Ah indeed, this is the group music video. It's nice to see it in its entirety.

Nathan James needs to get his head out of his own ass. He is such an egomaniac and I don't know why he got the spotlight in their group video.

There's also another video on the site with Oli:

None of the video's have his name on them, but all of the other contestants.

That's I assume because the tags are just for those that make it to the final stages

Oli's statement on his Superstar journey:

Thanks for all the Support on my appearance on "ITV Superstar" I had an amazing experience & audition for the show & met a fantastic talented bunch of guys whilst taking part. from what I have seen of the 1st 2 Episodes, ITV seem to have shown a fair representation of everyone they have featured. I can neither confirm or deny that I am still in Superstar or if.... ;-) I HAD TO PULL OUT DUE TO ROCK OF AGES COMMITMENTS....;-)

Remember ITV & ALW have had to choose 10 guys for the LIVE audition shows. It is not in the viewers or their best interest to give "Air Time" to those that they didn't or that they couldn't take to the final stage,no matter how wrong or right they may have been for the part of Jesus.

In the real world of auditioning sometimes people get overlooked & sometimes others get given an opportunity to shine, this process is no different. I know a handful of guys on top of the boys that went for "Jesus" that weren't available to audition in the first place that would have made a brilliant "Jesus's" So you see its not always about who's best... its about "right guy, right place , right time" I'd hate to think of all the jobs I would've have lost out on if we were all available at the same time :-)

All the boys I met at "Jesus School" deserved a shot & what everyone else thinks about the finalists is irrelevant because ITV & ALW ultimately decide, & are better placed to make that decision than anyone else.
The guys I met on "Superstar Island"came from far & wide & with varied experience in performing. What I love about the "TV searches" is that it gives the raw talent of this country that don't necessarily have the luxury of an agent or professional training behind them the chance to muscle it out on a level playing field with those like myself lucky enough to have both. I have never asked for a free pass for anything & do not want to be treated any different than the next guy & that was an attitude that was shared amongst most of the boys in the last 40 of Superstar.

I had such a laugh & have enjoyed watching the Tv Programmes immensely even if I was terrified I was gonna look like an idiot!

"Jesi" I salute you each & every one of you finalist or not,was brave enough to put themselves on the line & be criticised on national TV in the hope that we might learn something or even better achieve a dream of singing ALW incredible score. BUT! . . . . to those who think that its beneath them to audition in such a manor in front of the nation & show that your only human and share your warts and all? I have only this to say " TOO CHICKEN? "

My almost-15 Son is going next week with School. I'm not sure the kids will like it!! But before they watch the evening performance, they're doing a workshop within the Theatre, which I know they'll all enjoy.

Hah, this would definitely not be at the top of my list for a 15 year old to see. Let us know what he thinks of it!

They went yesterday. He enjoyed the Workshop, although they didn't actually do any 'drama'. As for the play, he surprised me by saying he liked it!! He said he had to really concentrate and didn't really understand it all, but still enjoyed it!! I've yet to see it.

I've been to see quite a few terrible things recently, Muncitor: All workers go to heaven, En-route, Rio Occupation launch and Outland. They all probably deserve 1/10. One of the performances at Rio Occupation launch, one of the artist starts playing Street Fighter the computer game half way through the performance. Yes there is a brazilian character in the game, but what is that all about? I understand pushing the boundaries and using new mediums, but he was really pushing his luck making the audience watch him play a computer game. Half the audience walked out after that "stint".

Hi,

Presume is is the best place to ask, but I'm considering..... p*ying! to see the Sunshine Boys matinee tomorrow in London and wondered if anyone had any tips to get the best price tickets?

I believe you can get cheap tickets at 10am on the door, but not sure how many there will be and if I can guarantee I'll make it there it time.

Thanks all.

Yup, day seats. I am not sure how popular they are for this particular production, you can always call the box office today to enquire how quickly they sell out. There's usually 20 or so in the first 1 or 2 rows.

Limited number of £10 day seats available from 10am on the day of the performance, in person only.
