A new UK touring concert has been announced at over 60 venues across the UK. Dreamcoat Stars will feature reimagined versions of musical theatre songs, uniquely performed by cast members who have starred in one of the world’s most well-known musicals: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Like all great theatrical shows, the idea must spark from somewhere. In the case of Dreamcoat Stars, the light-bulb moment came to Keith Jack, who’s held a long connection to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat since shooting to stardom with his appearance in the 2007 BBC television programme ‘Any Dream Will Do’ and subsequent UK theatre productions of the musical.
Keith Jack said, Joseph has been a part of my life since before Any Dream Will Do, and I’ve always thought about getting a few Joseph performers together for a concert of musical theatre. Joseph is such a well-loved show and cast members past and present have a huge personal following – so it felt very natural that they may want to see those cast members performing a selection of the biggest hits from all different types of shows, and a few new arrangements from Joseph of course! I’m hoping this will appeal to people of all ages and maybe even introduce some of the newer musicals to audiences that haven’t heard them before.
Currently starring in the spring tour includes Keith Jack; the longest reigning Joseph Mike Holoway, having first played the titular role at age 19 before appearing in the West End and numerous UK tours over a 24-year period culminating in over 4000 performances. Straight from the West End Jonathan Dudley, who alternated as Joseph in the 2013 UK tour, and Chris Barton finalist on hit BBC shows Any Dream Will Do & All Together Now. Further casting will be announced soon.
Brinkler added, Some big numbers from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat are in the concert but it was important to us that we see our Josephs perform songs the audience haven’t seen them do before. The part of the show I’m most excited about is the 4-part Defying Gravity vocal arrangement and the inclusion of a new arrangement from SIX.
Grab your coat of many colours and join our Josephs on an emotional journey where Any Dream Will Do.
