MATINEE PERFORMANCE

Following a triumphant sold-out season last year, we are thrilled to announce that the new, smash-hit production will return to the London Palladium for a strictly limited season of just 77 performances in summer 2021.

The multi-award-winning show, which began life as a small scale school concert, has been performed hundreds of thousands of times including multiple runs in the West End and on Broadway, international number one tours, and productions in over 80 countries from as far afield as Austria and Zimbabwe and from Israel to Peru.

The show features songs that have gone on to become pop and musical theatre standards, including Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door To Me, Jacob and the Sons, There’s one more Angel in Heaven and Go, Go, Go, Joseph. Follow the story of Jacob’s favourite son, Joseph, and his eleven brothers.

After being sold into slavery by the brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled showman, the Pharaoh. As Joseph strives to resolve Egypt’s famine, he becomes Pharaoh’s right-hand man and eventually reunites with his family.
