The Kenwright production of Joseph is truly awful.

80% of the blame lies with Kenwright, but I'd give a good 20% to Henry "I can't choreograph" Metcalfe".

Tackiest, nastiest excuse for a musical I've ever seen.

How can Keith Jack be the Narrator as that part is usually played by a woman? Also glad to see Henry still with the show, I remember once seeing the show when he went on as one of the brothers, about 20 years older than anyone else on stage but still cutting his funky stuff.

~~Generic comment questioning his masculinity.~~

There's no reason why the narrator needs to be a woman so why shouldn't it be a man? It does leave the show feeling distinctly male-heavy, but if the production team don't see that as a problem then why not?

In my opinion anyone interested in improving himself should not rule out becoming pure energy.

Many years ago the part of the Narrator was played by a man and it was only when it was revamped in the Jason/Linzi era that the Narrator was played by a female.

Personally Keith didn't do anything for me on ADWD but reports I have heard back have said he is suprisingly good.

I'm not going to see the touring version myself so can't comment on his abilities one way or the other.

I agree wholeheartedly. Last time I saw Kenwrights production I was truly appalled at how utterly rubbish it was in just about every way. Nothing would ever entice me to a return visit especially not the casting of Craig Craig Chalmers who was by far the weakest of all the contestants on Any Dream Will Do.

I won't be called a baggage!

Kenwright has this thing about always wanting his Joseph to be a blond though. Having worked on it, I have to agree it's a terrible show for a truly horrible production company who treat you like s***. And Henry Metcalfe is one of the nastiest people in the business - leching over the dancing girls and generally being vile...

To be honest, I'm surprised it continues to tour. If I was a writer of musicals and someone toured a production of my show as dreadful as Kenwright's Joseph I would have done everything in my power to have had it shut down.
