BBC - What do we do with a problem like Maria -- fantastic & heartless

[UTUSN]

It's a reality show, supposedly about casting a "Maria" for a new production of whadduyoucallit, "The hills are alive" ---


Girls get eliminated. AND, yes, the Lloyd Webber dude makes the final decision in the elimination each week.


Graham NORTON is the host.


The cruelest part is at the end where the LOSER has to sing, "Goodbye, Farewell" with the chorus of WINNERS!1


It's fantastic!1 The cruelty is delicious. LLOYD-WEBBER gets to re-flash all his old songs from all other ouevres.
