Zac Efron to Star in ‘Dreamcoat’?
Zac Efron is possibly looking to make his West End theater debut with the part of Joseph in the musical, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat according to the Mirror.
The 20-year-old High School Musical actor reportedly spoke with Andrew Lloyd Webber about the part. Lee Mead, who currently plays Joseph, will be leaving in January.
An inside source commented, “It is a marriage made in musical heaven. Zac loves the role and is keen to clock up some stage time in London. For Hollywood actors a spell in the West End offers credibility and can be extremely lucrative!”
WHAT DO YOU THINK about Zac playing Joseph in Dreamcoat — YAY or NAY?

Um, I’m really not sure about this you guy’s, speaking as someone who work’s in the British Theatre Industry, I dont think Zac would take on this role.
He has worked extremely hard on a number of Musical roles in the past few year’s on HSM and Hairspray but I dont think he would activeley be looking to do another role in a Musical for a while.
I know that over the year’s Actor’s have enjoyed role’s in the West End and to Critical Acclaim which has benefitted their career’s but Zac as Joseph? He definately has a really good voice but could he keep up with the demanding and tiring matinee and eveing performances of 5-6 day’s a week, he might permanently damage his vocal chords.
He is now in the middle of releasing a few film’s that require him to challenge himself in other way’s like Me and Orson Welles and Seventeen Again so I think in my opinion he would stay clear of stereotyping himself too much in one type of role.
Saying that if Zac has expressed an interest to be in any role in the West End, I woud definately go and see him…lol
#87–hIGH SCOOL FOREVER”
I’ve thought and worried about the same thing when it comes to his vocal chords. Even though he has sung a lot over the past 3 years it has only been for short periods of time in regards to how it would be if he was doing theater. You really have to project your voice and as you say it it equals 7-8 performances per week. He would have have one day off per week—at least that the way it works on Broadway. Even Vanessa who has been vocal training since she was very young has had off about every third day on her concert tour. I don’t think it is just to travel but to give her vocal chords a rest.
#79, Sorry, if you have made a positive comment, I appreciate it. However, I do not understand a word of your language, Spanish or Mexican. Anyone care to translate?
#87, totally agree!! I just think all kinds of rumors are going to swirl around about what his next role will be, until we actually hear facts. A little while back, all we kept reading was that he was doing “Footloose” and nothing has come of those rumors!!
If he wants to go let him go. And he DOESN’T have to take Vanessa along with him. What are they, joined at the hip? I think it’s pretty selfish (and immature) of people to not want him to get on with his career because they obsess about his relationship. What about HER career? She should just drop everything and run to be by his side always? Ridiculous. Maybe some time apart would be a good thing, let them see if this is truly something that will last through the hard times. If we’re never tested then we never really know what we’re made of right?
If he wants to go let him go. And he DOESN’T have to have Vanessa tagging along with him. What are they, joined at the hip? I think it’s pretty selfish, not to mention immature, of people to not want him to pursue career options because they obsess over his relationship. And what about HER career? Is she just meant to drop everything to be by his side always because he’s Zac Efron? Sheesh. It might actually be a good thing the distance, let them see if this really something that will last despite the hard times. If we’re never tested then we’ll never really know what we’re made of right?
yaaaaaaaaaay

I’m not the one to say “don’t do it Zac, don’t!”
But, how do you make a decision saying,
“I don’t think I will do anymore musicals - I want to be taken seriously as an actor.”
I love you Zac, and I’ll say that again -
I LOVE YOU ZAC EFRON!
But, what the eff?
[kids go on this website so I won't say F***]
I know you said “don’t think” but wtf?
It’s not my decision, but I think….
Nay.
Zachary; you didn’t even sing in the first High School Musical.
You gotta be a triple threat to be on Broadway.
Even in the UK.
I know you sing now, but I feel so bad for the ones that have been sing all there life, and don’t have the chance.
Nay, Zac, nay.
I still love you as a fan but,
ZAC!

“Good luck on Broadway!”

if this is true, it is great news. weber is a great contact to have. you can tell zac is ready to move on.
although i do wish it was for a more serious role.
i’ll fly any where to see him perform.
to play a lead in a london musical is great honour. if this one is good go for it zac!
Why? Why not do films instead? Even if you wanna do it in london!
not liking this rumour
