It has been revealed that Joe Pasquale will make his West End musical debut when he takes over as King Arthur in Spamalot later this month. Joe will follow the footsteps of Stephen Tompkinson, Jon Culshaw and Marcus Brigstocke when he joins the show on 17th June 2013 for a six week run at the Playhouse Theatre. He will star opposite the legendary Bonnie Langford who continues as The Lady of the Lake.
Joe has previously appeared in touring productions of Mel Brooks' The Producers, The Wizard of Oz and Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. As well as numerous live stand up shows he has appeared in six Royal Variety Performances and won the fourth series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Joe said "I've known Bonnie Langford since we worked together doing Peter Pan in 2000. The Spamalot Knights recently strong-armed Bonnie into joining twitter and she amassed over 1,000 followers in her first week. When I saw she had joined up I sent her a message to welcome her as we'd lost touch for years. She invited me to see the show and I loved it so much that I went backstage afterwards to congratulate the cast. It was then that Bonnie said she thought I'd make a great King Arthur and the next thing that I knew, the show's producers spoke to my agent and it went from there very quickly."
