Description

Mark Phillips reports on Phillip Schofield’s West End debut as Joseph in the hit show, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. Children’s television presenter Schofield received standing ovations - a surprise, as he freely admits he has never sung in public before. Schofield was standing in for Jason Donovan, who was having a break from the show. Includes comment from the show’s composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber; Schofield’s co-presenter Sarah Greene; Sun newspaper showbusiness correspondent, Piers Morgan; Schofield himself; and appreciative, singing theatre-goers.
