Harry Hill’s forthcoming musical designed to spoof the X Factor has a title! It will be called I Can’t Sing and it will open at the London Palladium in March 2014.

 

The “one-of-a-kind” musical, which is a joint venture of Stage Entertainment and Simon Cowell’s company Syco Entertainment, will feature 19 original songs by Steve Brown. 

 

Hill explained how they came up with the title in a statement. He said: “We'd been umm-ing and ahh-ing about the title for a while, then it hit us - there's never been a musical called I Can't Sing.”

 

“It also happens to be the title of one of the funniest songs in the show, and we hope hints at the direction we're taking this production.

 

“We think it's also the only musical for a while with a singing hunchback, a talking dog and a man on an iron lung, but we'd have to Google that to be sure.

 

“We're pretty certain that you won't have seen anything like it before and it's great that Simon is backing it 4,500%.”
