The Millennial Theatre Company Presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Youngstown Playhouse
YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) will present Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at The Youngstown Playhouse (600 Playhouse Lane, Youngstown, OH 44511) on July 11-13, 18-20, with Friday and Saturday performances at 7:30 PM and Sunday performances at 2:30 PM.
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 the 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 Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.
Director of the production, Joe Asente, says that even if you have seen Joseph before, you will still find new surprises in this production, "We knew going into this that Youngstown audiences were very familiar with this show. Between the universally beloved Donny Osmond film version, and the rich history of this show being produced locally on a Broadway-scale by our friends at Easy Street Productions, there was a built-in expectation of what audiences would want to see from this show. We tried very hard to honor and meet those expectations, while also sprinkling in a few of our own new, creative twists throughout. Without giving too much away, we have gone in new directions with several of our characters by updating some of their references to help entertain our contemporary audience in ways that they may not expect. We hope audiences will come and see this new take on Joseph and come experience this show and be surprised by it in new and exciting ways!"
Asente continued that Joseph is the perfect summer musical, "In the summer, we always try to program shows that you can bring your kids and family to, and there are few musicals more family-oriented than Joseph. There is truly something for everyone in this musical from its highfalutin' cowboy numbers, to its energetic disco numbers and catchy tunes. It is the perfect summer escape, with an incredibly talented cast to boot!"
