Jo Whiley and Vanessa Feltz

Jo Whiley and Vanessa Feltz present a unique edition of The Radio 2 Arts Show, with special guest leading West End theatre producer Bill Kenwright.

For one day only, Jo Whiley and Vanessa Feltz present a very special edition of The Radio 2 Arts Show.

They're joined by West End theatre impresario Bill Kenwright who will chat about his illustrious career both producing and directing hit shows such as Blood Brothers, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, and The Wizard of Oz.

Poet Murray Lachlan Young performs the poem he's written specially for 2DAY.

Sunday Half Hour's Father Brian D'Arcy tells us what painting has made a Big Impact on his career.

And we hear from Radio 2's Russell Davies as he meets some children at the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire - and finds out why perhaps the greatest storyteller of all time is still inspiring a generation to read.
