Highcliffe Charity Players return after their incredibly sucessful pantomime with the delightful musical Mack and Mabel. The tumultuous relationship between Hollywood director Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand, who became one of his biggest stars comes to life on stage. In a series of flashbacks, Mack relates the glory days of Keystone Studios from 1911, when he discovered Mabel and cast her in dozens of his early "two-reelers", through his invention of The Bathing Beauties and the Keystone Cops.

When producer/director Bill Kenwright brings his renowned production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT to Bournemouth, audiences will undoubtedly recognize the young man in the leading role...

KEITH JACK was one of the most popular finalists in the hit BBC series Any Dream Will Do. Watched by millions every Saturday night, the show was produced to find a leading man for Andrew Lloyd Webber's new West End production, and Keith, chosen from tens of thousands of wannabees, charmed audiences week after week with his vocal talents, finally coming in a close second. He went on to play the Narrator in the UK tour of Joseph and now returns for the 2010 tour in the lead role.

Having enjoyed sensational reviews, Bill Kenwright's 'AMAZING', 'SUPERB', 'WONDERFUL' and 'BRILLIANT' production of TIM RICE and ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER's sparkling family musical continues to enjoy huge success across the country with standing ovations at every performance.

This colourful retelling of the biblical story about Joseph, his eleven brothers and the coat of many colours sings out to young and old alike with a score which is wall to wall hits - including Close Every Door and Any Dream Will Do.

Bill Kenwright, one of the most successful and prolific producers in British theatre today, (whose current hit West End shows include the musicals Blood Brothers and Cabaret and acclaimed drama The Letter), was on the expert panel of judges alongside Andrew Lloyd Webber, Denise Van Outen and John Barrowman and is delighted that Keith is taking on the leading role.
