So I have no clue how I missed these guys, but apparently a theater group auditioned on BGT. There audition was not televised for some reason on the main show. But today was there live semi final performance and well.... I guess the Judges do not like musicals. I personally thought the song was freaking awesome! I have no clue to what their backstory is other then they are a musical theater group out of England. But here is a link to their semi finals performance that they performed today.

Im actually with the judges on this one, I thought it was really cringe and cheesy, like the worst stereotype of musical theatre with a little eurovision thrown in.

I didn't think it was all awful, but the choerography was poor, as were the first two singers. With some work the song could be alright, but it wasn't a great advert if that is the best of their show, and the bit they chose to advertise!

Hi,

I'm one of the creatives involved with "Chasing The Dream" you refer to. We're always interested in constructive feedback - good or bad - so thanks for your comments.

Presenting a two minute extract from a show for Reality TV, with a viewing audience who we were advised are predominantly not theatre goers, was quite a challenge - very much like fitting a square peg into a round hole. I could write an essay on the 'negotiations' we encountered (from song choice to production to costumes) but you could probably use your imagination!

I would encourage you to take a look at the show (as in more than 2mins of a Reality TV staged version of a song chosen by BGT!) - I can't guarantee you'll love it, but I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

Either way, feedback is always welcome.

Thanks,

Chasing The Dream
