Donny Osmond returns to JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT in Edinburgh this Christmas
It has been announced that Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will mark the opening of its second UK tour with a strictly limited festive season at the Edinburgh Playhouse from 3-29 December.
Making his first UK appearance in a stage version of the production, global entertainment icon and highly-celebrated alumni star of Joseph, Donny Osmond returns to play Pharaoh, who rocks ‘Song of the King’ in the iconic musical – and first major collaboration – with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Donny Osmond said: "I always knew I would return to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Having starred as Joseph in over two thousand performances in this magical musical, I am now ready to channel my inner Elvis and assume the role of Pharaoh in Edinburgh starting this December."
Producer Michael Harrison adds: “Following the extraordinary reception the Edinburgh Playhouse and thousands of theatre fans gave Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat at the end of the 2022 tour, it made absolute sense to begin the new tour here and to ask Joseph royalty, Donny Osmond, to star as our festive season Pharaoh. Few shows bring the generations together the way Joseph does, and we are honoured to have an icon of the show join us to create a magical moment for families this Christmas, who will cherish the experience for years to come.”
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is directed by Laurence Connor, with choreography by JoAnn M Hunter, set and costume design by Morgan Large, lighting by Ben Cracknell, and sound by Gareth Owen.
Tickets go on general sale tomorrow (22 February) at 10am here.
