Default Royal Variety Performance
Whose performing,from the BBC

Quote:
A host of celebrities and artists from the worlds of music, comedy and theatre come together for the annual highlight of the showbiz calendar, the Royal Variety Performance.



Celebrating its 80th anniversary, this year's show will be returning to the iconic London Palladium on Thursday 11 December 2008 to be performed in the presence of Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.



Headlining for 2008 will be pop heart throbs Take That, cementing their place as the UK's comeback kings, with what is promised to be a sensational performance.



Temperatures are set to soar this winter with performances to remember from the sexiest girl group around, the Pussycat Dolls, with a medley of their sassiest hits.



Ready to take a bow will be r'n'b Umbrella diva Rihanna, and international singing sensation Leona Lewis makes her Royal debut, as does glamorous Welsh soul songstress Duffy.



Hoping to top his now legendary Singin' In The Rain will be Britain's Got Talent winner, 15-year-old George Sampson, with a brand new dance routine.



Housewives' favourite and Torchwood's suave Captain Jack, John Barrowman, will return to the stage and American music sensation Naturally 7 are set to amaze with their distinct acapella performance.



Pop veterans Cliff Richard and The Shadows will reform especially for the show as they prepare to celebrate their 50th anniversary; and performing a one-off duet will be multi Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Josh Groban and BBC Last Choir Standing victors Only Men Aloud.



From the world of theatre and dance the best of the West End will come together for one night only with Jersey Boys taking us through the rags-to-rock-to-riches tale of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.



The cast of Zorro will be bringing to life the legend of the masked Spanish hero and, celebrating its 10th year in the West End, Disney's The Lion King will dazzle us with the sights and sounds of the African Savanna.



Also set for centre stage and currently winning rave reviews is La Cage Aux Folles.



There will also be what promises to be a roof-raising live performance from legendary Queen guitarist Brian May and Kerry Ellis fresh from Broadway and the multi-award-winning Wicked.



Completing the show's theatrical line-up is the extraordinary Les Ballets Trockadero De Monte Carlo, the ballet troupe with a difference.



The nation's much-loved comedian Peter Kay returns to the Royal Variety Performance after a decade away with his Irish talent show-winning alter ego Geraldine McQueen.



Other top comedy at this year's performance will come from award-winning comic Jimmy Carr, banter merchant Michael McIntyre and funny man Rhod Gilbert.



Double act Armstrong and Miller will also be performing a one-off sketch featuring characters from their beautifully observed and completely barmy BAFTA-nominated comedy show.



The Royal Variety Performance is an annual charity event in aid of the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund and will be shown on BBC One in December.
