WEST End star Lee Mead will take to the road next year as he embarks upon The Love Tour, an exclusive seven date nationwide tour.

The tousle-haired singer will be joined by his band and West End star Louise Dearman to perform a collection of love songs and hits from his new album.

The show arrives at the Bournemouth Pavilion on February 11 next year, with tickets on sale now.

Lee shot to fame when he won the BBC’s Any Dream Will Do TV show, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s search to find the lead in his production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

He subsequently enjoyed a successful run in this hit musical at the Adelphi Theatre, which was acclaimed by audiences and critics alike. Since then he has played Fiyero in Wicked and more recently Emmett in Legally Blonde.
