About Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor* Dreamcoat
In this retelling of the Biblical story, Joseph 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, and they sell Joseph into slavery.  After refusing the
advances of his owner's wife, Joseph is sent to jail, where 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 recognize, for assistance.  Joseph, in turn, gives
his brothers a scare, but eventually grants them all they desire, reveals
his identity, and reunites the family.
