The much-anticipated revival of Joseph and The Technicolor Dreamcoat has finally announced who'll be donning the loincloth and snazzy coat combo! Drama school student Jac Yarrow will be London's newest Joe, opposite former Joe Jason Donovan as the Pharoah and Sheridan Smith, who'll make her own much-anticipated stage return as the Narrator.
Of the announcement, Yarrow said: "I can't quite believe it. Here I am, 21 years old, still at drama school and come June I'll be standing centre stage at the prestigious London Palladium, singing the iconic music and lyrics of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. My dream came true." Awww!
The story of Joseph
First fashioned as a musical concept album that was performed at Colet Court School, the success of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Riche's next venture, Jesus Christ Superstar, saw a revival of interest in the show, with its first West End production following in 1973.
Since then, it has gone on to become an international megahit, a highly sought after show that sees productions range from glitzy theatrical juggernauts to delightful local concerts, all capturing the magic of ALW and Tim Rice's exuberant music and storytelling.
Previews begin at the London Palladium on June 27th ahead of opening night on July 11th.
