The bigger surprise is Jac Yarrow, who made his West End debut when the production opened in 2019. He looks like a chiselled biblical superhero in his coat of many colours and belts out ballads that rival the power of Burke’s, including a soaring rendition of Close Every Door. A heartbroken Joseph laments his situation (" Close Every Door"). Two prisoners, both former servants of the Pharaoh, are put in his cell. Joseph interprets their strange dreams and predicts the Butler will return to Pharaoh's service, while the Baker will be executed. As Joseph questions his predictions, the other prisoners encourage Joseph to follow his own dreams ("Go, Go Joseph").
