Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (colloquially known as Joseph) is
a sung-through musical by Tim Rice (lyrics) and Andrew Lloyd Webber
(music). "Sha la la, Joseph, you’re 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, the Narrator,
the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After he is sold into slavery by
his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends
up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s 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. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s
right-hand man and reunites him with his family.

It was the first Lloyd Webber/Rice musical to be publicly performed and
their first ever collaboration. *Joseph* started out as a 15 minute vocal
cantata in the early 1970’s and became a full length musical in early
1980’s. It has received 6 Tony Award nominations including Best musical and
Best original score. This 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.”

Hathaway Brown Theatre Institutes production will be directed and
choreographed by Bebe Weinberg Katz, with musical Direction by John Krol. A
full synopsis of the entire story is available on the Concord Theatrical
