TORONTO - A new Canadian reality show aims to transform average Canadians into Broadway musical performers.
"Broadway Bootcamp" follows 18 people with no theatrical experience as they are thrown into a musical "bootcamp."
Bravo! says it has ordered 13 episodes of the one-hour documentary series.
In each episode, director Sarina Condello pushes novice performers to dance, sing, and act their hearts out for eight weeks.
Then, they'll have to perform a Broadway musical in front of a live audience.
The new reality show comes as sister station CTV prepares to introduce its mid-season Broadway-themed drama "Smash," starring Debra Messing.
