Prepare to be razzle dazzled as a huge night of musical theatre entertainment returns to the BBC on Saturday night. The National Lottery's Big Night of Musicals is becoming something of an annual fixture, and will allow viewers to see some of the very finest performers in some of the biggest shows currently booking in UK theatres.
The show was recorded at Manchester's AO Arena earlier this week, with Manchester's own Jason Manford hosting the show alongside Beverley Knight. Expect a host of guest stars popping up along the way, including Nicole Scherzinger and Craig Revel-Horwood during the night's entertainment.
But naturally, it's the music that's the star of this show - with some incredible live performances of some of the biggest theatre hits of recent times.
