DREAM ROLES: Children at Stuart Stage School have performed with X Factor singer Joe McElderry.

Twenty years later, 60 students have appeared in ‘Joseph’ at the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford, alongside X Factor winner Joe McElderry who plays Joseph.

Spokesman for the Stuart Stage School, Dave Lake, said: “This is an amazing achievement for everyone.

“We have been involved in ‘Joseph’ around 35 times and over the years have given hundreds of our students the opportunity to be involved in the professional theatre, creating memories for them that will last a lifetime.”
