X Factor’s Amelia Lily to Join Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat
Amelia Lily is set to bring yet more X Factor to the Winding Wheel in this year’s production of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat as she steps into the role of Narrator alongside fellow X Factor finalist Lloyd Daniels, who plays Joseph.
Amelia, who was mentored by former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland, finished third on The X Factor 2011, and then went on to have chart success with her debut single You Bring Me Joy, which got to number two.
No stranger to the bright lights, the star was also the support act for Girls Aloud’s farewell tour in 2013, and for Olly Murs at the INTRO Festival.
Coming to Chesterfield in April, the colourful retelling of the biblical story about Joseph, his eleven brothers and the coat of many colours stars will once again star Lloyd Daniels as Joseph.
Lloyd became the X Factor’s youngest contestant in 2009 and got to the final five out of 250,000 contestants to perform in front of 10 million TV viewers. Since then he has performed to sold-out arenas on a 56 date X Factor tour and released his popular single Suburbian Girl.
The musical also sees the welcome return of Matt Lapinskas who will be donning his Elvis outfit once more to reprise the role of the Pharaoh. Best known for playing Anthony Moon in BBC EastEnders, Matt was also runner up in the penultimate series of Dancing on Ice. He joined the Joseph cast in 2014 for the UK, making his first musical theatre role.
Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat will be at Chesterfield’s Winding Wheel from Tuesday 14 to Sunday 19 April 2015. Tickets can be booked via the Chesterfield Theatres Box Office by calling 01246 345 222 or visiting chesterfieldtheatres.co.uk.
