News just in that will have X-Factor star Joe McElderry fans chomping at the bit, we have the news that McElderry will be putting on the coat of many colours as he steps in to the role of one of the UK’s longest running musicals, Joseph and the Amazing Techincolour Dreamcoat.
In 2009 Joe McElderry, who was 18 at the time, won the sixth series of ITV’s The X-Factor, he beat off Olly Murs and Stacey Solomon.
Following McEderry’s win on the show he got to the number one spot in the UK Singles Chart with his version of the Miley Cyrus track, The Climb. His album, Wide Awake, went straight in to the top 10 at number 3 on the UK Album Charts and since then he has gone on to rack up two more top 10 albums, he has also become the first X-Factor artist to release four albums and has a new release on its way.
Joe, who hails from South Shields, Tyne and Wear, is also the first and only celebrity to win three reality TV shows! He was crowned the winner of the second series of ITV’s Popstar to Operastar before strapping on his skis and slaloming his way to become champion of Channel 4’s celebrity ski competition The Jump last year!
Joseph and the Techicolour Dreamcoat marks Joe’s first major theatrical appearance following a one-off West End gala performance as the lead in The Who’s Tommy in 2012.
Having garnered sensational reviews and standing ovations at every performance since its inception almost 35 years ago, Bill Kenwright’s Amazing’, ‘Superb’, ‘Wonderful’ and ‘Brilliant’ production of this sparkling family musical has now sold an estimated 20 million tickets. This vibrant and exciting retelling of the biblical story about Joseph, his eleven brothers and the coat of many colours sings out to young and old alike with a score which is crammed wall to wall with hits, including Jacob and Sons, Close Every Door and Any Dream Will Do.
Joseph will be coming to the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre next April and here at Blazing Minds we know that the show is going to be very popular with audiences old and young, with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a special arrangement by Bill Kenwright with the Really Useful Group, it’s certainly going to be a run at the Rhyl Pavilion that you won’t want to miss.
