So many great memories of the 1991 production, first ever visit to the Palladium. Linzi Hateley singing Pharaoh Story still gives me goosebumps, I bought her album in the foyer.
There's a great behind the scenes of Schofield preparing for his debut, they showed it on Going Live just before his opening night. It is on YouTube.
I just remember being so disappointed seeing the low rent tour version years later.

Theres no doubting that the Palladium version was a real blast. They might go pop star for the narrator rather than Joseph. I don’t think that any of 1D would be remotely interested though. Maybe one of Blue or that lad off of Hollyoaks off of the jungle? Tits & teeth, not neccessarily talent. When ALW was casting the 2007 production (via TV), he said he wanted a Joseph who was a cross between Jude Law, Justin Timberlake and a young Michael Jackson! I wonder whether he'd consider going down the TV casting route again? I suspect not, given that last time, instead of the stereotypical blonde, popstar type he wanted (and was definitely pushing for), the public chose a dark haired (though, admittedly, easy on the eye and gym honed) Musical Theatre performer!

First show I took my kid to (aged 7, Wimbledon). Prompted me to change my pic. Ladies, Gentlemen, and those who have yet to decide. I give you Donny Osmond. In a loin cloth.

It definitely can’t be Charlie Stemp because I’m pretty sure Mary Poppins is beginning previews in August.

This is brilliant news! Joseph is an incredible musical done well and deserves so much better than the Kenright tour. The Jason Donovan version had just the most incredible buzz. And Linzi Hately belting out Pharaoh Story every night - epic! The Adelphi was fun as a tribute to Stephen Pimlott and walk down memory lane but did show that this version was very 90s! I heard Nigel Wright talking in a pod cast about how that 1991 version was re orchestrated to make it a contemporary pop sound but how it would be completely different if they were to do it again now, so assume there will be some exciting new arrangements. ALW repeatedly said about a year ago he wanted Liam Payne to do it. In itself a fine idea, but my God the audience bad behaviour thread would be through the roof. Anyway, was this and Starlight that got me in to MT so am thrilled. What with this, a new Evita and the return of JCS, Summer 2019 gonna be wonderful. With the endless tired tours we forget how incredible these shows were. Wonderful to see new productions! Liam Payne?! Christ, you wouldn't be able to prize me out of the seat by the end!!!!!!
A tattooed Joseph....

E-mail from the Palladium calls it a brand new, reimagined production

Well personally I am delighted. This show provided a 6 year old version of myself with his first obsession and his first window into the fabulous world of musical theatre which went on to be a huge part of his life, so I hope that this will be accessible to other young children (i.e, without a £90 ticket price) and have the same effect on them.

Is Michael Harrison Entertainment the company behind the Palladium pantos? Hopefully that means it should be a quality production?

If @ryan is in charge of casting it'll be Fleeshman, Bateman or Fraser.

Can Joe Sugg sing? They would only need 1/8 of his followers to buy tickets and they would be laughing.

All this talk of Joseph made me go hunting for my cast recording but it seems I may have put it to charity and I have searched online with no luck! I remember it had Linzi Hateley as the Narrator however it wasn't the London Palladium recording and didn't have Lee Mead or Donny Osmond as Joseph. Does anyone have any ideas which album this was and who could have been Joseph?

There was an LA cast recording released in 1993, with Michael Damian as Joseph, and Kelli Rabke as the Narrator. Could this have been it?

More to the point, is the seven inch edit of the ‘Joseph Megamix’ available online anywhere? The album one is a bit slow and dreary but the 7” mix felt more like it did in the theatre.

I'm positive it was Linzi as the Narrator but I have seen the artwork for the London Palladium cast recording and even listened to it and it doesn't match up to what I had. I have a vague recollection of the album being a brown in colour but that's it. It's actually starting to annoy me that I got rid of it. xD

I have found an audio clip from the album but it sadly doesn't say which album it is from! It's definitely not the London Palladium recording as the first song is simply titled "Prologue" on it however on the album I had it was named "Some Folds Dream". I'm now doubting myself about Linzi but I was almost positive it had her listed on the back...

Joe Sugg is a weedly looking little blonde. Lee Mead is great looking and his voice better than ever.

obviously it depends if he can sing, but Joseph can get away with having just a passable voice.

That’s definitely not Linzi Hateley! Would love to her to reprise her role in this revival...
