For me, the show is ALL about this song. Lee sang it completely as I would have directed it. Such a perfect combination of vulnerability and strength. It's such a beautiful and rich and complex song because he just goes on a journey from beaten to hopeful. When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.
Lee Best Joseph Ever. He is playing it wth passion. Telling his captors he will never be defeated. His God is with him. He is reflective and still just prior, very introspective and then wakes to this realiztion. You have to see it in context. Not necessarily to make him sad. Its passion. I love it. And his voice.
This is my favourite version of 'Close Every Door'. Lee brings so much power and emotion to the song even in this short clip. I've just finished listening to his new album 'Nothing Esle Matters' and am loving it as well - especially 'Through the Barricades' which really shows off his voice.
Know I’m really late (like 13 years😂) but this song is really important to me as my grandparents are from Israel so when I feel down I listen to this (plus I love lee as Joseph!!)
This clip brings back very happy memories of seeing Lee sing this song in the West End show! This was filmed during one of the shows early previews so it is interesting to see how Lee was able to develop his performance. He has such a powerful voice that really fills the theatre and the intensity he brings to his protrayal of prisoner Joseph is quite remarkable. I look forward to seeing Lee in new roles - hopefully soon!
Many singers fave beautiful voices, most of them have a verry sofisticated technic but only the performance of Lee Mead can convulse my soul. That's the difefrence between somthing blessed by God and something briliant regarding the human measures.
This particular version of Joseph won Best Revival at the Whatsonstage awards. The video of Joseph won an award as did the show for light entertainment. Lee has won Outstanding New Talent and Favourite Theatre Actor in the People's choice awards. Daniel has done well indeed :)
This was 5 years ago this June, and his talent shows even more now. He is reaching his full potential. His concert in February at the Birmingham Symphony Hall was outstanding. Love Songs, Musical Theatre and Pop. It was great.
i went to london a few years ago to see joseph, and found out that it was lee's week off when we got there! but ive just seen him in wicked so ive finally got to see him :) i think he'sbrilliant
Lee !! Hij is zó geweldig, knap, charmant etc. en de allerbeste joseph tot nu toe!!! echt geweldig, en dit zingt ie práchtig!!! ik ben geloof ik verliefd... :P
ha this is amazing, shivers up my spine. He's singin wonderful and I love the kids singing in the background. I saw the show in London it was all magic and Martin Clunes was sitting in row in front of us :)
Just hung about between performances on Wednesday and got lucky 'cos not the usual scrum out front!Mind you it has been a long time coming i missed him by seconds last year!!!:0)
Duimen maar dan dat wij in Nederland ook zo'n charismatische Joseph kunnen vinden. Eind augustus komt de zoektocht naar Joseph op de TV zoals we ook 'op zoek naar Evita' hadden ... In case you are not able to go to London to see 'Joseph' just keep your fingers crossed we can find such a 'Joseph' as Lee is in our own search of 'Joseph' which will air at the end of August !!! Opening night of the dutch version of this musical will be sometime in December of this year !!!
Seen him 4 times (I know sad) but he's so brilliant and the show is fab. Saw him outside afterwards and he was great with the fans (shame some of them are a bit greedy) but he was the best. We love you Lee. X X X
I love this clip! It brings back very happy memories of seeing Lee for the first time as Joseph back in September 2007. He not only has the voice for the big finish but is also a very strong actor - he brought so much to the role. I'm now looking forward to seeing Lee in his straight acting debut next year in the Oscar Wilde play 'Lord Arthur Savile's Crime'. Should be fun!
This was recorded in preview time. His version just got better and better in the 18 months he was Joseph. ALW called him possibly the best Joseph ever.

Came back in 2024 to listen to this.
Sorry guys I have to disagree, its a totally different interpretation. I love it. He shows his anger and that he will not dispair. They are different.
MusicalTheatre1011 Fucking THANK YOU! It's not a competition
How I love Lee Mead singing this. Angry, strong and great voice.
I will be forever thankful to Andrew Lloyd Weber for this music-- so humble and yet so great!
I can't stop watching the key change at the end of lees and donnys version
It's too good
Oh Yes!!
I think I'm addicted to this clip! I love Lee's version of Close Every Door. He really acts the song, as well as singing it with great power.

Best Joseph was Donny

Any Dream Will Do is two years old. Lee finished in Joseph on 10th January 2009.
every night I'm dreaming of the last "land" he sings at the very end...iconic
