Runner up from the BBC TV show, Any Dream Will Do, Craig Chalmers has landed the starring role in a touring production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The 16-week regional tour of the musical kicks off on 20 August at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, Kent.

The singer, who was once in the boyband No Reason, is hoping to use his “pop background to give Joseph a more up-to-date image”.

I am surprised by this casting choice. I liked Craig, but thought he lacked the talent of some of the stronger candidates, eg; Daniel and Seamus. Perhaps they didn’t audition for this tour.
