Each celeb will receiving mentoring from theatre legend Elaine Paige, expert choreographers and vocal coaches, as they perform in front of a West End chorus line.
Alongside Elaine on the judging panel will be Trevor Dion Nicholas and Les Misérables star Samantha Barks, with the panel and Barrowman joining forces to open the show with a special performance of Hairspray hit 'You Can't Stop The Beat'.
The announcement follows Luisa previously denying she will return to EastEnders as Tina Carter, while teasing a forthcoming TV project (presumably All Star Musicals).

"I LOVE musicals!" Luisa said. "I love singing. This is a secret dream to do a show like this!
"It scares me hugely but I really wanted to teach my kids that even though something may be so out of your comfort zone, do it anyway – it could be the best memory of your life. And life is all about pushing boundaries and making memories, right?"
All Star Musicals debuted in 2019 and was won by Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank.
All Star Musicals will return to ITV later this month.
