X Factor winner Joe McElderry is set to star in the upcoming production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Hall for Cornwall.

The show is due to run from May 16 to 20, and will also star Britain's Got Talent's Lucy Kay as the narrator.

Joe's title-role debut in last year's production of Joseph was his first major theatrical appearance, and his performance was met with five star reviews.

Joining them is Benjamin James-Ellis, who was a semi-finalist on the hit TV show Any Dream Will Do.

The cast is completed by Henry Metcalfe, Sallie-Beth Lawless, Matt Jolly, Darren Charles, Lloyd Green, Matthew McCabe, George Knapper, Michael Lapham, Michael Colbourne, Lewis Asquith, Richard J Hunt, Amana Jones, Will Breckin, Kevin Grogan and Gemma Pipe.

Having garnered sensational reviews and standing ovations at every performance since its inception over 36 years ago, Bill Kenwright’s ‘amazing’, ‘superb’, ‘wonderful’ and ‘brilliant’ production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 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.
