Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

In this retelling of the Biblical story, Joseph (played by Luke Loseby) is a handsome young man who is his father's favorite child, able to interpret dreams, and the bearer of an amazing coat. These facts lead Joseph's eleven brothers to become insatiably jealous. Thus, they sell Joseph into slavery to some passing Ishmaelites. After refusing the advances of his owner's wife, Joseph is sent to jail. Once in jail, he quickly becomes popular due to his ability to interpret dreams. The Pharaoh soon hears of Joseph's ability and appoints him to the post of Number Two man in Egypt. Years later, Joseph's now starving brothers arrive in Egypt and ask Joseph, whom they don't recognise, for assistance. Joseph, in turn, gives his brothers a scare, but eventually grants them all they desire, reveals his identity, and reunites the family.

Notable in the composition of the music are the variety of Styles used by Lloyd Webber, including
Parodies of French ballads (“Those Canaan Days”) Elvis inspired rock and roll (“Song of the King”), Western (“One More Angel in Heaven”), 1920’s ragtime (“Potiphar’), and Disco (“Go Go Go Joseph”). Other songs featured are “Close Every Door” and “Any Dream Will Do”

With Direction from the talented Melinda Willson (Footloose) , Musical Director Peter Sampson (Anything Goes) and Choregraphy from Karen Charles ( Guys and Dolls) this Trio has made the story of Joseph come to life.
