Fort Wayne Civic Theatre Takes Final Bow of JOSEPH on 3/21

The Fort Wayne Civic Theatre will end its run of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT on March 21st. The production, featuring a score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, was directed by Eunice Wadewitz.

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT is a musical representation of Joseph from the Old Testament. Scorned for his flamboyant coat, a gift from his doting father, Joseph is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers.

He is enlisted to interpret the Pharaoh's dreams and emerges from Egyptian slavery to become the Pharaoh's right-hand man. He eventually determines the fate of his brothers after they beg him to spare their lives.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's music and Tim Rice's lyrics appeal to the adolescent in all of us. According to the New York Daily News, "...Webber and...Rice's Joseph is an exuberant revel, much like a fairy tale seen through a Barnum and Bailey filter." This production is a favorite among audiences everywhere.
