Any Dream Will Do…<br />
The smash hit BBC show Any Dream Will Do introduced a whole new generation of fans to<br />
the music, excitement and Technicolor brilliance of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s seminal musical.<br />
Watched by millions every Saturday night, the show was produced to find a leading man for the new<br />
West End production. After twelve nail-biting weeks, the public finally decided that Lee Mead would be<br />
the West End’s newest star.<br />
But for some of the other finalists this was only the beginning of the journey: Bill Kenwright recognised<br />
the extraordinary talent which was being nurtured week on week and decided they too should have the<br />
opportunity to perform live on stage in this wonderful show. To date, four of those finalists have appeared in<br />
the touring production of <strong>Joseph</strong>: Antony Hansen, Chris Barton, Keith Jack and, with his hugely popular<br />
portrayal of <strong>Joseph</strong>, Craig Chalmers. They were soon to be joined by another TV finalist –<br />
this time the BBC’s I’d Do Anything provided the opportunity for talented finalist Tara Bethan to join the<br />
company as narrator, at the same time as Antony Hansen took on the role of Pharaoh.<br />
