I'm sure many of you using this board and Tanith's site already know me (or know of me) but I'm Rosemary from Southend in Essex.
I was a complete Joseph junkie during its run at the New London - wouldn't dare to admit to the number of times I went but it was an awful lot. Comments from cast members like 'you're here more often than I am' (bless them...) will give you an idea. I first discovered Joseph when it was in Oxford prior to going to Liverpool over Christmas (where I was to be found every weekend) and went to see it initially when Stephen Gately took over the role of Joseph. I have been a fan of Stephen's for many years and it was brilliant to see him in his first stage musical, especially this one. He is obviously my favourite Joseph, but I have seen many others since then and have some runners-up. The NLT cast is also my favourite for all the good times they gave me and all of us regulars, they were fantastic and I still go to see them in their respective new shows as much as I can. But I got hooked on the show itself and still love it - ultimate feelgood basically. I have been to see it on tour since the London run ended, most recently in St Albans. It's been fab seeing a few of the ex-NLT cast back on tour - Brian Graves, Russel Hicken, John Melvin of course, and it was extra-great to see James Head back as Jacob/Potiphar (my favourite) in St Albans. I'm not sure if Brian or Russel will be staying on at the upcoming cast-change - assuming John Melvin will - maybe if anyone finds out they could post please.
Anyway, long post - hope you're still awake! - but that's me and I'll try to post anything useful I hear about cast in new shows etc.
