Having successfully solved a problem like Maria, legendary composer and producer Andrew Lloyd Webber and his panel have whittled down thousands of hopefuls to just 12 finalists in their nationwide search to find a new Joseph. Now the hard work really begins as the finalists take to the stage in the first of eight live shows to prove that they have what it takes to land one of the best-loved roles in musical theatre.
In the presence of Andrew Lloyd Webber and his esteemed panel of experts – Broadway and West End leading lady Denise Van Outen, celebrated theatre producer Bill Kenwright, Torchwood star John Barrowman and outspoken vocal coach Zoe Tyler – 12 talented West End wannabes will battle it out to prove that they have the charisma and star quality worthy of the Technicolor™ Dreamcoat.
Graham Norton hosts as the Josephs give it everything they have for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to star on the West End stage. Once the panel have given their expert opinion, viewers are able to vote for their favourite. Whose dreams will be shattered? And who will still have the chance to be the public’s Joseph?
Later this evening, at 10.45pm, viewers can find out which Joseph has been voted off by the public – and which Josephs have survived to perform in next week’s live show.
