Last year the search was on for Maria in the Sound of Music - this year Any Dream Will Do is looking for another star.
Thousands of hopefuls auditioned but only 12 got a chance to perform in front of a live studio audience - each hoping to land the lead part in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor® Dreamcoat.
Each of the final dozen had their own Joseph-like colourful outfit to wear for the show!
About six million people have been tuning in each week to vote for their favourite.
Some of the 12 were studying music and drama, like 19-year-old Chris.
Builder Robert, 23, had hoped to swap his hard hat for Joseph's Amazing Technicolour coat but the judges didn't think he was ready for the part.
As well as looking for a new Joseph, the competition has been looking for one lucky school choir to perform at a special show .
For the past eight weeks, the hopefuls have been doing their best to impress four judges including Doctor Who's Captain Jack, John Barrowman who's a big theatre star.
The other judges, Denise Van Outen, Bill Kenwright and Zoe Tyler, are joined by musical composer and producer Andrew Lloyd Webber, who co-wrote the musical.
The show was first put on in 1968 and is based on the bible tale of Jacob's son Joseph and his 11 brothers.
Everyone's been competing for the main role, which includes wearing a multicoloured coat and singing hits such as I Close My Eyes and of course, Any Dream Will Do.
Any Dream Will Do is competing against ITV's Grease Is The Word, which is looking for a couple to play Sandy and Danny in a stage version of Grease.
