How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?

Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber has said that he will not be working on another BBC One West End talent show next year but will start searching for a new star in 2010.

Two years ago most people hadn’t heard of Lee Mead or Connie Fisher.

Andy Abraham, Rob McVeigh and Simona Armstrong will be competing to sing in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade.

The Financial Times reports today that Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sound of Music has taken an estimated £25 million in the nine months since it started its run in London's West End.

Prince William and Prince Harry came on stage twice at the new Wembley national soccer stadium during yesterday's star-studded concert in memory of their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales

I recently saw Aoife Mulholland triumph in her first night as Maria in the Sound of Music.

Aoife finished fourth in the popular BBC show ‘How do you solve a problem like Maria?’ which saw Connie Fisher win the title role.

There was a touch of Deja vu this evening when Andrew Lloyd Webber returned to Saturday evenings on BBC1 in search of a new star to grace the West End stage.

The Daily Mail reports that Connie Fisher is now singing over a backing track in The Sound of Music.

Connie Fisher, the star of The Sound of Music, is to reduce her workload on the show.
