Go, go, go, Joe!
For my birthday last week, I was fortunate enough (admittedly after months of gently demanding I be taken...) to see Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's fantastic musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, starring BBC reality show winner Lee Mead, at the Adelphi theatre on the Strand.
Having been subjected to listening to the Jason Donovan version on cassette throughout several rainy childhood car journeys, I was desperate to see Joseph in the flesh, as it were, and thanks to the ample use of loin-cloths by Mr Mead's wardrobe assistant, I wasn't disappointed! The experience was, perhaps, slightly marred by the middle-aged fan bopping in her seat next to me and clapping out of time, but overall I couldn't have wished for anything more energetic, colourful and entertaining.
Arguably Joseph's most fabulous era (in the early 1990s, when police had to control the crowds with heart-throb Donovan as its star) was played out against the backdrop of the famous London Palladium in Argyll Street, whose long and varied history is charted in our upcoming title, The London Palladium - The Story of the Theatre and Its Stars.
Fully illustrated throughout with stunning full-colour posters of some of the Palladium's most well-known acts, the book follows the theatre's successes from its time as Hengler's Circus in the late 19th cenutry, to the current run of The Sound of Music. Apparently you can even get married on stage there now. Hmm, I shall have to see if Lee Mead is available...
