I Can’t Sing! Is the brand new musical about The X Factor. Written by the award-winning comedian Harry Hill, the show is set to feature a talking dog, a singing hunchback and a man in an iron lung. The spoof musical will be a joy to both fans and sceptics of the TV show and promises to take a cheeky look at both the backstage drama, and the clash of egos at the judge’s table.
Taking its name from one of the funniest songs in the show, I Can’t Sing! theatre breaks will have you rolling in the aisles. Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh will both feature as judges, and with Cowell reportedly backing the show “4500%”, saying its “one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen” - if it can crack a smile on his face, it’ll certainly crack a smile on yours!
The madcap comedy of Harry Hill is perfect for a sidelong swipe at the TV institution that The X Factor has become, and on our I Can’t Sing! theatre breaks you can be sure that no prisoners will be taken when lampooning the show. Yet despite its antics, The X Factor has always been about getting behind a contestant with a powerful voice and a passion for music, and something this theatre break certainly won’t be lacking is heart.
You can complete our I Can’t Sing! theatre breaks with a top-quality London hotel just a few miles of the theatre.
