2. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Lyrics by Tim Rice Music by Andrew Lloyd WebberSha la la, Joseph, youre doing fine! You and your dreamcoat, ahead of your time! One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors.Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphars wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Josephs solution to Egypts famine elevates him to Pharaohs right-hand man and reunites him with his family.The magical musical is full of catchy songs in a variety of styles, from a parody of French ballads (Those Canaan Days), to country-western (One More Angel in Heaven) and calypso (Benjamin Calypso), along with the unforgettable classics Any Dream Will Do and Close Every Door.JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Really Useful Group. www.concordtheatricals.comPerformancesFRIDAY, JULY 15 7:30 PMSATURDAY, JULY 16 2:00 AND 7:30 PMSUNDAY, JULY 17 2:00 PMFRIDAY, JULY 22 7:30 PMSATURDAY, JULY 23 2:00 AND 7:30 PMSUNDAY, JULY 24 2:00 PM
