The full cast of Hamilton take to the stage in a television exclusive, Call The Midwife’s Helen George appears in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I, and Michael Ball performs an iconic song from Aspects of Love.

Also featured are show-stopping numbers from the casts of Disney’s Newsies, Six, Ain’t Too Proud and The Bodyguard.

And there will be first looks at the upcoming tours of Shrek, We Will Rock You and Wicked.

Completing the line up will be performances from West End classics Les Misérables, Mamma Mia! and Royal Shakespeare Company’s Matilda.

Plus, Jason also gives some young musical theatre fans the chance of a lifetime as they join him on stage for a very special performance.

And there is a star-studded celebration of the career of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and a behind the scenes look at touring show Heathers: The Musical.
