When Joseph Met Maria

[Abigail]

Monday 24th December on BBC 1 London from 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Graham Norton presents a musical spectacular teaming the stars of the BBC's West End talent searches. In 2006, Andrew Lloyd Webber set out to solve a problem like Maria, in a bid to find a leading lady for his revival of The Sound of Music; earlier this year, he went looking for a young man deserving of Joseph's Technicolor Dreamcoat. Connie Fisher and Lee Mead were the stars he found - or rather made - and now, the pair come together in this entertainment extravaganza. Connie and Lee will be joined by contestants from How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? and Any Dream Will Do, as well as Denise Van Outen (currently appearing in Rent and a one-time judge of the Josephs) and John Barrowman (who has recently released his own album and was a judge on both shows). As well as the performances, the show goes behind the scenes to see what each of the stars has been getting up to since they won

This looks good but it will be interesting to see how Denise and Lee act in public as they are supposed to be an item now.

A guy in my office went to see Joeseph in Edinburgh on Tuesday night. Craig Chalmers was playing Joeseph and Keith is the narrator. The guy I work with said it was okay but it was better with Philip Schofield in it.

Denise Van Outen has been dating Any Dream Will Do winner Lee Mead for the last month.

Mead admitted flirting with the TV presenter when she appeared as a judge on the hit BBC talent show, but both were involved with other people at the time.

However, he split with Kerry Stammers in October after three years and Van Outen broke up with Teachers actor James Lance in September.

A friend said: “There was a real spark on the show. They liked each other but neither was available.

“After they finished filming in June they lost touch for a while. But after Lee split up with his girlfriend he set his sights on Denise."

The source added: "He called her and asked her out for dinner. It went really well. It’s pretty serious considering it’s only been going on for four weeks.”

Mead is currently is starring in a West End production of Joseph And The Technicolour Dreamcoat while Van Outen is appearing in Rent.

I know, I'm so upset. They don't go together well, she's a bit domineering.

I know, I know, you want him to be with his true love too.. = me :D. ;)

But erm yeah, it does seem a bit weird them together. Good luck to them though :p.

I'm really looking forward to the Joseph and Maria thing! Should be awesome!!!

[JustJodi]

I had no idea what you guys were talking about, I thought at first u meant Connie and Lee were dating, after I went down further I realized you were talking about Denise and Lee,,, whats so wrong about them dating ??:hmm: Its only been 4 weeks,, its early days.:searchme:
If Lee had been dating Connie would that be bad ???:p

[Abbie]

[CrazyLea]

How come all the Josephs and Marias aren't there??

[CrazyLea]

Mehhh parents turned over for Corrie now :(. Anyone know whether this will be repeated?

I did say that Corrie would be repeated and they were like WAH WAH WAH. Then I said not much is happening in Corrie this Christmas anyway. Then they ranted at Eastenders and it turned into an argument :p. Ah parents - who needs them :p.

[JustJodi]

wow what a show,,, I did not realize how old Denise van Outten was,,
I loved seeing the Joesphs again especially Daniel..
I had goose bumps watching Lee and Connie do that song from Phantom of the Opera,, whoooo.....Loved it when Lord Webber got on the piano and did WHITE CHRISTMAS with all the Maria's and Joesphs :D
I am sure most of it will be up on YOU TUBE later on :cheer:
