So, it looks like Connie won the BBC’s How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, the televised competition to find the Maria for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new production of the Sound of Music.
For a change, I think the right person has actually won one of these talent shows! She was clearly the best from the very beginning.
I’ve missed the last couple of weeks, obviously, but it seems that the final was between Siobhan, Connie and Helena – both of whom were, I think, not very good in the first place. I’m intrigued, though, by a text I got from my mum a fortnight ago that read “Simone and Siobhan out”… which is weird, if she was in the final. Sigh.
Anyhoo – I’m going to have to find a chance to see the show now – along, of course, with Wicked and Spamalot. Sometime straight after Christmas, I think…
