Joe, you happy little prankster, this time no fooling! When you were doing Strictly someone wrote in to KZbin that you should be heading for the West End. Being the troll that I am I replied that Joe is talented, but no, not that much. Hmm. Well, son, I'm allowed to be wrong once in a while, ain't I? (Digression: when you made your announcement video in front of your wardrobe, all your tiny tee shirts hanging in a row, I thought, "Mine will be the smallest one, you'll be sure to know.") I can see why your audition was a success, my animated star of the stage. Love you as always.

[@amelieg246]

As someone who has spent a LOT of money on theatre training and can only wish for this kind of opportunity, I would like to wish you luck. I know you're getting very mixed responses from this announcement, but it seems to me like you do genuinely have the talent and this isn't just another "we've cast someone famous to bring in audiences", I mean, Waitress doesn't need a celebrity name for that anyway. So, break a leg Joe, this is going to be the experience of a lifetime.

[@JoHarris68]

Unfortunately it does, went last week and it was more than half empty. It's only a 1500 seater and probably 500 seats sold.

[@hannab129]

@@JoHarris68 when I was there in early June (west end) it seemed to nearly have been sold out. Though I'm not sure. I know it has had a hard time getting enough people... I think it's a very good show though! I just think it's a little... Too much celebrity casting 😬 I honestly don't care if there is a celebrity on the stage, or a musical theatre actor/actress... But I'd rather have a trained musical theatre actor/actress than a mediocre, untrained 'celebrity' (not saying they are/were all bad. I just think some people are just not suited for the role... And especially then, it just seems to be casted because they are famous...)

[@El1989_]

It is really struggling unfortunately, which is really quite sad!

[@solentsquared6719]

If having someone famous doing the show is just to bring in audiences, so be it. It supports shows to have more people paying to see them so the shows can go on longer.

[@goodjobeli]

West End seems a lot more packed than Broadway right now, probably because its newer but they did start the run off with a stunt cast (Kat Mcphee as Jenna). But the broadway run is really failing rn (thats why its closing on Jan 5th...) so maybe they don't want that with the West End version idk.

[@kelseyroundill8235]

Katie Ford 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Even stunt cast producers aren’t so stupid as to give an untrained inexperienced social media star a contract without an audition

[@marvellousaunt]

Katie Ford the point is he got this opportunity because he’s a name. People with musical theatre degrees and experience don’t even get seen for an audition. When they do there’s countless callbacks. Joe did one audition & OP claims if wasn’t ‘handed to him’ & others claiming that he went through the same audition process as anyone else. It’s laughable. Yes he had to audition but he got this opportunity because of who he is, which he admits himself yet the scores of naive fans seem unable to grasp 🙄

[@greggerysaurus367]

People need to stop focusing on the idea that Joe and others like him only get these roles because they are famous. Sure, their pull in media is something that is definitely considered and it also means that they would get contacted, but they still audition. They audition, and they work extremely hard. And anyone who knows Joe's channel and content knows that he rarely ever half asses anything, I mean just look at him doing Strictly Ballroom, he put his all into that experience. You know that he would have worked so hard on that audition, and he is really bursting with talent that could be tapped into via the West End. So good on you Joe, you're turning all of your hard work that you put into your channel on KZbin into really incredible opportunities to excel and stretch yourself beyond where you were before, which is what everyone should strive to do. Congratulations on the role, you're going to do so incredibly well, and this means that we now have 3 KZbin and social media stars/influencers on the same show in two different continents who all got there through their talent.

[@hannab129]

To be honest though... Most of the 'celebrities' DON'T have to audition to be in a show. E. G. Katherine McPhee. She said it herself, that she was asked to do it. I mean, she was amazing! I saw her in the show, and I loved her take on it. But I do understand the criticism... That said, I thought Joe was pretty good in his audition! He really looked, acted and sounded the part! :) excited to see him, especially with Laura together.

[@sofiab36]

auntygeek my comment had nothing to do with being rich white or male . Unless rich means having contacts in the industry already. Coleen ballinger ( woman) and Todrick hall ( black ) are doing the same exact thing for the same exact reason which does not apply to normal people. The creative industry is beast of its own it is not a normal career , it's a field that is saturated , where you are supposed to be available for auditions at any moment whilst having a side job , where you working hard does not mean you are going to get the gig because you being hired as more to do with the casting director's already shaped idea of what they want which no one can predict nor can prepare for . Where your own personality makes a difference. His advantage , as well as Coleen' and todrick's ,is being a sure source of income in a business . Where you bring in money everything else can be accommodated , but normal people need to understand that if you do not have that fame you have a whole different situation and a much slimmer chance at it.

[@lucyisabelturner]

Yoooo you actually push your own boundaries and I respect that so much. A lot of people and KZbinrs get comfortable in their success but you really don’t leave a stone unturned. So proud 🙌🏼

One of the first videos I ever watched of Joe he was doing Jack Sparrow impressions and here he is doing accents and acting professionally. I feel like a proud big sister or something. So excited to see him grow and achieve great things.

[@flickflick4956]

Your audition was honestly excellent... Not that I would have expected anything less. You should be extremely proud of yourself mate!

Congratulations!!!! This is so ridiculously exciting!

[@OLDS98]

That was fun watching you audition Joe. You really have transition in your career and taking on these challenges and moving on to bigger things. I think it is great. I have been watch your channel for a long time. Ride the wave. You went from your job and what things have led to for you. I think the reaction of your family and Dianne was quite good! Joe.. this is your season. Make the most of it!

[@princessladytanya]

Congratulations my love, as a performer myself I can tell you that you'll never forget your first lines on that west end stage and the feeling you get. So happy for you, make the most of it. Break a leg 🍾👏🏼

[@tiafayed7545]

When I heard ogie’s song for the first time after you were announced I knew you could do the voice because of your impression videos and I’m so so happy you got this and it went well!!!!!!
