Hill's first musical I Can't Sing! played the Palladium in 2014.
Ben Hewis, What's On Stage, 17th October 2016Following the wildly successful TV Burp, pickings have been slim for Harry, with his film, X Factor musical and Stars In Their Eyes reboot all failing to find favour.

And judging by the first episode it could evolve to be just as funny.
