Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat
Most of us remember the musical “Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat” from a school performance, either as proud parents or as young performers ourselves! In my case, both – but the earlier memories are somewhat faded from the 1960s. The show was originally written as a ‘hip’ musical that schools would enjoy producing and if your memories are good ones then you’ll really want to see the full West End version of the show at some point in your life, and so will your kids, just to see how it looks when put on by professionals with all the accoutrements of the West End stage.
Any Dream Will Do
Of course the other possibility is that you watched the TV show “Any Dream Will Do” from which Lee Mead emerged as the star to play Joseph, and he continues to play the lead role until 10 January 2009 so there’s an idea there for December and New Year perhaps.
See Joseph in London with Joseph Theatre Breaks
The London show usually just called “Joseph” and it has been tweaked just a little over the years, for example there’s a completely new song for Pharaoh (Elvis) called “King of my Heart” but you’ll still recognise all the old favourites like “Close every door”, “Coat of many Colours” and “Any dream will do”. Joseph Theatre Breaks are packaged so that you get top tickets for the show bundled with a reasonably priced hotel stay so you don’t have to worry about getting away after the theatre, and if you book the rail journey at the same time it saves up to 40% on those tickets as well. The train is most convenient for visiting London from most parts of the UK and most people turn it into a theatre break weekend or take a day off midweek to go shopping and see the sights of London, maybe adding an extra excursion like a flight on the London Eye or a river trip.
Joseph Theatre Breaks in October – Special Offer
You’ll have to be quick but there’s a special discount offer on for Joseph Theatre breaks booked before October 9th for Monday to Thursday shows until October 16th, 2008. This brings the price of a ticket to see Lee Mead in Joseph and a night in a London hotel down to as little as £79.50 per person. But if that isn’t convenient try doing a search for the dates that do suit you and you’ll be surprised at the theatre break deals you might be able to find, even for those special times of the year in some cases.
