Dreamcoat Stars at The Fire Station Sunderland

Dreamcoat Stars at The Fire Station Sunderland on Wednesday 16 September 2026 brings together performers with direct links to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for a concert that reaches well beyond one musical. The show starts at 7.30pm, with doors opening at 7pm.

The idea is simple but gives the night plenty of room to move. Four singers who have performed in Joseph take on a programme drawn from major West End and touring favourites, so the set can shift from big ensemble-style numbers to songs that rely more heavily on individual vocals.

The repertoire draws from shows including Les Misérables, We Will Rock You, The Greatest Showman, Dirty Dancing, The Rocky Horror Show, Saturday Night Fever, Mamma Mia! and Jersey Boys. That gives the concert a broad musical-theatre range rather than turning it into a single-show nostalgia night.

There is an obvious Joseph connection running through the cast, but the appeal is really in hearing voices shaped by that production tackle songs from very different corners of musical theatre. A rock-driven number from We Will Rock You needs a different attack from the emotional sweep of Les Misérables, while Jersey Boys and Saturday Night Fever bring another change of pace again.

The Fire Station is a good fit for that kind of concert. It gives the singers a proper live-music room rather than placing the show inside a traditional proscenium theatre, which should help the evening feel closer to a gig built from musical-theatre songs than a staged musical trying to recreate scenes.

The show information notes that under-14s must be accompanied by an adult. Doors open at 7pm and the performance is scheduled for 7.30pm, so anyone heading into Sunderland specifically for the concert has a straightforward timetable to work from.
