Lee Mead will return to the London Palladium stage on 10 June 2021 with a very special concert: Lee Mead Live at the London Palladium.

The concert will see Mead celebrating his forthcoming 40th birthday with an evening of songs from his illustrious 20 year career in a socially distanced performance. The Palladium show will be a precursor to a 35-date UK tour which will begin 3 September and run through to 31 October.

Lee Mead Live at the London Palladium will feature songs from his Musical Theatre career along with songs from his five albums and new material which he has been writing during lockdown. Tickets for the London Palladium show are on sale from the London Palladium Box Office here.

Mead; who got his West End breakthrough in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat; in the role of Joseph which he won through Andrew Lloyd Webber’s TV series Any Dream Will Do, will perform Close Every Door and Any Dream Will Do from the hit show.

He will also perform Why God, Why? from Miss Saigon and Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera, two shows which he starred in pre-Joseph, along with material from Wicked which he starred in for 10 months and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where he played Caractacus Potts in the touring production.

Mead will perform his new single Little Light which is written by Steve Balsamo (Jesus Christ Superstar) who will also make a guest performance at the Palladium and perform with Mead.  Mead will be accompanied by a 12 piece band which will include a brass section who have performed with the likes of Michael Buble and Mark Ronson and  a string quartet which will be under the musical direction of keyboardist Adam Dennis.

Mead who has just finished a stint in BBC One’s Holby City and Casualty as Nurse Lofty, first performed at the London Palladium in 2008 in a show celebrating the career of legendary lyricist Don Black. He returned in 2017 to play Prince Charming in the theatre’s first pantomime for 30 years.
