LUCY KAY joins Joe McElderry in Joseph tour
BRITAIN’S
GOT TALENT’s Lucy Kay will
play the Narrator in the upcoming 2016 touring production of JOSEPH AND
THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, starring X FACTOR winner
Joe McElderry, at the King’s Theatre Glasgow from Tuesday 10 until Saturday
14 May 2016. Full cast to be announced. Full info and tour dates on www.josephthemusical.com
Lucy Kay scored
her first number one album in 2014, after her stunning debut album ‘Fantasia’
shot straight to the top of the Classical Album Chart. The singer, originally
from Leicestershire, shot to fame and captured the country’s hearts as runner
up on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014.
Lucy studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
with tuition from renowned coloratura-lyric soprano Judith Howarth. During her
studies in Glasgow, Lucy appeared in scenes from several operas including Don
Giovanni, The Turn of the Screw, The Magic Flute, Hansel and Gretel and Alcina.
Following her success on Britain’s Got
Talent, Lucy also recorded the song ‘Flower of Scotland’ with the band of
Her Majesty’s Royal Marines to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Royal
Navy and was a special guest on Andrea Bocelli’s 2014 tour.
Previously
announced as Joseph, Joe McElderry was just 18 when won the
sixth series of ‘The X Factor’ having been mentored by Girls Aloud star Cheryl
Fernandez-Versini and beating off fierce competition from Olly Murs and Stacey
Solomon. Joe then soared to number one on the UK
Singles Charts with his rendition of Miley Cyrus’s The Climb and
his debut album Wide Awake went straight in at number 3 on the
UK Albums Chart. He has since gone on to have two more top ten albums, and he
became the first X Factor star to release four albums, with a fifth in the
making.
Having garnered sensational
reviews and standing ovations at every performance since its inception almost
35 years ago, Bill Kenwright’s ‘amazing’,
‘superb’, ‘wonderful’ and ‘brilliant’ production of
this sparkling family musical has now sold an estimated 20 million tickets.
This vibrant and exciting retelling of the biblical
story about Joseph, his eleven brothers and the coat of many colours sings out
to young and old alike with a score which is crammed wall to wall with hits,
including Jacob and Sons, Close Every Door and Any
Dream Will Do.
