A musical extravaganza concert is set to headline the Newbury Corn Exchange this July.
Dreamcoat Stars will take to the stage on July 11, as part of its 2026 UK tour.
The show features vocalists from the UK hit show Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and will bring audiences an evening packed with West End and Broadway favourites in an energetic celebration of musical theatre.
Keith Jack, co-producer of Dreamcoat Stars and runner-up of BBC1’s Any Dream Will Do, said: “[Joseph] has been a part of my life since before Any Dream Will Do, and I’ve always thought about getting a few Joseph performers together for a concert of musical theatre.
"[Joseph] is such a well-loved musical and we continue to be delighted with fantastic audience reactions around the country.
"We discovered the show not only appeals to people of all ages, it even introduced some of the newer musicals to audiences that haven’t heard them before.
"We’re excited to bring the updated show to more audiences in 2026”
The concert includes much more than just numbers from Joseph, featuring a colourful set list of songs from beloved shows including Wicked, We Will Rock You, Chicago, Les Misérables, Hairspray, and Jersey Boys.

Produced by Matt Brinkler of Red Entertainment, the production aims to make musical theatre accessible to wider audiences.
Mr Brinkler said: "This musical theatre concert is the perfect way to make larger musicals accessible and affordable for so many that need an introduction to theatre.
"It gives us an opportunity to reach further into communities that haven’t got access to number one touring venues.
"It is my hope that we can inspire new audiences towards the West End and large-scale touring venues and at the same time, we have an opportunity to introduce some new musicals to audiences that are already fans of the genre."
Dreamcoat Stars opens its spring 2026 tour on March 20 at the Swan Theatre in Worcester, before travelling to venues across the UK.
The concert will also be performed at the Palace Theatre in Southend on July 10 and the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth on July 17.
Audiences are promised an uplifting night of theatre filled with some of the greatest musical songs of a generation.
Red Entertainment, the London-based theatrical production company behind the show, focuses on expanding live theatre beyond major cities and into local communities.
More information about the tour and other venues can be found on the Red Entertainment website.
The concert is not affiliated with the licence holders or producers of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Dreamcoat Stars is a concert featuring artists who have previously performed in productions of Joseph.
