Show to celebrate hit West End production
A show marking the 50th anniversary of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is coming to Cannock.
Tread Productions will present Brothers Beyond, a musical theatre tribute show at the Prince of Wales Centre on September 9.
Featuring numbers from some of the biggest West End musicals including Les Misérables, Jesus Christ Superstar and of course Joseph, the show has been created and directed by former Joseph star and local lad Graham Tudor.
He joined the cast of Joseph in 1998 as Isachaar and went on to don the famous coat from 1999 to 2003 – and again in 2005.
Mr Tudor, from Chadsmoor, has since gone on to star in countless West End shows including Grease, Mamma Mia, and The Rocky Horror Show.
He said said: “I have some fantastic memories of my time in Joseph, and when I realised it was the shows 50th Anniversary I felt that I had to do something to honour the occasion.
“When I approached all the cast members, they were all as excited by the sound of this project as me and I am thrilled to bring them all together for this show.
"This will be the first time these performers, band and crew have worked together in 20 years!”
Joining him is a collection of some of the finest West End performers around, who have all appeared in Joseph over the last 20 years, including the longest serving member in the title role – Mike Holoway.
The full cast includes Paul Tate (Annie); Brian Graves (Hello Dolly); Tania Whately (Sunset Boulevard); Trevor Jary (Jesus Christ Superstar); Russel Hicken (Robin Hood); Gavin James Woods (QDOS Pantomimes); Robert Jaye (Thomas and Friends); Ben Beechey (Les Misérables); Shaun Dalton (Les Misérables); Lewis Bradley (Wicked); and Chris Barton (Hairspray).
Musical direction will come from former Joseph managing director in the West End and UK tour, Dave Rose. His other credits include the UK tours of Wicked and Shrek.
They will also be joined on stage by students from this year’s Tread Summer School in Cannock.
Tickets for the show, taking place from 7pm on Sunday, September 9, cost £18 and are available by calling 01543 578762 or going online to www.princeofwales.live
