West End debutant Jac Yarrow lands lead role in Joseph at the London Palladium
Actor Jac Yarrow is set to star take on the lead role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as he takes on the lead role at the London Palladium straight out of university.
Yarrow, who graduates from ArtsEd in London later this year, will make his West End debut in the production alongside the previously announced Sheridan Smith as the narrator, and former Joseph himself Jason Donovan, who plays the Pharaoh.
During his time at ArtsEd, Yarrow has starred in productions of Street Scene, Once on this Island, and most recently playing the lead role of Jack Kelly in Luke Sheppard's production of Disney's Newsies.

Lee Mead won the competition, playing the role at the Adelphi Theatre, and going on to appear in productions of Wicked, Legally Blonde and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
This London Palladium production will be directed by Laurence Connor, with lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Gareth Owen, design by Morgan Large, and choreography by JoAnn M Hunter.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will run at the London Palladium from 27th June to 8th September.
