Strictly Come Dancing is set to dazzle audiences with a Musicals Week special airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this Saturday at 7.05pm. The show will feature performances by both professionals and couples, drawing inspiration from beloved musicals across the decades.
During the Results show on Sunday, viewers can look forward to a special performance of The Schuyler Sisters from Hamilton, along with a classic routine from Sunset Boulevard by the professionals. Leading up to their performances, the couples share their thoughts and feelings as they prepare to hit the ballroom stage.
Highlighted couples include Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell, who discuss their past experiences in musicals and auditions. Other contestants like JB Gill and Lauren Oakley reminisce about their high school musical involvements and share their go-to feel-good show tunes.
From emotional highs to nerve-calming techniques, each couple provides insights into their Strictly journey, revealing moments of vulnerability and triumph. The cast also shares fun anecdotes, such as spontaneous singing and dancing between takes.
If the Strictly cast were part of a musical, Tasha Ghouri envisions a Legally Blonde-inspired storyline titled “The Life of Tasha,” while Aljaž Škorjanec imagines himself as a character in her vibrant narrative. The pair also playfully assign roles like hero, villain, and comic relief to their fellow cast members for a hypothetical group musical performance.
As the Strictly journey continues, the cast members display camaraderie and a shared passion for musical storytelling, making this season a must-watch event for all fans of dance and entertainment.
