The story of Jacob's son, sold into slavery in Egypt by his jealous brothers, is surely the least likely subject matter ever to be staged as a West End musical. Yet 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' has seldom been offstage in London and New York since the first Broadway production in 1982. It has many of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's finest songs, with witty lyrics and unforgettable hooks, and offers plenty of comedy, high drama and several rousing set pieces. The Pharaoh is portrayed as Elvis, and Joseph is a really good hero, mixing tremendous vanity with quick wit. This is many people's favourite Lloyd Webber musical: 'Joseph' has a gleeful silliness that is lacking in the composer's later works, which keeps it fresh, and makes it a treat for all ages. Lee Mead will be on holiday 3rd to the 11th November inclusive. His replacement is TBC. Lee Mead is contracted to perform until the 10th January 2009.
Founded by the 7th Earl of Bradford, situated in the heart of Covent Garden,and serving the absolute stalwart dishes of traditional British cuisine, Porters is so English you'd expect the waiters to have bulldog tattoos.This is at the opposite end of the British dining tradition from Simpson's in the Strand - it's relaxed, lively, and child-friendly, with the emphasis on value for money.
