Any dream will do?

Lee Mead has been cast as Lloyd Webber’s Joseph. Is he up to par? Check out his official video

And then there was one.

One the heels of winning the coveted role in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Lee Mead has released the official Children in Need single, the aggressively gay title song Any Dream will Do.

Featuring dew-eyed Lee Mead sighing and frolicking on a sparkling digital rainbow, it’s questionably joyful and charmingly low budget (and seethingly irritating and maniacal to some). I imagine it would be a decent theme song for a child pride festival, if there was such a thing. Nonetheless, this video will find an audience with gay six-year-olds and show queens - with little to no taste -everywhere. Unicorns should have been included.

Although beating out the vocally superior and more charming Keith, Lee does pull it off – adding just the right amount of zest. Despite the campness of it all, he seems oddly heterosexual. Wrong.
