ANY DREAM WILL DO SERIES 1

Graham Norton joins Lloyd Webber in search for next lead of West End production.

In Any Dream Will Do Series 1 on BBC Entertainment on DStv from April 19, host Graham Norton joins musical composer and producer Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber to launch a nationwide talent search to find a male lead for a new production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in London’s West End.

As thousands of hopefuls audition up and down the UK, it’s up to the show’s panel of judges to whittle down the best in a series of call backs. The final 50 then enter “Joseph School”, where a team of the best coaches in the business tutor them in vocals, acting and choreography before a final live performance which will see one of the 12 remaining Josephs given one of the best loved roles in Theatreland.

Joining Andrew Lloyd Webber on the judging panel are TV presenter and West End leading lady Denise Van Outen, Torchwood star John Barrowman, acclaimed theatre producer Bill Kenwright, and outspoken voice coach Zoƫ Tyler.

Any Dream Will Do Series 1 starts on April 19 at 19h30 on BBC Entertainment and continues every Sunday at 19h30.
