Produced by Matt Brinkler for RED Entertainment and Keith Jack, who is also starring in the touring production, having shot to fame after placing second in BBC1’s Any Dream Will Do.

The tour will also star the longest-reigning Joseph Mike Holoway, having first played the titular role at age 19 before appearing in the West End and UK tours over a 24-year period culminating in more than 4,000 performances.

Dreamcoat Stars celebrates the life and work of legendary composers in this brand-new mega mix production.

With some of the biggest musical songs of a generation, this is a show that will raise your spirits in a night of theatre you’ll never forget.

Best-known for BBC1’s Any Dream Will Do where he came second to friend and fellow Joseph Lee Mead, Keith Jack’s favourite Joseph song is the slow version of Any Dream Will Do.

It’s the moment when Joseph meets Jacob for the first time in years.

“It’s a beautiful tender moment and really lets you listen to the lyrics of the song” said Keith.

Some of Keith’s Theatre credits include: The Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Charlie in Only The Brave, Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Sparky in Forever Plaid.

“A Joseph mishap for me was one time I forgot to put on my pants under my loincloth and thought I had gotten away with it until someone told me at stage door they noticed.”

Mike Holoway is a British musician and actor. He was the drummer and percussionist in Flintlock and at the same time became an actor, notably in the cult TV series The Tomorrow People.
