The latest revival of the show, starring newcomer Lee Mead, takes place at the West End's Adelphi Theatre, and features the work of award-winning sound designer Mick Potter, who created a Meyer Sound loudspeaker system provided by London-based audio equipment sales and rental company Orbital Sound.
The main system for the Adelphi Theatre performances features 12 Meyer Sound M'elodie loudspeakers per side, along with four 600-HP and four 700-HP subwoofers per side.
"Working on a show like Joseph is quite different from a typical pop concert," says Potter, a veteran of West End and Broadway productions such as The Sound of Music, Evita, The Woman in White and Bombay Dreams. "The dynamics can range from very soft, where we're almost pretending the actors aren't amplified at all, to rock concert levels. M'elodie is very transparent and consistent at all levels."
