The musical, Street of Dreams, is based on the ITV soap with narrator Paul O'Grady and a number of the actors of Corrie participating, covering iconic characters of the soap. The EastEnders exec will be attending the production to assess whether it's possible to move in that direction on the BBC.
Following the 25th Anniversary live show which finally provided us with the answer to who actually killed Archie Mitchell, it was proved that the format could be done successfully. However, I doubt we will be seeing the stars singing and dancing around the Vic any time soon as John Yorke claims that a similar live rendition of EastEnders would have to be more 'gritty' in line with the mood and expectation of the show.
The Ender's crew are, however, looking to expand; and live entertainment might just be the key.
Nothing has been confirmed as of yet but watch this space.
We'd like to hear your opinion on whether EastEnders should hit the stage.
Please leave us your thoughts in the comment box.
