Maltz Jupiter Theatre Presents JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT 11/29-12/18

With the award-winning musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat less than two weeks away from its debut on the Maltz Jupiter Theatre stage, the Theatre has several unique ticket options specifically for children and their families.

Much like popular timeless favorites The Sound of Music and Annie, the show is a beloved musical that continues to draw thousands of fans to its performances each year all over the world.

And the benefits of the family theatergoing experience run deep. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, children who attend live theater gain appreciation for the arts and increased awareness of social and cultural values, history and the human experience.

With performances November 29 through December 18, the show offers a colorful retelling of the Biblical story of Joseph, his coat of many colors and his amazing ability to interpret dreams. When Joseph's brothers become jealous of their father's favoritism, they send him away - and a magical story of forgiveness and redemption within a fractured family unfolds.

"This musical was chosen with families in mind," said Andrew Kato, artistic director. "In addition to 18 professional performers, the Theatre has included 240 local children in the show's children's ensemble, cast through a series of high-profile First Step to Stardom auditions during the spring and fall. Groups of 30 will perform during each performance."

Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice, the musical features a pastiche of musical styles and showcases a full orchestra, more than 100 dazzling costumes, colorful lighting and a whimsical set.

"The show is an eye-popping, stunning presentation that is infectiously fun and joyful," said Mark Martino, the show's director. "The ideal audience is one that is coming in and looking to have an entertaining, high-energy experience with their family."
