Just seen the new website - new pictures are great

just look at the smile on his face: brilliant, brilliant, brilliant

Henry - is that the 'Tommy' inspired era, or earlier? Think the hair is more suited to that imo!

And if the handmaidens can be any age they like, (22, thanks! ) Virtual Joseph should be able to be creative with his persona too!!

I think theTommy inspired era! Seamus could do the nights I'm off!!

Truly inspired Henry!!! lol - Seamus would be perfect!

Why didn't I think of that? Could be quite a tour!

Ooooh cheers flower They got the same hairdresser innit!! Flattered you though of Craigs little bro though - I bet Gav is too haha! (Craigs real brother) But he hasn't got the hair like Craig cos he's too busy keeping people fit to bother with the highlights and the spray tans lol. Twingle I like Ben's site The pics of Ben in the suit are the best ones for me. He looks the young professional and mighty fine. And I can cope with a hip jiggle or two from Ben, as he definitely danced the best out of all the Joes imo. Thanks for letting me know the pics were up and see you soon Angel x

As I wasn't posting here in the early days ( ), I had a nostalgic peep at the early pages... Henry, you were explaing the style Craig had to find for some of the elements of TITM...

quote: "He has to think 'Freddy Merury' and use bigger theatrical gestures, as anything below chest level is pathetic or apologetic. Show some true passion and emotion and sing to win!"

And indeed he did - I think he won a lot of fans that night - I'll bet that's why the tickets are selling so well.

But it got me thinking about the Virtual Joseph as well - perhaps we could have a Freddy Mercury/Queen' tribute phase (are you up to strutting your stuff? )

It could be a 'special' night of Stadium Rock Joseph. I'm basing my ideas on the Live Aid performance, of course!!

For those of you living south of the border, like myself, thought you would like to know that tomorrow, I will be 400+ miles closer to McJoseph than I am today!!

We're heading to the fair country - birthplace of Mobile McJospeh.!!

Should also add that we will be on the opposite coastline, but will wish Craig well in his preparation for the shows.

p.s. Now Henry's going to come online and tell me that Craig's down in London!

Hi Stashy, No your ok for a couple of days, as he goes down there on Tuesday. Remember your wellies and you simmet when you pack your case!

Classic Adidas Trainers - check
Yellow vest 2 sizes too small - Check
Tight white strides with red stripe down outsde leg - Check
Stick-on moustache - check
Grecian 2000 - check
OK, I'm ready to ROCK!.............

Dont' tell me it's raining in Scotland! NEVER! Its always good to be back home... dreich mornings and a nip in the air. But down on the beach looking over the mountains as far as the eye can see - bliss

This virtual tour is turning out to be a hum dinger. I'm still keeping my preparation schedule... long way to go!!! But who's going to do Brian May... that hair...

Good luck to Craig when he's down in London. I'm sure he'll get a real buzz from being in the around the cast of the West End Joseph. Enjoy every minute - all those weeks on ADWD are coming to fruition. Good luck!

*digs around for Stevie Nicks outfits*

Stevie Nicks eh? Sounds good to me!

The website as new pictures on it, Craig in his coat etc


ps Henry who is Stevie Nicks

Foxy blonde in Fleetwood Mac

\o/ Craigs site is fantabulous now !!! They've cracked it.

Hello btw, been busy with real life lately so haven't been in, and this is a flying visit too! Just had to congratulate Creative Ideas. They've re-worded the front page write-up. Just one teeny weeny full stop there all on its own lol but pah! It reads much, much better. The new photos of Craig as 'Joseph' is presenting the perfect image the devoted fans of the Mobile one wanted. They've even added the crucial P in 'prompting' Who says crusading doesn't make things happen? It does. Woo!!! Very happy hobbit indeed I am now

Craig looks fantastic - beautiful, mega colourful photos and such an appealing expression on his face in the main pic. The site represents exactly what 'Joseph' is about - its a wonderful show, full of fantastic songs we have grown up with and love so much. Its a show that will thrill the whole family - and my niece will be over the moon to see these ! I am. Thanks to Creative Ideas - you have worked so hard to get this right, and by jove, you gone and done it. Well done guys \o/ Quality stuff.

PS: Tour tickets for BATH went on sale this morning, so anyone in the vicinity have a night out and enjoy yourselves. Craig's going to make sure you do !

Hello Craig World. Just dropping by, as I do occasionally, to catch up with Craig's news and to wish him well. I've got myself a ticket for Bromley next month and can't wait to see your boy strut his stuff. It's gonna be great.

Hope you're all doing OK and managing to contain your excitement - especially you, trixiehobbit !!!

Who, alas, I do not resemble.

You get the feeling I am excited Kali ?
Can't help it - he's the Joseph I wanted to see all along and it's one step closer every day ! yay.

I have to wait til October though, so Antony is still howling flipping Patience in me ear lol Never mind, good things come to them that wait don't they See you in the KJ nest and thank you for popping in to cheer Craig on xx

Big warm hellos to all craigettes Back from my hols and I've missed you

I've started to plow my way through some of the stuff I've missed and OMG I can't believe what has been happening - well over 1000 posts , a brief flirtation with becoming craggies, ginger bread josephs to go with the prunglies, ace photos (thanks Henry - looks like it was a great night) , a wonderful new web site and NEWS NEWS NEWS.

I can't stop smiling and must admit I had a tear in my eye when I finally saw the news in black and white on BKs site I am just so blooming pleased for 'our' boy.

Big hugs to all. I'm off to investigate tickets for the edinburgh shows. No guessing what the family pre christmas treat is going to be this year

Woohoo! You're back bigsy
And yes its been a bit busy here! The new website is just fabulous isn't it? We got the right image for him now.

Craig (and the other Joes) were at the opening night of Joseph last night. Craig was supposed to be kipping round at Lees. Wonder if he did.


There's an article here with an little interview with Craig - while he was at the show. He is uber nervous now he's seen the show! Adrenalin is the drug of choice for some and shouldn't be feared

We know Bill will coax the braveheart out of him by the time opening night comes. I hear Bill saying, after the Black & White performance, "I can teach anyone to be big and bold......but I can't teach heart. And the reason I support you is that you have the biggest heart of anyone in this company." Big statement from Bill and something for Craig to remember - its on the inside and thats where his strength lies. He'll be raring to go in four weeks time

I completely and utterly love Bill Kenwright and don't care who knows it. There, I've said it. Possibly not for the first time.

Craig is passionate about music and has shown that he's not only a fast learner but also a hard worker. He's going to be amazing in his own right.

Hiya jc

You are so right. Can we start a Bill Kenwright fan club? What a man to have kick started so many careers in the world of MT. Lee Mead was one of his in 2004 when he started touring with Joseph (and Lee was a cabaret singer at the beginning of his career too!) so, although BK didn't 'spot' him for the lead, it just shows what a magnificent training ground the tour is Look at Lee now. Just phenomenal. His lyrical interpretation is astounding. So professional and dedicated, and that's the qualities Bill looks for. Craigs got it, right attitude and the music in his heart. He can really make you 'feel' can't he. Actually, I must look at the Josh Groban thing again when Josh comments 'he really feels the lyrics, you can hear it' or words to that effect. Don't take that as gospel though til I've checked ! Sure it was Craig he was talking about.

Josh says about Craig "Mmm R & B licks in there. I can tell just by looking at him he is acting the song, he is living it in his head" Well I was almost right lol

He was referring to Craig when he commented on an R'n'B thing going on.
