In a series that is two years old--the "Joseph" revival closes May 30
and the winner left months ago. I suspect that BBCA picked this up
mostly because Capt. Jack is on the panel of judges and they can
crossplug "Torchwood."
This is the second of three runs for the West End casting call
format--"How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" found a lead for
"Sound of Music" in 2006 and "I'd Do Anything" found a Nancy for
"Oliver!" last year. Norton and Lloyd Webber's have been the common
bonds in all three series, with Barrowman and Denise Van Outen serving
as judges for the last two series. The Beeb seems to have not
announced if they're doing a 2009 series, although I assume that's
Lloyd Webber's call.
