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.
