JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT Comes to the Warner

Sha la la Joseph you're doing fine! You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time! The Warner Stage Company will present one of the most enduring shows of all time, JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, on the Main Stage July 27-August 4, 2019.

The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice collaboration is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors. Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph.

After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar's wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph's solution to Egypt's famine elevates him to Pharaoh's right-hand man and reunites him with his family.

The magical musical is full of catchy songs in a variety of styles, from a parody of French ballads ( Those Canaan Days ), to country-western ( One More Angel in Heaven ) and calypso ( Benjamin Calypso ), along with the unforgettable classics Any Dream Will Do and Close Every Door. Performances are July 27, August 2 & 3 at 8 pm and July 28 & August 4 at 2 pm.

The Warner Stage Company production is directed and choreographed by Meredith Porri with musical direction by Dan Porri. The cast features Katie Cummings, Noel Roberge, Christopher Roberge, Hal Chernoff, Bret Bisaillon, Joe Guttadauro, Frank Beaudry, Lou Oporto, Tony Leone, Austin Tewksbury, Cole Urso, Robbie James, Ruben Soto, Dylan Zawisza, Trecia Austin, Kaitlyn Anthony, Lynn Beard, Momo Burns-Min, Margaret Buzak, Grace Consonni, Emily Flynn, Katie Leone, Lilliana McGrath, Kelsey Morris, Reyna Santiago, Riley Delaney, Ethan Hannon, Kathleen Lundgren, Taryn McCloud and Katie Tewskbury.
