Andrew Lloyd Webber announced that the winning Dorothy, in this case Danielle Hope, would be booked to perform at the Royal Variety Performance, 2010 in front of HRH the Queen which might become a sort of battle of the talent shows, since  the winner of Britain’s got Talent also performs there, as part of the winning prize really, and maybe other similar shows like Strictly come dancing and the X Factor.

The Royal Variety Show normally takes place in December and is televised live on a Saturday night.

Introducing the acts in his own inimitable style will be this year’s host, award-winning comedian Michael McIntyre. Danielle Hope will join performers from the worlds of music, comedy and theatre to perform in the presence of Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, at the iconic London Palladium for the 82nd annual Royal Variety Performance on 9th December 2010 – just as the Palladium itself celebrates a very special birthday, reaching its 100th anniversary on 26th December 2010.

Danielle joins a host of other performers including Take That, who will be performing on the show as a five-piece for the first time since 1994. Cheryl Cole will take to the stage with an exclusive performance of ‘The Flood’, taken from her second number one solo album, while urban trio N-Dubz will be rapping for the Royals, as they make their Variety Performance debut.

An all-star comedy line-up includes routines from Liverpool’s king of comedy John Bishop; Edinburgh Fringe Festival Best Newcomer, Sarah Millican; new funniest kid on the block, Jack Whitehall and everyone’s favourite East End geezer, Micky Flanagan.

Britain’s Got Talent winners Spellbound, double Gold medallists at this year’s Acrobatic Gymnastic Championships, will perform a spectacular brand new routine.

The people’s tenor Russell Watson will deliver a powerful performance of ‘Parla Piu Piano’, best known as the love theme from The Godfather, while the Chelsea Pensioners will give a heart warming rendition of ‘If You Were The Only Girl (In The World)’.

Other performers include Daniel Whiston, top-class ice-skater and two-time winner of Dancing On Ice, with his magical skating and flying routine.

The Royal Variety Performance is an annual charity event in aid of the Entertainment Artistes’ Benevolent Fund. It will be shown on BBC1 in December. You can see Danielle Hope’s performance on the show in full on BBC1, Thursday 16th December from 8pm.
