News: Lee Mead announces concert at The London Palladium to celebrate 40th birthday

West End star Lee Mead is to celebrate his 40th birthday with a special concert at The London Palladium.

An evening of wonderful music that spans his 20 year career across stage and screen, the concert is set to take place on 10 June with social distancing in place.

Lee Mead at The London Palladium will see the performer singing highlights from his career in musical theatre, with “Why God Why” from Miss Saigon, “Music of the Night” from The Phantom of the Opera, “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door” from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, plus songs from Wicked and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

In addition to the musical theatre, Lee Mead is also set to perform songs from his five albums, as well as new material that has been written during lockdown.

Prepare to watch the live premiere of the star’s forthcoming single “Little Light”, written by Steve Balsamo (Jesus Christ Superstar).

Accompanied by a 12-piece band, including a brass section and a string quartet under the musical direction of keyboardist Adam Dennis.

Discussing the show, Lee Mead commented “It will be an incredible moment to bring my own show to The London Palladium for the first time – it really is something I have dreamed of my whole life. After a year of lockdowns and turning 40 this summer, I thought what better way to celebrate. All performers have missed live theatre so much and it will be a fantastic moment for me.”
