BEN PAGE: I auditioned at Drayton’s Generals back in December, and I sang my two songs. And after that, they asked what shows I was interested in? Alex said, “Well, what about Joseph? Oh, sure. I love Joseph. I think I got the call the next week.

Can you tell us about rehearsals?

BEN PAGE: Lots of music, and then followed by – immediately – choreography, and staging all of the numbers that we just learned. 

When you walk in the first day, there's all of these props, because Joseph is a show that goes through tons and tons of different styles. And first day you’re wondering, just like, what is that one going to use for? And we’re in Act II and I’m like, I don’t know what that is. But we’ll find out soon.	Ben Page continues speaking to the camera.

What’s your favourite part of this production?	
[AUDIO CONTINUES]

BEN PAGE: Building all these small little bits through songs, because there’s so many characters in the cast, and everyone’s a phenomenal actor, and you can watch and see the development of a little bit more side story.	Ben Page continues speaking to the camera.
	
	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
Why should people see this show?	
[AUDIO CONTINUES]

BEN PAGE: Joseph is a fun musical. If you like country music, there’s a country song. If you like go-go dancing, there’s go-go dancing. If you like, a classic Andrew Lloyd Webber power ballad, it’s got that. 

It’s hilarious. It’s an old story. It’s one that’s enduring. It’s worth seeing.	Ben Page continues speaking to the camera.
