I'd Do Anything

I'd Do Anything is the new BBC West End talent show, that aims to follow in the footstes of previous West End reality talent shows like 'How do you solve a problem like Maria' and 'Any Dream Will Do.'

Each contestant will compete each week to become the next Nancy or Oliver. There are twelve Nancy's and fifteen Oliver's that are competiting against each other. They will have to perform each week in groups and by themselves.

The public cannot vote for their favourite this time round, so each contestant has to impress Andrew Lloyd Webber in a bid to become the next Oliver or Nancy.

Who do you think will be the next Oliver or Nancy?
