Val4Gareth Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 How pathetic is that. They're certainly doing themselves more damage than they're doing Gareth. Probably a couple of 16 years olds who are jealous. thanks for the link to the article Heather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 What a shame for the decent people of Bradford to have people like that "representing" them. I think it's safe to say that they aren't happy people. Gareth on the other hand ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khelda Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thanks for the links Heather, nice to know they mention it in Germany and Holland too. In Germany they are saying that Gareth is very happy to have got the role of Joseph and that Joseph is the reason he started singing when young. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sarah from Superbreak seems to think this a good move for Gareth http://short.superbreak.com/ (scroll down a little): Who would have thought that Gareth Gates would go from the stammering teen we saw on Pop Idol all those years ago to a fully fledged West End Star? This week’s news that Gareth is going to be the newest Joseph in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat has me absolutely shaking with glee. As a teenybopper in the early 1990s, I actually went to see then-heartthrob Jason Donavon play Joseph in the musical’s first ever West End premiere and the memory is permanently etched on my brain. From the soaring notes of “Any Dream Will Do” to the depths of despair conjured up by “Close Every Door”, it was one of my first experiences with musical theatre and I’ll always be grateful to my mother for taking me - thanks mum! Gareth’s definitely got large boots to fill, as Jason was just the first in a long line of top class entertainers to portray the biblical character. Past Josephs include This Morning’s Philip Schofield, Donny Osmond (who played the role from 1993 to 1997), Ian Watkins - better known as H from Steps - and Boyzone’s Stephen Gately. And let’s not forget the wonderful Lee Mead, winner of last year’s BBC talent competition Any Dream Will Do, from whom Gareth takes over. But I for one think he’s up to the challenge. In addition to his effortless boyish charm and endearing demeanour, he seems to have a real passion for the role - as well as a history of playing Joseph outside the West End. Following the announcement, he said: “Joseph is something I have wanted to do since I was a kid - the first time I was on stage [at school] I was Joseph, so for me to be here now on the West End stage as Joseph is the most amazing feeling in the world.” Gareth will be taking to the stage at the Adelphi Theatre in his Technicolor dreamcoat in February 2009. But if you can’t wait until then, or you’re just looking for theatre break this Christmas, go see him play Prince Charming in Cinderella at London’s New Wimbledon Theatre from December 5th. If you look closely, you might see me in the front row! Yes big boots to fill, but Gareth takes size 10's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Size 11 actually, lol :laugh: :tongue: But seriously, what a great write up, and how lovely of her to comment on Cinderella too. I am sure she will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Size 11 actually, lol :laugh: :tongue: That's what I thought Khelda, they don't come much bigger than Gareth's boots :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
