Stage presence, stamina.

star quality

be able to sell a song

Lee and maybe *whispers so no lee ladies hear Ben*

BEN is the One! and he is Fresh to West End Theatre and has all the talents needed in abundance!

sorry what's that you say?? speak up i can't hear you

I heard that telly.

Lee of course.

oops

lee

can i add a leading man should be sexy & charming, with a voice like chocolate.

I've got to fly the flag for Lewis!!

Lee then

Of those left - only Lee.

Pepsi

Is that chocolate like all the bars that were recalled? - that is so 90's - we want and need someone FRESH to THEATRE in the WEST END who has a complete new Attitude - BEN

Oh, well then...Lee

I have a feeling this is going to go along the same lines as the 'favourite Joseph' thread

Yes sadly!

Voice (Lee or Keith)

Acting ability (Lee, Ben or Lewis)

Energy (Lee, Ben or possibly Keith)

Dedication, determination. (Lee)

Visually he should have the good looks and self assurance to make his brothers jealous, and the innocent sexiness to make Pharoh's wife want to drag him to bed. (Lee, Ben and possibly Lewis)

The ability to act as a young man, and also the part of a mature man with responsibility. (Lee and possibly Ben)

The charisma that focuses the audience attention on him when he's on stage. ( Lee or Ben)

Jeanie,

In this category all FOUR should be included, they have all worked hard and are dedicated and determined to succeed - all have come through different avenues in their development which not everyone knows about.

Wasn't it Chris B, Zoe said he had a voice like chocolate

Well, over in the Lee thread.......

3 maybe - but i would associate the word dedication with keith, as he doesn't make any effort to sing in the group numbers. if they are dedicated, they put their all into each performance.

I couldn't agree more.

The other thread about who could play Joseph....the same answer....all four of them would be fantastic.

They have to learn, routine and perform a song with about 2 days rehearsal, and its on camera, where you can see the whites of their eyes and see if they mean it or not.

They'll have a good few weeks of rehearsals and on stage, you can't see anywhere near as closely as you can on camera, and the sound isn't so clean.

Apologies - should have explained my choosing Lee over the others.

I agree that they are all dedicated and determined - but Lewis, Ben and Keith are very young and have not yet had the opportunity to experience the total hard, and at times totally demoralising slog that the theatre demands.

The fact that Lee has played understudy speaks volumes about his dedication to the job. I'm not totally sure how the production he was in allocated their understudy roles, and whether he took on another role in the meantime, but in many productions, the understudy is just sitting alone in the dressing room for three hours a night, waiting for that elusive call. It takes an enormous strength of spirit to be able to turn up every night in the hope that you might get your chance to prove yourself, only to be unseen backstage.

I may be totally wrong - but if the other three were given understudy roles, I think Lewis would feel totally demoralised, Ben would probably go and find something better to do, and Keith would probably not be able to cope with the fact that he wasn't the chosen one. As I say, I may be totally misreading the boys - and apologies for that - but to my mind - Lee has proved he has dedication and determination - the others, as yet, have a long way to go to catch up with him.
