A CAST of actors with plenty of experience singing Joseph songs took to the stage at the Cliffs Pavilion.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, produced by Bill Kenwright, is running at the Cliffs until Saturday.

The performers are all either finalists from Any Dream Will Do, the TV search for Joseph, which was won by Lee Mead from Eastwood, or Grease is the Word, which was looking for people to fill the two lead roles in the musical adaptation of the film.

Familiar faces include Craig Chalmers, who plays Joseph in the touring version, and Keith Jack, who came second in the show.

Chris Barton and Antony Hansen both from Any Dream Will Do and Wayne Smith who was on Grease is the Word also appear. Meanwhile, a schoolboy from Benfleet will be among the voices singing in the choir at the production.

Alexander Kersley, 13, a pupil at the Appleton School, will sing in the choir every night during the six-day run, which began last night.

Tickets are on sale from the Box Office on 01702 351135.
