Showtime
Wales
We Love Wales because it is the land of song.
Now
some of the best loved shows and show tunes will be brought to BBC
2W with a ten-part programme from the first ever International Festival
of Musical Theatre being staged in Cardiff.
For
15 minutes every weekday night for two whole weeks of the festival,
all the highlights from the day's performances, talks, concerts
and masterclasses are brought to BBC 2W screens in Showtime Wales,
one of the biggest commitments to the arts from BBC Wales.
In
addition presenter Amanda Protheroe Thomas - stationed in a special
studio at the heart of the festival - and roving reporter Frances
Donovan will meet established stars of the musical stage, as well
as new faces yet to be discovered, in the first ever schools edition
of the musical masterpiece Les Miserables.
Showtime
Wales will celebrate the phenomenon that is musical theatre, visiting
the various venues to discover who is watching what, going behind
the scenes of performances such as the show voted Best Musical of
the Century by Time Magazine, Carousel, and the European premiere
of Ragtime, and reporting back with news, reviews and much more.
Starting
on Monday 21 October, Showtime Wales will bring a daily dose of
music, celebrities and Festival fun at 9.15pm every weekday evening
until Friday 1 November.
