Joseph Clark and his band will be at the Atterbury Theatre in Pretoria for
two shows only on Thursday and Friday, 26 and 27 July.

The Queen Experience was first staged on 18 November last year at The
Gelredome Soccer Stadium in Arnhem in the Netherlands to an audience of over
30 000 people. In December they completed theatre runs of the show in The
Hague and in Amsterdam.

The cast consists of: Joseph Clark - Lead Vocals/Piano, Nathan Smith - Lead
Guitar/Backing Vocals, Peach van Pletzen (Yesterday's Pupil) - Drums,
Richard Brokensha (Isochronous) - Guitar/Backing Vocals, Kate Borthwick -
Keys/Backing Vocals, Trevor Donjeany/Paddy Smith - Bass, Sury Boltman -
Vocals/Backing Vocals and Zetske van Pletzen - Backing Vocals. Guest artists
are the soprano, Yollandi Nortjie and The Gaabo Motho Tenors, who will
respectively star with Clark in the duet "Barcelona" and the song "Who Wants
To Live Forever".

Joseph refers to himself as "an American African" after he left his ballet
career in the USA when brought to South Africa to dance the lead roles in
Swan Lake, Papillion, Romeo & Juliet and Witchboy. He soon moved into
musical theatre with lead roles in The Buddy Holly Story, West Side Story,
The Fantasticks, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor
Dream Coat, Sweeney Todd, March Of The Falsettos/Falsettoland, etc. In 2000
he was nominated as "best actor in a comedy" for his role in the solo play
The Male Intellect - an oxymoron? To become the first/only performer in
South Africa to have received numerous awards and nominations for acting,
singing and dancing.

He became well known for his powerful interpretation of Queen's music since
his first appearance in Geoffrey Sutherland's popular Queen At The Opera. In
2004 Joseph and his band toured Italy and Germany performing his own tribute
to the music of Queen. In 2009/10 he sang with the Northern Netherland
Symphony Orchestra in 13 concerts of Symphonic Queen and in September last
year five performances of Joseph Clark - The Music of Queen at The Madinat
Theatre in Dubai.

Joseph mainly does corporate entertainment, voice overs and jingles for
cinema, radio and television and enjoys singing with symphony orchestras all
over. Highlights include the popular RMB Starlight Classics and previously
Jhb Pops, Miss SA Pageant, sharing the opening song of the first
International AIDS Conference in Africa with TK, the late R&B singer and
singing at Nelson Mandela's 85th Birthday Celebration.

This is indeed a show not to be missed!
