His charm, smile, honesty, loving nature, his innocence and killer good looks and body are the cause for his brother’s scorn. Seeking a charismatic young singer/actor who can take us on Joseph’s journey –from innocent and naive dreams, to deepest despair, to loving forgiveness, and ultimately to glorious triumph with a powerful pop voice that soars with emotion and power. NARRATOR (Soprano - 20’s-30’s) – The storyteller. A warm, wise, loving guide to Joseph’s story. Seeking a versatile female singer/actor with a huge and thrilling belt voice who can guide us on our journey with tons of heart. PHARAOH (mid 20’s to late 30’s) – comic The most powerful man in Egypt, Pharaoh is considered a god (goddess) on earth. Should be an outgoing, engaging entertainer, able to take the stage and connect with an audience. Singer/actor with good comic timing. Normally done in an “Elvis Presley” style, we are open to other interpretations, i.e, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Tina Turner etc. ) JACOB/POTIPHAR (Baritone - 40’s-50’s) – comic character actor/singer doubling in two diametrically opposite roles: 1) Jacob-the loving, but shortsighted, father of Joseph who causes the brothers’ jealousy with his unwitting favoritism and 2) Potiphar – the decidedly “upper crust” Egyptian millionaire with a philandering wife who has eyes for Joseph-Potiphar is an effete comical presence ...until he is cuckolded and flies into a rage that lands Joseph in prison JOSEPH’S BROTHERS: (early 20’s to early 30’s) - all 11 brothers must be terrific triple threats – great pop singers with excellent harmony skills, accomplished and athletic dancers (acrobatics and tumbling a big plus), and detailed and convincing actors able to create highly individual personas for each of these 11 brothers. In addition, three of the brothers will double in other roles (BUTLER, BAKER, PHARAOH) as noted below: REUBEN: (Baritone) the eldest son and de facto leader of the gang. Sings: “Those Canaan Days” in a broad French accent ... needs great comic chops SIMEON: (Tenor) son #2 doubles as “BUTLER” – an imprisoned and very proper English butler seeking Joseph’s dream advice...good British accent LEVI: (Baritone) son #3 Sings: “One More Angel in Heaven” as a country-western sob song...needs a funny and genuine “twang” NAPHTALI: (Tenor) son #4 doubles as “BAKER” – an imprisoned working class baker seeking Joseph’s dream advice...any “lower class” accent ISSACHAR: son #5 ASHER: son #6 DAN: son #7 ZEBULON: son #8 GAD: son #9 JUDAH: son #10 the “tropical” son...Sings: “Benjamin Calypso” with a tropical island vibe...very Harry Belafonte BENJAMIN: the youngest and most innocent of the brothers...when he is accused as a thief it is truly shocking THE WIVES, THE ISHMAELITE’S, THE ADORING GIRLS, ETC: (20’s) – these 4 women form our entire ensemble and so must each be an amazing pop singer (will need to cover all female vocal lines with just these 4 girls so each woman will be alone on a part the entire show), each must be a highly skilled dancer in a variety of styles, and all women need to look terrific in very revealing “Egyptian” showgirl costumes (think bare midriffs, bra tops and lots of leg) In addition, one wife will double (Mrs. Potiphar) as noted below: WIFE #1 : (Alto) Excellent singer (1st Alto)/ Excellent Dancer doubles as “MRS. POTIPHAR” – the super sexy (a little sleazy even) cheating wife of Potiphar. Can’t keep her hands off Joseph’s fab pecs and abs. Mrs. Potiphar is smoking hot and she knows it...a dangerous and leggy seductress who won’t take no for an answer WIFE #2: Excellent singer (1st Soprano-sings obbligato aria in “One More Angel in Heaven”)/ Excellent Dancer WIFE #3: Excellent singer (2nd Soprano)/ Excellent Dancer WIFE #4: Excellent singer (2nd Alto)/ Excellent Dancer
