BreakingNewz::Shane Crawford stinks it up in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat .

[Aristotle Pickett]

Apparantly Crawford got a role in the musical about raincoats. Fmd.



Here's a review of his performance.

"The only disappointment, well telegraphed by the controversy of his casting, is ex-AFL footballer Shane Crawford. In fact, disappointment doesn’t begin to cover it. In a production where every performer is at the top of their game, Crawford’s blundering, tone-deaf turn as the Pharaoh is crushingly bad. Utterly devoid of stage presence, incapable of delivering a single line with flair or conviction, his addition to the production reads like a giant insult. "

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat review – a joyous, daggy night out

Euan Fistrovic Doidge and Paulini shine in this timeless and entertaining show – but ex-AFL star Shane Crawford is crushingly bad as the Pharoah

One of my favourite musicals, and was tempted to go and see it to sing along, but I wouldn't have been able to take Crawf seriously as the Pharaoh.
Good on him for doing it though - been a rough year for him.

By the way, the shiny gold shorts he's wearing are the other part to our power rangers guernsey ensemble.

Crawf, stick to the footy mate.

Though it would be really meta if he released a cover version of TISM's "I Rooted A Girl Who Rooted A Guy"

Why does a review of an ex-AFL player in a musical get moved to the divvy van.? Did Crawf's manager complain?

Which Hawk supporting flog from here was in charge of casting him

More reviews..

The Age's Cameron Woodhead heaped plenty of praise on the production as a whole, but was damning of Crawford's performance.


'Whatever the hell Crawford is doing as the Pharaoh, it isn't acting,' he wrote.

'The Pharaoh is supposed to be comic relief – a sort of ancient Egyptian Elvis impersonation – but Crawford can't really hold a tune or wobble a seductive lip (or even find the right spot to stand, sometimes) and his clueless prancing resembles variety performance with a whiff of ritual humiliation about it.

Don't use all your divvy emojis, you only get 20 per year.
Old Crawf would be better off working as a clown in a circus tbh.
