Leanne Jones, Julie Atherton and Ian ‘H’ Watkins will join YouTube phenomenon Miranda Sings in a series of concerts to be held May 27 and June 3 at the Leicester Square Theatre.

Miranda Sings is an internet character created by Colleen Ballinger, and proliferated via YouTube. The character is a satire of increasingly common YouTube videos featuring mediocre or even bad singers who film themselves singing as a form of self-promotion.

Jones won an Olivier Award for her performance in Hairspray. Atherton’s West End credits include Avenue Q, tick, tick…BOOM! and The Last 5 Years. Watkins is perhaps best known for his work with the band Steps.

The June 3 concert will also feature the winner of a Whatsonstage.com contest, who are being invited to share videos of themselves performing their own favorite show tunes. Miranda herself will judge the online competition.
