Chris Moyles .....

[Ann]

Just read he has been cast as Herod in Jesus Christ Superstar new show. I wasn't even aware that he could sing!

From the JC Superstar website :
BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast Show host Chris Moyles will make his major stage debut
 as ‘King Herod’, in what is set to be one of the biggest and most impressive arena tours to 
hit the UK.

That was reported a few weeks ago, we will have to wait and see. You would never have thought that the bumbling Frank Spencer would make a fantastic Phanthom

Unless you'd seen Michael Crawford in any other role, at which point you'd have had no doubt at all...

Like me with the Frank Spencer thread i think we all know what you meant firewatch

[firewatch]

CM has a reasonable voice - certainly good enough to carry of the role he is taking.

Herod only has one 'song' doesn't he?

I love Chris Moyles! Tim Minchin too! I would love to see them but I can't stand JCS :| I got dragged to see it when I was wee and seeing my mum and auntie screeching along has put me right off! Lol!!

Yes Craft, and it's the type of song that could easily be spoken. As someone else said, it's a comedic role rather than one that requires a great singing voice.

I wouldn't say Josh Mostel has the greatest voice - but he's entertaining.
