Joe McElderry hoping for a West End role

X Factor winner Joe McElderry has admitted that he would love to win a role in a musical. The Geordie lad revealed that he has always admired West End stars.

McElderry said that he would love to work with the theatre impresario Andrew Lloyd Webber.

He told Now magazine: "If the offer was there [from Webber] I certainly wouldn't turn it down, I'll tell you that.

"There's nothing wrong with musical theatre. Some of the biggest singers in the world are there."

Joe is currently taking part in The X Factor live tour with his fellow contestants.

He recently admitted that he has experienced a number of problems with the arena tour.

The 18-year-old revealed that the had suffered from microphone problems, fallen down a set of stairs and found himself stuck off stage behind a screen.

Speaking to The Sun, McElderry said: "On the first night my microphone didn't work and I stood there in front of 12,000 people with no sound. I just thought my earphones weren't working.

"Then I went off stage, came back on, fell on the stairs and cut my leg. Then the screen didn't open. I am a bit clumsy."

    Where do you get all your stories from. Joe has probably made a comment in passing that he wouldn't mind trying a west end role but I am sure he is far too busy at the moment and will be when he records his first album to even consider this. As far as his fans are concerned this cannot happen yet. We are all desperately awaiting this album and I am sure nothing would stop him from doing this and promoting it. Find someone else to talk about. And why do you have to keep bringing up his tour mishaps. It has happened once on the opening night and if you care to take a look at some of the Vt's of the tour you will see how professional and brilliant he really is. Say something positive about him for a change.
