Andrew Lloyd Webber’s protégés scooped the top awards at this years People’s Choice Theatre Awards, Lee Mead (unsurprisingly) received ‘Favorite Theatre Actor’ and Connie Fisher won the ‘Favorite Theatre Actress Award’. Both Mead and Fisher were shocked that they’d won but were grateful to the public for appreciating their talents - ahem I’m sure women everywhere appreciate Lee’s talents in more ways than one!
Daniel Radcliff’s nude scenes helped score Equus the ‘Favorite Play Award’ and the spellbinding show Wicked conjured up ‘Favorite Musical’ and ‘Favorite Theatre Moment’.
However the most shocking award of the night had to be ‘The Favorite Pre-theatre Dinner Award’, in my opinion the public had pretty much hit the nail on the head when dishing out these awards but when ‘The Favorite Pre-theatre Dinner Award’ was announced I was left slightly confused! Drum roll please………….The Pizza Express Haymarket, now don’t get me wrong - I do love Pizza Express, I just think that the pre-theatre restaurant should be as divine as the theatre and as delectable as the show. There are hundreds of delicious restaurants to choose from in this area that serve mouthwatering dishes for reasonable prices in luxurious settings, maybe I’m bias as we sell some amazing restaurants in our packages but they are definitely worth a try before a theatre show.
Nevertheless the awards went to deserving winners and a good night was had by one and all!

Lee Mead is simply sensational, his vocal and acting talents are second to none and the loin cloth scenes are guaranteed to make you weak at the knees!
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat opened last night to hundreds of adoring fans and critics, to which Lee Mead did not disappoint. Lee has been described as “phenomenal” and that “he has such great talent, and will go far”, judging by the standing ovation we reckon that Lee Mead is a huge hit and will be a West End name for years to come. Both audience and critics were won over by his performance and any doubt that he was the wrong person to win “Any Dream Will Do” have been dashed.
However his co-stars have also received mighty praise as Preeya (Narrator) has been described as truly gorgeous and steals the show, and Dean Collinson (Pharaoh) does a surperb Elvis which had the audience in fits of laughter. From Opening night it would seem that Joseph and The Tehnicolour Dreamcoat is set to be a smash hit, despite the stage difficulties which halted the performance for 10 minutes, we are sure that the fans will keep flocking to see Lee strut his stuff on stage.
I have found a few snippets from the show and a full length version “close every door to me” in which Lee sings in his loin cloth - enjoy!

Ok, so Lee Mead is not quite at number 1 yet. But what an achievement, his first ever single and he reaches number 2 in the offical UK singles chart. Not only that, but the money raised from the sale of the single goes to Children In Need - what better way to start a musical career?

Personally, I think ‘Any Dream Will Do’ is much better than ‘Umbrella’ (’Umbrella’ is a good song until you get to that bit in the middle where you think the track is skipping!) I think Rihanna’s time at the top of the charts may come to an end this weekend and we may see Lee Mead in the coveted number 1 spot.

Lee’s my number 1 already but let’s make it official and help Children In Need at the same time. The single is available on iTunes, at some Tesco stores and in any half decent record store. Buy the single and let’s help Lee make it to number 1 this weekend!

Lee Mead has been a very busy bee this past week! Since winning ‘Any Dream Will Do’ last weekend, Lee has been working non-stop! Last Monday he released his double A-side “Any Dream Will Do/Close Every Door,” which has been a very popular track reaching number 5 on iTunes singles download chart and number 18 on the UK singles chart.

The A-side features Lee singing ‘Any Dream Will Do.’ The B-side features all 3 finalists, Keith Jack, Lewis Bradley and Lee Mead, performing ‘Close Every Door.’ Money raised from the sale of this single will go to the Children in Need appeal.

He’s been doing interviews, press conferences, photo shoots, wig fittings (yes, really!) and has now started rehearsals. Lee’s co-star, Preeya Kalidas, has said that she thinks Lee is fantastic and that she believes that he has all the qualities that Jospeh should have, such as innocence, vulnerability and sex appeal!

Lee will be performing alongside some of the West End’s finest, including Preeya Kalidas, Dean Collinson and Stephen Tate. I think the video below demonstrates that Lee is capable of singing next to the best of them! Beautiful clip of Lee performing with the magnificent Josh Groban, just a taster of what we can expect in the future from the talented Lee Mead.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat opens on 17th July at the Adelphi Theatre, London. We’re all looking forward to seeing Lee blow the critics away with a fantastic performance!

And I’ll tell you something else, there’s only one Joseph on my mind today and it’s not the one with the technicolor dreamcoat…it’s Josef Brown.

Josef Brown plays Johnny in the London production of Dirty Dancing and he is simply divine! Check out the superbly talented and rather gorgeous Josef Brown in the Dirty Dancing video blog. Then, for your second treat of the day, enjoy the Dirty Dancing promo video. Happy viewing theatre fans and look out for Josef in the future, he’s going to be a star!

Thought you might enjoy this though, it really showcases their singing talents and shows us something that they didn’t really get a chance to show us on Any Dream Will Do and Grease Is the Word! Happy viewing theatre fans!
