Review: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat

Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals are a bit hit and miss for me.

I know it's probably an unpopular opinion but there are a couple I have just never 'got'. Cats is one and, unfortunately, Joseph is another (for anyone interested School of Rock and Jesus Christ Superstar are two of my favourites!).

And, again unfortunately, this version did nothing to change my mind. But the latest UK Tour of the smash-hit show came to the Hawth this week and had the audience on their feet on the first night.

Although not my thing, it was an enjoyable night with an enthusiastic cast, great songs and some good dance numbers.

Jaymi Hensley, a member of 2013’s BBC ‘British Breakthrough Band’ of the year Union J, dons the Technicolor Dreamcoat and leads the company in his first role in a major musical.
