Legendary pop star Donny Osmond is returning to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s hit musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat this Christmas in Edinburgh.
Donny Osmond will star as Pharaoh in Joseph at the Edinburgh Playhouse from 3 to 29 December 2024.
Edinburgh is the first stop on a new tour for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, with further dates to be announced.
This production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which premiered at the London Palladium, is once again directed by Laurence Connor (School of Rock, Miss Saigon, Chess, Cinderella, Les Misérables), alongside choreographer JoAnn M Hunter, set and costume design by Morgan Large, lighting design by Ben Cracknell, sound design by Gareth Owen, Musical Supervisor John Rigby, and casting by David Grindrod.
Donny Osmond said in a statement: “I always knew I would return to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Having starred as Joseph in over two thousand performances in this magical musical, I am now ready to channel my inner Elvis and assume the role of Pharaoh in Edinburgh starting this December.”
The show is produced by Michael Harrison and the Really Useful Group. Producer Michael Harrison said: “Following the extraordinary reception the Edinburgh Playhouse and thousands of theatre fans gave Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat at the end of the 2022 tour, it made absolute sense to begin the new tour here and to ask Joseph royalty, Donny Osmond, to star as our festive season Pharaoh. Few shows bring the generations together the way Joseph does, and we are honoured to have an icon of the show join us to create a magical moment for families this Christmas, who will cherish the experience for years to come.”
Donny Osmond’s six-decade career includes selling over 100 million records, receiving 33 gold records, and headlining a record-breaking Las Vegas residency. Donny also made more than 2,000 performances in the starring role of Joseph in the musical between 1992 – 1997.
