Nigel Harman, Simon Cowell, Cynthia Erivo and Alan Morrissey
A press conference took place today to introduce the leads of the upcoming I Can’t Sing!, The X Factor Musical by Harry Hill and Steve Brown. Tickets for the brand new comedy are now on general sale ahead of the world premiere at the London Palladium on Wednesday March 26 2014, with previews from Thursday February 27 2014.
Simon Cowell attended the presser, as his company, SYCO Entertainment is producing. Check out the actor cast to play him in the musical. NOT ENOUGH BOTOX. Ha.
Nigel Harman will play Simon Cowell, with The Color Purple’s Cynthia Erivo and Alan Morrissey as lovestruck hopefuls Chenice and Max.
A synopsis of the musical from the press materials:
Irreverent, mischievous and yet strangely touching, I CAN’T SING! is the irrepressible new musical comedy that goes behind the microphones and under the judges’ desk at the biggest TV show on earth. Follow the adorable Chenice and her faithful talking dog as she encounters crazy contestants, ruthless judges, a rapping hunchback and a handsome eco-warrior plumber called Max on her very own X Factor journey. Will she realise in time that winning the competition may not be as important as winning Max’s heart…and will we discover just why Simon wears his trousers that high? I CAN’T SING! promises a lid-lifting theatrical rollercoaster ride behind the scenes at the mother of all singing competitions.
Alrighty then.
