I Can’t Sing!, which premieres at the London Palladium on 26 March 2014 (previews from 27 February), is billed as an “hilarious new musical which goes behind the microphones and under the judges’ desks at the biggest show on earth”.

As previously reported, former WhatsOnStage and Olivier Award-winner Nigel Harman plays a character based on Simon Cowell and will be joined in the principal cast by Cynthia Erivo, currently appearing in The Color Purple at the Menier Chocolate Factory, and Holby City star Alan Morrissey.
