Darren Saves the Day for Dreamcoat???
Date: 30 July 2003
Who will replace
Stephen Gately in the title role of
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in the West End? Though the classic Biblical musical is now booking at the New London Theatre up to the end of February 2004, Gately is due to complete his contract in September. Should we expect another former boybander to succeed the Boyzone favourite? 'H' from Steps has previously been mentioned as a possibility. However, our bet is on
Darren Day, veteran of the musical stage and the more harrowing jungle-based reality TV show,
I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here. After a dramatic stint on the fringe, Day has returned to his musical roots (See
News, 12 Jun 2003). He's recently taken over in - and apparently rejuvenated - the touring production of
Summer Holiday, which finishes its schedule at the end of September.
