I'm going on Monday and was wondering if he's as sh*t as I think he's going to be. What's the word?
Anyone seen Gareth in Joseph yet?

I've seen him...twice *hangs head in shame* I saw his 3rd performance last Saturday and was given tickets to his opening night by someone I know. He's actually very very good, I've seen all the people who've actually played Joseph at the Adelphi at least twice (yeah yeah, laugh :P) and he's...my favourite, I will so get shot for that if certain people find out! Really though, I thought he was great, his voice is very different to what I expected and he actually ACTS!
Have fun =)

SADM is just a spoilsport. I'm about as cynical and vicious as they come, and Joseph still manages to melt my heart and put a smile on my face every time I see it or listen to the CD.
Gareth is a decent singer by all accounts, and it's not like Joseph is a difficult role to act so I'm sure he's absolutely fine.
And RS, let me know if you get offered tickets again - would love to see GG in but am stupidly skint right now.

He is a decent Joseph but not quite there in the acting. Ok the show is hackneyed and naff but it is good fun and does what it promises - entertains. His singing is very good though.
Much as I am an adovocate of newer productions of things, of which there have been many over the years in and out of London, there is always a place for old "favourites". And I would rather see Joseph, with all its flaws, over some pretentiously directed/written/acted piece of, for want of a better phrase, "wanky theatre" anytime. Not that newer productions of things are automatically in they category but some most definitely are.

I'm surprised people are rating the singing... I've always thought that although he can carry a tune, his voice is weak and anonymous. But if he's worked on it, good on him.
Ugh, I absolutely hate this show. Actually, not the show itself, rather this production. It's like something ALW might have vomited up after seeing his own reflection.

I was never a fan of his pop singing - although he always trumped the bland, whiney, one-dimensional and almost lispy vocals of Will Young anyday for me!
But on stage it all works somehow with his vocals which come across as strong and convincing. Well much stronger than I expected.

Almost lispy?! If you turn the volume down when he's singing on telly, it looks like he's chewing a lump of liver!

I'd never seen him do anything before but I looked up his old stuff and his voice is very different now, it's a lot lower than you'd expect, and he really belts it out occasionally, but needs to a bit more.
Exy, have sent you a message!

I haven't seen him as Joseph yet but I did see his theatrical debut in Cinderella at Wimbledon. He has an amazing singing voice but did seem to struggle slightly with his stammer a few times when talking. As a former stammerer myself my heart goes out to him - nothing can zap your confidence more. Luckily Joseph is mostly sung through so he should cope okay.

Oh was so so hoping someone would start a post about Gareth as the new Joseph.
I went to see him and thought he was brill. I was amazed at his singing voice. He is really very good.
It's been ages since I saw Joseph previously and I had forgotten how much fun it was. Certainly made me feel good.
I loved the narrator too. I think there are two of them. The one I saw was really good.

He is supposedly, well no supposedly about it, he Is a very hairy guy and he was told to shave it all off as Joseph needs to have that clean cut look. it was in the paper last week.
He goes for the full wax once a week.
