It's been announced that The West End production of Joseph, due to come to Chesterfield in May, is already proving popular - and that there is now local interest in the production too.

Tickets are selling fast, with over 30% of the tickets already sold. The show will be the first large scale musical production to come to the town and will be staged at the Winding Wheel.

Councillor Nick Stringer, Executive Member for Leisure, Culture and Tourism said: "We've been delighted with the response to tickets sales so far and, with another three months to go, we hope that we'll sell out before the first show.

"We've also had confirmation that 56 students from the Stagecoach Theatre Arts in Sheffield and Chesterfield make up the two choirs, with rehearsals both in Sheffield and at Parkside School in Chesterfield, so there will be local children being given the opportunity to take part in this fantastic production."

Joseph will be performed at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield from 1st - 5th May 2012 - so book your tickets now and be part of the magic!
