THINK YOU KNOW THE X FACTOR?
THINK AGAIN!
Irreverent, mischievous and yet strangely touching, I Can't Sing! is the irrepressible new musical comedy hitting the renowned London Palladium from February 2014. Go behind the microphones and under the judges' desks at the biggest show on earth, as I Can't Sing! exposes the (allegedly) true story behind The X Factor - a gloriously twisted tale of naked ambition, heartache, hunchbacks and a talking dog.
Written by BAFTA award-winning comedian Harry Hill (3 BAFTA s, 7 British Comedy Awards and a Golden Rose of Montreux) with music and lyrics by Steve Brown (Spend, Spend, Spend ; Spitting Image ; TV Burp), I CAN'T SING! is co-produced by the patron saint of fame himself, Simon Cowell.
Olivier award-winner Nigel Harman will play X Factor supremo Simon Cowell, with The Color Purple's Cynthia Erivo and Alan Morrissey as lovestruck hopefuls Chenice and Max.
Featuring a sidesplittingly funny original score and a host of characters who may seem oddly familiar, this brand new production will delight friends and foes of The X Factor in equal measure.
Directed by Sean Foley (The Play What I Wrote ; The Ladykillers) with choreography by Kate Prince (Into the Hoods ; Some Like it Hip Hop) and set design by Es Devlin designer for London 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony; Take That stadium tours).
