Noted for its family-friendly storyline, universal themes and catchy music, the show is a sentimental favorite of company founder and artistic director Kirsten Almeida. "Joseph allows both actor and audience to get lost in the show for 90 minutes." stated Almeida. The musical will be directed and choreographed by Kirsten Almeida, with music direction by Amanda Carol Pascale.

The first full-length musical by legendary theatrical team Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, Joseph is a retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, his devoted father, his jealous brothers, and his incredible series of adventures. The musical was only 20 minutes long when an unknown 19-year-old named Andrew Lloyd Webber first created it for a British school choir in 1968. He asked his friend Rice to write the lyrics and soon they expanded it to 40 minutes and took it to the London stage. Since then, Joseph has continued to grow, both in length and popularity.

Filled with youthful energy, Joseph combines a wide variety of musical styles - everything from country to calypso to rock 'n' roll - in a series of memorable musical numbers. Described as a high-voltage extravaganza, Joseph includes such classic songs as the contemplative "Any Dream Will Do," the Caribbean infused "Benjamin Calypso," the dazzling "Jacob and Sons/Joseph's Coat," the rockabilly sensation "Song of the King (Seven Fat Cows)" and the unforgettable "Go, Go, Go Joseph."

Joseph will be the largest cast to perform for Star of the Day with 31 cast members, including 8 local children in the youth ensemble. "The children add so much to this musical and they will gain valuable experience performing with our professional actors in the show," says Almeida. Starring as Joseph is Brian Foley, and the narrator will be played by Nina Elias who was last seen as Sandra Bloom in Big Fish The Musical. Paul Knappenberger plays Potiphar, Keith Moser is the Pharaoh, TEd Williams is Jacob and Catherine Logan is Mrs. Potiphar.
