With West End star Ben Forster

Adam meets West End superstar Ben Forster, who chats about his new album of showtunes.

Adam meets West End superstar Ben Forster, who hit the big time when he won Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s "Superstar" on ITV. He's gone on to star in many huge shows, and chats to Adam about his new album of showtunes.

Adam also meets the musical director behind the show "Step into Christmas", touring venues across the region.

Our theatre correspondent John Martin brings us his round up of the shows on tour and coming to our theatres in the next week.

And another round of Magic Music. Can you work out the hit when we turn off all the instruments bar one?
