AUDIENCES never seem to tire of seeing the family musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Joseph gets another outing from April 26 to May 8 at the Opera House, Manchester.

This time 20-year-old Andrew Derbyshire, one of the runners-up in ITV's Pop Idol and lead performer in Queen's mega-hit musical We Will Rock You, takes the title role.

The show toured the UK for 12 years from 1979 to 1991 and in 1997 the musical hit the road again.

The production has gone into The Guinness Book of Records as the longest running touring stage musical of all time.

This new production's score includes Close Ev'ry Door to Me; One More Angel and Any Dream Will Do.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is directed by Bill Kenwright and received standing ovations at every performance at the New London Theatre in London's West End.
