It has been confirmed that the new Joseph is Gareth

He takes over on February 9th so I assume the understudy Ricky Rojas will be taking the lead until then!

Just read the news on Gareth's site. This is fantastic. He'll make a great Joseph.

Time to start saving the pennies again I think

I am really happy Gareth has taken over. It's nice to see him getting another chance at fame. I remember watching a documentary about him and thinking he was a total sweetheart.

Well done Gareth!

I'm delighted with Gareth getting the part.
Well done to him.
I feel today for the Lee Mead fans too, because it must be a sad day for them seeing the coat being handed over.

Who is this Ricky guy? Has he stepped in for Lee recently?

Ricky is the official understudy so yes, he has stepped into the role before

Gareth is going to be on Loose Women on Mon 1st Dec, talking to Emma Bunton and the other Loose Women about the role in Joseph among other things

I was dissapointed by the choice of the new Joseph (Gareth Gates). I had heard rumors for ages that it was going to be different people but fianally it has been revealed. I personally think that Keith Jack should have taken over, he's ready to do it and I think he eould make a perfect Jospeh (not that I'm bias in anyway at all) I'm sure Gareth will do really well as Jospeh and he will have the time of his life and I hope Lee has fun doing what he is going to do next.

Keith seems to be working hard at making a career away from Joseph and think its right that they are not using any of the guys from the show.

Congrats to Gareth, who I'm sure will do a great job!

I doubt Keith would have taken the role, even if it had been offered to him. He's forging his own career path and doing well.

I look forward to hearing about Lee's next venture - I suspect we could well be witnessing the birth of a major star!

Congrats from me too to Gareth for taking over the role of Joseph. I know he will be wonderful in the part and I look forward to being able to see him in the show. I think this was a great choice. Also congrats to Gareth and his wife Suzanne on their news that they will be parents in 2009. It certainly is going to be a busy and wonderful year for Mr Gates. Thoroughly deserved.

Love Siouxsie


PS Best wishes to Lee for the future too. I won't lie and say I am a huge Lee fan but I know that he would be fantastic in the role of Jesus in Jesus Christ superstar and if the rumours are true, this would suit him so well as I think he could really bring his strong acting skills into play and also would be very dramatic which I think is a major strength of his.
