical and anything that's going to promote any theatre in the current climate I'm all for however as much as a talent Sheridan Smith is- and I really do believe she is- from what I saw, I don't like her presentation style. I haven't watched that dog clipping programme that she host to compare but for me, her presentation- not her actual performance- was one of the weakest thing of the night.

My mum was incredulous at it. “I didn’t know any of them! That CAN’T be what you go to London for can it? I wouldn’t waste my money!” 😄

I wouldn’t waste my money!” 😄 Did your mum mean she didn't know any of the musicals or the performers? If its the performers I can sort of understand as there were a lot of actors performing who are not that well known to the general public. However surely she knows Michael Ball, Amanda Holden and Sheridan Smith as they are on the TV box all the time. If it's the musicals, yes there were a few of the newer ones but you also had Wicked, Phantom, Hairspray, Mamma Mia and Joseph and I would have thought that most people would be even vaguely familiar with most of them.

She’d know Michael Ball but that’s about it. Out of the shows she’d have heard of Phantom, possibly Joseph but the rest? Nah. When she thinks of musicals she’s in the Oklahoma, South Pacific, Carousel camp. She’s 89!

Saw this in the guide that it was on Beeb2 after the Four Dames and totally misread it as The Greatest Showman. It actually seems to be a concert of Showtunes hosted by Sheridan. I just started it from the beginning on iplayer and she opened with Dont Rain On My Parade and Ramin just did Music of the Night. Six next.

Is it? Nicole Raquel Dennis just sang And I Am Telling You from Dreamgirls. She hadn’t been cast last Christmas had she?
