Chart-topping singer Alexandra Burke, who has carved out a career as a stage star, has been picked to play the Narrator in the musical Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Her casting marks her London Palladium debut. But more significantly, it is the first time a black performer has taken on the role: a sort of master of ceremonies, guiding us through the Old Testament tale that was turned into an enjoyable romp back in the 1960s by a youthful Andrew Lloyd Webber (only 19) and Tim Rice (just 23).
Burke, 32, has never seen the show, but knows the music well. I m going to bring a soulful vibe to it, and just be me, she said during a Zoom call this week.

Sue Pritchard Loving tributes have been paid to a woman who worked tirelessly to bring the arts to Dorchester. Sue Pritchard, the first paid director of Dorchester Arts Centre, has died at home in Oxford aged 71. Until the mid 1980s, professional arts activity in Dorchester consisted of a programme of classical chamber concerts in Dorset County Museum and little else. Unlike most towns and cities across the UK, Dorchester had no arts centre building or coordinated programme of events and exhibitions. Sue was determined to make sure Dorchester had a substantial arts offering. Her husband Alan said: Sue s generous vision, tenacity and entrepreneurial vigour served the citizens of Dorchester and Dorset very well and she has earned their long-standing gratitude.
