Comedian Jason Manford drops in to talk about his interesting new career direction - releasing debut album 'A Different Stage', which sees him singing his favourite show tunes.

The album will feature a rendition of 'On The Street Where You Live' from My Fair Lady, 'Hushabye Mountain' from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 'Stars' from Les Miserables and 'The Impossible Dream' from the 1965 hit Broadway musical Man of La Mancha.

Jason's career in musical theatre began some five years ago. He has performed in a number of smash hit musicals since making his 2012 West End debut in the Olivier Award-winning Sweeney Todd, co-starring with Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton as Italian barber Adolfo Pirelli. In 2014, he starred as Leo Bloom in the critically acclaimed production of Mel Brooks's The Producers. And last year he received rave reviews in the lead role of Caractacus Potts in the UK tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
