This unique show retells the story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis, but with a modern twist. It's a full-fledged musical, with the entire story sung through by the characters and a narrator.
Joseph is the favored son of Jacob, gifted with a spectacular "coat of many colors." This sparks jealousy amongst his brothers, who eventually sell him into slavery. Despite his hardships, Joseph rises to prominence in Egypt, using his talents to interpret dreams. Years later, a famine strikes, and Joseph's brothers come to him for help, leading to a powerful moment of forgiveness and reconciliation.
With a playful and catchy score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is perfect for audiences of all ages. Songs like "Go, Go, Go Joseph," "Any Dream Will Do," and of course, the title song "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" are guaranteed to get stuck in your head.
