Any Dream Will do! The search for the next Joseph

OK for those of you that don't know me I am a big Reality TV buff everything from Groomer has it to ANTM and by far my favorite Project Runway!

But I was a little downed when Reality TV Hit Broadway!
Ok Needless to say I despised Your the one that I want a show aimed at finding a new Danny Zucho and Sandra Dee.

I was excited to see "Legally Blond on MTV what a better way to introduce people that woulden't ordinarily like Showtunes to Broadway! But then there was the Search for the next Elle Woods! Now I love Seth Rudetsky and am a big fan and idolize him but the parts of the show not involving him irked me a little. Hayley Duff looked and acted as if her career was coming to an end and well showed less than enthusiasm in announcing the winner.

But getting to the point I was watching BBC America when I ran upon Any Dream Will do The Search for the next Joseph! I sat back in awe this was reality theater television I could sink my teeth into. First Graham Norton is the host an have been a big fan of his for many years. Of course Sir Andrew LLoyed Webber took a much more active role in the show than I would have ever thought. The guest Judges were constructive and edgy like american Idol meets ANTM. and I feared the show would consist of hours of hours of "Joseph" music being sung by less than talented men. Overall it was wonderful and am mad I ran into it late but I am watching re-runs. And the Finally of the show is every Theater Geeks Dream! Its close every door and a de-coating ceremony followed by the contestants singing Poor Poor Joseph! and The Loser sings the final few bars! I love it! the jackets are cute and I love the LOGO! I am looking for the new show "I'll do Anything" and as you guessed it involves Oliver!.
