Twenty years ago, a nation picked up the phone and decided that any dream would do. And this one did.
Lee Mead is coming home to the Adelphi Theatre, returning to the stage where it all began, and bringing two decades of music, memories, and stories with him.
This is a full-circle moment: for Lee, for the theatre, for the songs that changed his life, and for every single person who voted for him and has kept turning up ever since.
Joined by a live band and perhaps even a few surprise guests, Lee presents the show that twenty years of touring have been leading up to: the most personal night of his career, and without a doubt the most colourful.
Expect the West End at full volume with hits from Joseph, We Will Rock You, Phantom of the Opera, Sister Act, Barnum, and all the biggest shows from Lee’s career. And woven through them, the music of George Michael, Tony Bennett, and Bruno Mars, artists who made Lee want to sing in the first place and have inspired him ever since. Come for the stories behind the songs, told in the one room where they mean the most.
