A musical starring Scottish sitcom actress Elaine C. Smith will premiere at Newcastle's Theatre Royal in March 2012.

Subsequently, it will tour for at least six months, with dates already scheduled in the U.K., Australia and the U.S.

Fittingly, the production is titled I Dreamed a Dream — the tune from the musical Les Misérables that shot Boyle to fame after her performance of it on TV reality contest Britain's Got Talent in 2009.

What a waste ! ;-)

Darren Criss, the singing dreamboat from Glee, may seem a bit wet behind the ears, but he's not! He is a seasoned performer who just happens to look sexy a bit wet behind the ears and everywhere else!

Blaine released Kurt’s hand and launched into Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” flirtily crooning it his way. For Kurt, the moment was a first glimpse at a future in which he could be himself and belong.

The next day, Glee’s version of “Teenage Dream” shot up the iTunes charts, becoming the most downloaded song yet from a show that had recently surpassed the Beatles’ record for the most singles to chart on Billboard’s Hot 100. And in a world teeming with undeserving reality TV insta-stars, Criss became a bona fide overnight sensation.

This is more than just a teenage dream, or even a gay one. As a top 10 show among men ages 18 to 49, Fox’s kooky jukebox musical has a fanbase that extends beyond the usual coalition of teenage girls and gay guys who tune in to Gossip Girl or90210. Commercial time on Glee commands top dollar (behind only Sunday Night Football and American Idol, according to Advertising Age) and big-name stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Britney Spears line up for guest appearances. Its coveted berth after the recent Super Bowl -- of all things -- shouted one thing: Glee has become the only true network TV breakout hit of the last few years.

On Ellen, however, he came out as 'not gay'

Gaga gaga over 'Peg girl

"Can't stop crying watching this. This is why I make music. She is the future," Gaga's posting stated.
