But not hosting... This year's telecast is starting to intrigue me.

Have any performers been announced?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Riedel says Billy Joel might open the show.

It would be unusual to see Curly from OKLAHOMA! with long locks singing "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" - but I am sure we will enjoy watching Hugh reprise his much-raved performance from the West End ( I was lucky to see it a few years ago).

At least having Hugh there would attract more viewers, whether they tune in to watch it just for him or not.
