I do have a sneaking soft spot for "Joseph". I don't think it deserves much of the petty hate thing that it gets at all. Particularly not the better London version.
But with increasing speculation now that it will be closing sooner rather than later, and April rather than the already brought forward May end, it must be a bit of a disappointment for Gareth Gates. And a Christmas season will be a bit of a sop for him. Is it likely he had a guarantee in his contract that they are wanting to still utilise, if they are having to effectively pay him anyway. Who is producing might be a bit of a clue.
And the other issue, of course, is what they will be doing with the Adelphi in the interim between Joseph and the Derren Brown Show. Would they really want it to just stand empty?
