Joseph Raises £600k for Children in Need

Andrew Lloyd Webber is delighted to announce that _Joseph_ and _Any Dream Will Do_ have raised a staggering £600,000 for this year’s BBC Children in Need.

The money was raised from various activites including two special charity performances of _Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat_, the telephone votes cast during _Any Dream Will Do_ and the sales of the Joseph single.

Andrew Lloyd Webber, who handed over the cheque to Terry Wogan as part of BBC1′s live appeal night, said: “A huge thank you to Lee, the viewers and everyone at Joseph who have worked so hard fundraising for this year’s BBC _Children in Need_. It is a fantastic sum of money and really will make difference to disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.”

Lee Mead kicked off last night’s BBC1 extravaganza with a nationwide singalong, before rushing back to the Adelphi Theatre for the second of the Children in Need charity performances of _Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat_.
