'X Factor' musical to be called 'I Can't Sing' confirms Harry Hill

Comedian Harry Hill has opened up about the forthcoming stage production that will poke fun at Simon Cowell's reality television talent show, 'The X Factor'.

He has signed up to take part in the musical, which will be titled 'I Can't Sing', and told London's Evening Standard newspaper that Cowell is excited about the project:

"We’d been umm-ing and ahh-ing about the title for a while, then it hit us — there’s never been a musical called 'I Can’t Sing'! We think it’s also the only musical for a while with a singing hunchback, a talking dog and a man on an iron lung, but we’d have to Google that to be sure. We’re pretty certain that you won’t have seen anything like it before and it’s great that Simon is backing it 4,500 per cent.”

The show is being financed by Stage Entertainment and Cowell’s Syco Entertainment company, and tickets for it will go on sale tomorrow (May 23) before it hits the stage next March (2014). While Cowell is yet to comment on the musical, he recently described part of it as the “funniest thing I’ve ever seen".
