I Will Survive

I Will Survive is an Australian talent show-themed television series that premiered on Network Ten on 21 August 2012. The premise of the show is to search for a new, unknown talent to perform in the Broadway production of the musical Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Due to the Broadway theatre production closing in June 2012, the prize has been amended to another performance on Broadway, along with a $250,000 cash prize. The title of the show is derived from the tile of a song in the production, "I Will Survive", originally sung by Gloria Gaynor. I Will Survive is hosted by actor and singer Hugh Sheridan and features judges Jason Donovan, who played Tick in the West End theatre production of the show, and Stephan Elliott, the director of the film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Finale - New York

After a spectacular final episode of intense competition, the curtain came down on I Will Survive. Arriving in New York, the top three began by performing a flashmob, appropriately to the track Broadway. After rehearsals, they then travelled to the famous Spiegelworld for a group performance of Gloria Gaynor’s legendary hit I Will Survive, which decided the final two. For their last challenge, the boys had 24 hours to conceive a solo performance piece that truly encapsulated their triple-threat credentials, designing everything from the song direction to the costumes. Paula Abdul joined Jason and Stephan at the judging table, with all three mesmerised by the caliber of the routines. After a final song together and a nervous wait, the I Will Survive champion and winner of $250,000 was revealed.
