The Logo for the new reality singing competition-focused and X FACTOR-inspired stage musical I CAN'T SING has been unveiled and tickets are now onsale for the Simon Cowell-produced original West End musical which is set to open early next year.

According to the official site, I CAN'T SING kicks off previews February 27, with previews running through March 25, and tickets are no onsale for that period. Tickets will be available for the regular run of the musical continuing after that beginning on September 2.

The official synopsis of I CAN'T SING is as follows: "I CAN'T SING! is the hilarious new musical which goes behind the microphones and under the judges' desks at the biggest show on earth and reveals the (not necessarily accurate) tale of heartache and laughter which keeps millions of us glued to The X Factor, week-after-week. Written by BAFTA Award-winning comedian Harry Hill (3 BAFTAs, 7 British Comedy Awards and a Golden Rose of Montreux) with music and lyrics by Steve Brown (Spend, Spend, Spend, Spitting Image, Laura Mvula, TV Burp), I CAN'T SING! is co-produced by the patron saint of fame himself, MR Simon Cowell. Irreverent, anarchic and yet strangely touching, this spectacular musical comedy features a host of new and deliriously funny songs that will delight both fans and sceptics of The X Factor in equal measure. Directed by Sean Foley (co-founder of The Right Size; The Play What I Wrote; The Ladykillers; What The Butler Saw) with choreography by Kate Prince (Founder of Zoonation; Into The Hoods and Some Like It Hip Hop) and set design by Es Devlin (Creative Director for Take That, Kanye West and Pet Shop Boys stadium tours; designer for London 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony), the worlds of theatrical and television entertainment have come together to create an incredible musical spectacular in the West End's most renowned theatre, the London Palladium. Think you know The X Factor? Think again!"

So, are you ready to see if the man behind The X Factor can be as successful on the musical stage as he is in the recording studio and on the small screen?
