On Sunday 14th September, Radio 2 continues its celebration of the leading lights of musical theatre with Andrew Lloyd Webber's Birthday In The Park.

'Only the brave die young' claims a lyric line in the title song of the over-hyped and under achieving musical 'Only The Brave' playing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. If you are a discerning fan of serious musical theatre then perhaps a more apt phrase would be 'only the brave should come'.

The Fire Dept will present an expanded and updated version of its acclaimed At War: American Playwrights Respond to Iraq, an evening of alternately moving, haunting, and funny material by noted and emerging American playwrights, woven together to present a kaleidoscope of views on the war.

The finalists were announced in the BBC talent-search 'Any Dream Will Do,' where 12 young men compete for the lead in the up-coming West End production of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.' Additionally, 'Grease Is The Word' musical casting-search debuted on ITV Saturday.
