On BBC4 now a Proms special of Strictly which might be worth a look if you like dancing and live bands.
I've been looking at the Proms schedule to see if they were doing a musicals themed one but can't find one this year.

The Shakespeare prom has the second half devoted to musicals based on Shakespeare - West Side Story, Kiss me Kate and The Boys from Syracuse. I am taking my nephew. There is also a Gershwin prom

I tried watching the Strictly prom but found it very dull.
Higher hopes for the John Wilson Gershwin one; do we know any vocalists performing?

I was at the Strictly prom last night and it was very good live, decent atmosphere.
Couldn't get tickets for the Gershwin but I have got one for the Shakespeare, looking forward to it!

No vocalists announced - it may well be instrumental only. The information has now been updated with vocalists listed as Louise Dearman, Matthew Ford and Julian Ovenden. |
