Day and Shaw to Star in Joseph Before it Closes on April 2

The West End run of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the New London Theatre will come to a close on April 2. Before it does, Darren Day will return to play Joseph and his fiancée, actress Suzanne Shaw, will step into the role of the Narrator.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat tells the biblical story of Joseph, his 11 brothers and the coat of many colors. This production of the popular tuner is directed by Bill Kenwright and choreographed by Henry Metcalfe.

This revival opened at the New London Theatre on March 3, 2003 with Boyzone's Stephen Gately in the title role. Day stepped into the mounting for a limited engagement beginning in October of that year and has since played the role of Joseph in a separate touring production. Simon Gorton is currently playing the character at the New London and will continue to do so until Day's arrival on February 14. Likewise, Vivienne Carlyle will portray the Narrator until Shaw's addition that same day.
