Bethnal Green based theatre school “Young and Talented” are taking part in the BBC TV show, “Sport Relief Does Glee Club.”
The club’s group “the Real Deal,” were chosen to perform on the children’s tv talent show along with 23 other groups from across the UK. They are all aged between 6 and 16.
So far the Real Deal have impressed the judges and are sitting at the top of the leader board.
Judge Carrie Grant described one performance as “a masterclass in soloists – amazing.”
The top five groups will go on to perform in the live semi-finals, screened on Thursday 22nd March at 4.30pm on BBC1.
There will be a phone-in public vote during the show – so the group are looking for support from everyone in Bethnal Green!
The top three groups in the vote will then perform in the final on Friday March 23rd at 5.15pm on BBC1.
Their performances in Episode 3 can still be watched via BBC iplayer, available here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01dlfmm/Sport_Relief_Does_Glee_Club_Episode_3/ (for a quick taster clip, forward and watch their short performance at 13.33 mins).
The Real Deal all attend the Saturday performing theatre school “Young and Talented” run by Suzann McLean Robinson at Bethnal Green’s community and arts centre Oxford House, on Derbyshire Street.
They say their musical influences include Adele and all types of musical theatre.
Best of luck to them!
