Zac Efron to star in West End show Joseph

Actor wants to replace Lee Mead in musical

Zac Efron stars in High School Musical

Zac Efron is being lined up to star in West End show Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The High School Musical heartthrob, 20, apparently got in touch with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber about replacing Lee Mead next year.

‘It is a marriage made in musical heaven,’ a source tells the Sunday Mirror.

‘Zac loves the role and is keen to clock up some stage time in London.

'For Hollywood actors a spell in the West End offers credibility and can be extremely lucrative.’

Lee, 27, who won the BBC's Any Dream Will Do, will quit in January to go on the road with stage show Jesus Christ Superstar.

He is currently dating Denise Van Outen, 34.
