Joining
musical composer and producer Andrew Lloyd Webber and presenter Graham Norton is
the Any Dream Will Do panel - Broadway and West End leading lady Denise Van
Outen, Torchwood star John Barrowman, acclaimed theatre producer Bill Kenwright,
and outspoken and opinionated voice coach Zoe Tyler.
The Auditions
Thousands of hopefuls have auditioned up and down the country and the judges now
have the arduous task of whittling down the best in a series of call backs,
followed by Joseph School and a final live Performance to find a new Joseph.
At the auditions, the boys were asked to perform two contrasting songs in front
of a leading casting agent, to show off their vocal range, but not everybody had
what it takes to get to the next stage...
The London Call Backs
Only 100 boys make it to the London call backs and, this time, the Joseph
wannabes have to prove their worth in front of Any Dream Will Do's panel of
judges.
Joseph School
The final 50 boys enter Joseph School, where a team of the best coaches in the
business teach them vocals, acting and choreography.
The intense Joseph School workshops also include celebrity mentors such as Jason
Donovan popping in to lend their support and advice. Plus, Andrew Lloyd Webber
is also on hand to drop a few bombshells.
The Live Performance
The final test is one that will stretch the boys to their limit as Andrew
invites them to his castle in Ireland to perform for his friends, family and
local people.
Only 12 boys will come through the audition process still clinging to their
hopes of wearing the Dreamcoat. Then it's up to you, the viewer, to decide which
young boy will become a superstar and take to the stage.
