Technicolor dreamin’
‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is simply wonderful theatre, and it was just as amazing at Worthing’s Pavilion..’
IT’S been doing the rounds now for more than 20 years, and it’s my guess that it will still be going strong in 200 years’ time. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is simply wonderful theatre, and it was just as amazing at Worthing’s Pavilion Theatre this week.
On Monday, the opening night, a completely packed house thought so, too - the audience simply could not stop applauding.
OK, I’m biased; I just love this musical. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s non-stop numbers just get completely into your head and they’re still doing the rounds in my memory as I write this - just like the middle-aged woman who was following me out of the theatre singing away!
I thought the original was fantastic, but this production by Bill Kenwright is so vital and alive, slick and colourful, it makes the audience want to get on stage and join in! Richard Swerrun, as Joseph, is brilliant - his singing carries the show - and Lee Mead’s interpretation of Pharaoh taking off the King, Elvis, had everyone applauding wildly
Lee Mead used to go to my dancing company and our teacher Penni loves him to bits, it would be so amazing for someone we know to win something as big as this :D:D
Lee Mead is my fav by far. He really has the X factor. If he wins it (which i’m sure he will) I’m going to go and see the show!
