What is All Star Musicals?

This is the show that sprinkles glitters over celebrities and turns them into musical performers. Famous folk will receive vocal coaching and dance lessons before standing in front of a West End chorus line to perform their choice of song from a musical. They will hope to wow a panel of judges as well as a virtual audience, each of which will award scores. The scores will be combined (just like on Strictly) and at the end of the one-off special a lucky celeb will be named the 2021 All Star Musicals champion.

Original host John Barrowman is back to present the show and he can't wait. "Now more than ever we're all in need of some fabulous musical entertainment and I can't wait to be reunited with [judge] Elaine Paige on stage for All Star Musicals," he says.

Who are the judges on All Star Musicals?

West End legend Elaine Paige once again sits at the head of the panel, offering her feedback as well as providing each performer with a special masterclass. She's excited to be back. "All Star Musicals is a joy to be a part of, I'm so pleased to be back heading up the critics' panel and mentoring our new celebrities. We've got the most wonderful evening of musical theatre and entertainment lined up for viewers and some very exciting surprises."

The show's original judges - Strictly star Kevin Clifton and Broadway sensation Kristin Chenoweth - will not appear on the show in 2021.

Instead, Samantha Barks joins the panel. Barks shot to fame in BBC One talent show I'd Do Anything, a search for an actress to play Nancy in a West End production of Oliver!, for which the judges included ASM host John Barrowman. Although Barks lost out to Jodie Prenger, she has gone on to great success, starring in the blockbuster film adaptation of Les Miserables.

West End star Trevor Dion Nicholas will also return to the panel.
