Ashford Prep School’s young budding star in West End national tour

An Ashford Prep School student has recently taken to the stage at Leas Cliff Hall in the West End national tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which wowed Folkestone crowds for two weeks over March and was hailed ‘a technicolour triumph’ by The Independent.

Tia Nayer, a Year 5 student and lover of all things drama, sang as part of Folkestone Stagecoach, who collaborated with Canterbury Stagecoach to provide the backup singing for the show. This included backup for solos by the Pharaoh, the Narrator and Joseph himself, who was played by Union J’s Jaymi Hensley.

Tia has also recently auditioned for the London Palladium production of Joseph, following which she has been invited to audition for the London Production of Mary Poppins by the same casting director.

Tia is represented by the London Agency Creative Kidz, and holds a distinction in Musical Theatre Stage 2. She is aiming to complete her Stage 3 later this year. She has featured in multiple professional musical productions at Leas Cliff Hall, including the West End tour of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, Dick Whittington, Abba Mania and Big Miller Band.
