Sky Arts' Freeview channel has continued to provide a wealth of goodies!

Not only was a release date unveiled for the National Theatre's Romeo and Juliet film (set to be presented in April), but this week also sees a number of shows on offer for stage enthusiasts.

What's more, the timing of Les Misérables next Sunday should coincide perfectly with the end of Musicals: The Greatest Show – which is arriving on BBC One at 7.40pm, before heading to BBC iPlayer.

Les Misérables also just clinched the top two spots in the BBC Radio 2 poll of top musical numbers – find out more here.
