“This time around we have the added bonus of new songs from the second album being featured. We also have some fantastic guests joining us – Imelda May and Jason Manford!  The sketches with the guests are great fun, and of course, we get to sing with them both. It’s going to be a really fun night.” – Alfie Boe

Following their successful first album and TV special, Michael Ball and Alfie Boe are to feature in another TV special on ITV.

Fans will be treated to unique renditions of As If We Never Said Goodbye, from Sunset Boulevard, He Lives In You from The Lion King, The Prayer, You’re The Voice. The pair will also engage in a ‘sing off’ during which they’ll perform some unexpected musical numbers. They’ll be joined by the award winning singer songwriter Imelda May, comedian, actor and singer Jason Manford and their 28-piece orchestra.

Ball and Boe: Together Again, the sequel to the duo’s first album Together,  was not only 2016’s best-selling album in the UK, but soared to the Christmas No.1 album slot last year and has reached double-platinum status, with over 600,000 copies sold in the UK.

As two of the greatest voices in musical theatre, Ball and Boe bring the West End and Broadway classics back to life on ‘Together Again’. In addition to the songs performed in the show, the record features a wealth of additional hits from a ‘West Side Story’ medley to ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ to ‘New York New York’. 

“There are definitely certain songs that lend themselves to a visual as well as vocal experience, so these were an easy choice for both album and show. We felt these types of songs would work really well for the audience, both in the studio and at home.” – Michael Ball

Ball and Boe Back Together will air shortly on ITV, STV and UTV.
