Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Joe McElderry will play Pharaoh in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Joe previously performed as Joseph in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical during an extensive 2017 / 2018 UK tour. 

 Released as a concept album in 1969, the stage version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has become one of the world’s most beloved family musicals. The multi-award-winning show - Tim Rice (lyrics) and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s (music) first major collaboration – has been performed hundreds of thousands of times including multiple runs in the West End and on Broadway and international tours in over 80 countries worldwide. Featuring much-loved pop and musical theatre classics, including Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door, There’s One More Angel In Heaven and Go, Go, Go, Joseph, the London Palladium production received a rapturous reception during its 2019 and 2021 summer seasons, ahead of its first major UK tour in 2022.

 Joe McElderry has been non-stop ever since he burst on to the scene in 2009 as the baby-faced winner of The X Factor. The singer quickly stormed into the UK charts with his debut album Wide Awake, before discovering a new sound during his winning stint on ITV show Popstar to Operastar in 2011. He honed his classical crooning in follow-up albums, Classic and Classic Christmas before returning to his pop roots with fourth offering Here’s What I Believe. Joe has been a regular on the stage too, receiving rave reviews for his portrayals of the titular roles in The Who’s rock opera Tommy and Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, as well as a leading role in Club Tropicana: The Musical. Following several successful tours, including Set Your Soul Alive, Evolution and Northern Light, Joe paid homage to the late, great George Michael in 2022 with his Freedom tour, having been lucky enough to perform with the iconic singer during his time on X Factor. He’ll end the year with his fourth starring stint in the prestigious Newcastle Theatre Royal pantomime – this time in The Little Mermaid.
