WHEN Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat comes to Poole in January audiences will undoubtedly recognize the young man in the leading role… Keith Jack was one of the most popular finalists in the hit BBC series Any Dream Will Do.

Watched by millions every Saturday night, the show was produced to find a leading man for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new West End production, and Keith, chosen from tens of thousands of wannabees, charmed audiences week after week with his vocal talents, finally coming in a close second.

He went on to play the narrator in the UK tour of Joseph and in 2011 he took over the lead role, which he will continue to play during next year’s tour. As panto season is upon us, Keith is currently The Prince in Sleeping Beauty in Glasgow but he’s also performed in the title roles of Aladdin and Peter Pan.

Prestigious audiences include Her Majesty the Queen and the Spanish royal family at the ‘Parliament Picnic’, and more than 100,000 people at Andrew Lloyd Webber’s birthday concert at Hyde Park. He also has two albums under his colourful cloak.

Having enjoyed excellent reviews, Bill Kenwright’s production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s popular family musical continues to enjoy huge success across the country with standing ovations at every performance.

This retelling of the biblical story about Joseph, his eleven brothers and the coat of many colours resonates with young and old alike with a score packed full of hits – including Close Every Door and Any Dream Will Do.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is showing at Lighthouse, Poole from January 24 to 29, 2012.
