IT started as a 15-minute end-of-term school concert . . . and went on to launch the mega-millions careers of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd-Webber.

And now Bill Kenwright has brought his record-breaking production of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat' to Liverpool Empire for an energetic run until January 17.

And we've joined forces with the Empire to bring you a competition offering a pair of tickets for the January 2 performance to the three lucky winners of our easy-to-enter competition.

All you have to do is simply write the answer to the following question on the back of a postcard or stuck-down envelope and send to Globe Joseph Competition, Globe House, Catherine Street, Birkenhead, L41 6HW, to reach us by Monday, December 22, when the first three correct entries drawn at random will win.

Star of the show is Richard Swerrun, whom some of you may remember playing the lead in Kenwright's Robin Hood musical at Liverpool Playhouse a couple of Christmases ago. He plans to put his own distinctive stamp on the role made famous by Jason Donovan and Philip Schofield.

If you want to see if he succeeds, have a go at our competition. And here's your question: For which Disney cartoon film did Tim Rice write the song lyrics?

Good Luck!
