Don't Stop Believing is a Channel 5 British television talent show. It is inspired by the musical comedy-drama Glee, and features live shows in which musical performance groups compete against each other, with viewers voting on the winner.
It is presented by Emma Bunton and an all star judging panel made up of Chucky Klapow, Duncan James, Tamzin Outhwaite, and Anastacia!

MT4Uth were one of the 4000 musical theatre groups across the UK that entered into 'Don't Stop Believing'. They sucessfully completed two rounds of auditions and were invited to the live quarter finals after only a few hours of rehearsals!
MT4Uth battled it out live on air securing a place in the ‘judges wildcard’ show on Sunday 15th August 2010. The Channel 5 show which aired on the Sunday 8th August saw the ten Northern Ireland performers perform the Muse hit “Feeling Good”, live on national TV in front of an estimated audience of 5 million, beating off stiff competition from Lisburn performers Fusion Theatre.
Tamzin said the production was 'Performance Art', Anastasia declared the group as "Full, creepy and...great! Chucky also remarked that we were a group he would definitely remember in the morning!
Another celebrity supporter came in the form of David Grant, the vocal coach on Fame Academy and X-Factor!
"Well done. So glad to see MT4Uth making it this far and to see you doing so well."
