It has been announced that Birmingham Hippodrome panto legend Matt Slack will return to the venue next year in a regal role when he appears as Pharaoh in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat from 20 May – 1 June 2025.

Matt performs in this sensational production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat next spring, having just performed in his 11th pantomime season at the venue when Peter Pan – which he also co-wrote – opens at Birmingham Hippodrome later this month.

Matt Slack says of playing Pharaoh: “I am delighted to be returning to Birmingham Hippodrome next year to rock the venue when I perform ‘Song of the King’ in the iconic musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Joseph has a magical ability to unite generations in joy, and I can’t wait to see faces new and old, as families come together to make treasured memories.”

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.
