Last night was the series finale of the NBC talent show competition "You're the One That I want" in which the contestants were vying for tbhe leading roles in a new Broadway production of "Grease." I mised the finale and most of the season. Just couldn't get into it.
Now the BBC is doing its own version of the show byt instead of competing for the spots in "Grease," they will be vying for parts in a UK production of " Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." As if that wasn't appealing enough, one of the show's judges will be the incredibly handsome and talented John Barrowman who recently wed his longtime boyfriend. Barrowman is a veteran of the stage in additon to his TV work in the UK ("Do Who" and "Torchwood" and in the U.S. ("Central Park West" and "Titans").
The BBC show is called "Any Dream Will Do" and Barrowman will be joined by Denise van Outen from the American version, producer Bill Kenwright, voice coach Zoe Tyler and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Another wonderful gay element is this: the showwill be hosted by the openly gay Graham Norton!
