Speaking about his return to Joseph, Joe said: “I am delighted to join the company of the London Palladium production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

“I have such a long history with the show and to re-join in a different role, this time playing Pharaoh, will be so exciting.  I can’t wait to perform to amazing home audiences in a show so close to my heart. Don’t miss out on next year’s ‘dream’ ticket!”
