New musical theatre concert tour Dreamcoat Stars announced featuring Joseph cast members

New UK touring concert Dreamcoat Stars is set to tour over 60 venues across the UK.

The newly announced show will feature reimagined versions of musical theatre songs, all performed by cast members who have starred in one of the world’s most well-known musicals: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Keith Jack, who’s held a long connection to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat since shooting to stardom with his appearance in the 2007 BBC television programme ‘Any Dream Will Do’ and subsequent UK theatre productions of the musical, will co-produce the show with RED Entertainment’s Matt Brinkler, also an ex-Joseph performer.

Jack will also star in the concert together with the longest reigning Joseph, Mike Holoway, having first played the titular role at age 19 before appearing in the West End and numerous UK tours over a 24-year period culminating in over 4000 performances. Straight from the West End Jonathan Dudley, who alternated as Joseph in the 2013 UK tour, and Chris Barton finalist on hit BBC shows Any Dream Will Do & All Together Now. Further casting will be announced soon.

Keith Jack said: “Joseph has been a part of my life since before Any Dream Will Do, and I’ve always thought about getting a few Joseph performers together for a concert of musical theatre. Joseph is such a well-loved show and cast members past and present have a huge personal following – so it felt very natural that they may want to see those cast members performing a selection of the biggest hits from all different types of shows, and a few new arrangements from Joseph of course! I’m hoping this will appeal to people of all ages and maybe even introduce some of the newer musicals to audiences that haven’t heard them before.”

Matt Brinkler added: “When Keith asked me for my help on this production, and later to co produce it with him, I was over the moon. This musical theatre concert is the perfect way to make larger musicals accessible and affordable for so many that need an introduction to theatre. It gives us an opportunity to reach further into communities that haven’t got access to number one touring venues.

“It is my hope that we can inspire new audiences towards the West End and large-scale touring venues through the celebrity pull of these hugely talented ex-Josephs and co-stars. At the same time, we have an opportunity to introduce some new musicals to audiences that are already fans of the genre.”

This concert extravaganza celebrates the life and work of legendary West End and Broadway composers in a brand-new mega mix production, promising powerful star vocals of the nation’s most loved shows including Joseph, Jesus Christ Superstar, SIX, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia, We Will Rock You, Jersey Boys, Les Misérables, Moulin Rouge and more.
