Birthday: 14th July
Occupation: Singer/Actor
Why should you
be Joseph?
I feel I should be Joseph as this is something I
truly want. I am passionate about this character and
like many people, I have a part of my youth
connected with the show. This was a touring
production, and all I can remember is how involved I
was with watching the show. I also believe I can
give the public and the show the Joseph they know
and love but with a new, fresh, individual stamp.
Career
highlight so far?
My career highlight so far would have to be without
doubt the moment when I had the phone call for my
first job. Until this point I never knew if I was
going to be good enough to work professionally, it
was a great feeling. The job was as a singer/dancer
on a cruise ferry, and it was my first break.
Dream role?
Other than Joseph, I would like to play Chris in
'Miss Saigon'. I think it's an all round great
leading role for a man. A great story, strong
challenging songs and beautiful music. To play the
Phantom would also be amazing.
Hobbies?
Cooking, playing football and various sports. I love
going to the cinema and eating out with friends and
family too.
Previous
Experience
Lee attended the Whitehall Performing Arts College
where he left, of his own accord, before graduating.
His first job was 5
years ago on a cruise ship where he sang and danced.
His first professional
job was in the Joseph touring production (Pharaoh
and Brother Levi) where he was doing 12 shows a
week. He did get the chance to perform in the West
End version to fill in for the Pharoah twice out of
700 shows.
Since then he has
performed professionally in 'Phantom of the Opera'
(understudy Raoul), 'Tommy' (understudy) and 'Miss
Saigon' ((understudy for Chris).
He has toured with
'Abigail’s Party' and had a small part in the BBC
drama Murder in Mind. He’s also danced in Geri
Halliwell’s 'It’s Raining Men' video.
