Musicals Week: Routine Reveal
Jazz hands at the ready, it’s showtime for our five remaining couples! They’re bringing the best of the West End to the Ballroom, in what’s set to be a spectacular Musicals special.

So, prepare yourselves for a night of dazzling showtunes from some theatre classics, as our couples will be serving stage magic across the dance floor, from their moves to their costumes and of course the wonderful tunes…
Annabel and Johannes: Foxtrot to For Good from Wicked
Bobby and Dianne: Salsa to (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing
Ellie and Vito: Quickstep to Belle from Beauty And The Beast
Layton and Nikita: Paso Doble to Backstage Romance from Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Nigel and Katya: Charleston to Step In Time from Mary Poppins
Before the curtain rises on these fab-u-lous numbers, which routine would you love front row seats for?
Make sure you join us this Saturday at 7:25pm on BBC One!

I've just read that Angela S is doing the Strictly tour, along with Bobby , Annabel and Krishnan. Thankfully Angela will continue to enjoy her dance journey.
Nigel's can be great. just no mistakes!
Layton has a great tune! But I have the sad feeling he's gonna be our dance off assassin from now until the final.
Ellie will be fabulous as always.
Annabel's can go one of two ways. With all the high energy dances, her's can stand out more. Or, because it's not so high energy, it can come off boring.
Bobby. I'm worried for him. we've seen this song and dance done before.
Also love the music for Layton & Nikita - could be very dramatic atmosphere to that one.
Feel DA has a lot of jiggery pokery to do on Ellie's music. Not got much feel of the quickstep to it as it stands.
Think Annabel's Foxtrot could be beautiful and stand out from all the musicals noise.
Think this Saturday will be great!
Everyone has a strong dance to suit them. This will be a make it or break it week for everyone. I can't call it one bit.
Since For Good is a duet between Elphaba and Glinda, which character for Annabel? Assuming Johannes will be Fiyero, but maybe not. Ellie will make a great Belle, though this would be at least the third time Belle/Beauty&the Beast are on Strictly.
Like many others I believe 'the' Dirty Dancing Salsa for the humpteenth time is doing Bobby&Dianne a bit of a disservice (I just watched Louis&Flavia, brilliant), but perhaps they will surprise us with putting a different spin on it.
Mary Poppins also somewhat over-used in Strictly? Though a Charleston should suit Nigel well.
