Why see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat?

I close my eyes

A seminal, worldwide hit, audiences are still in love with Joseph and his coat of many colors, the 1973 musical from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Based on the story in Genesis, Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat is the fable of lost innocence, jealousy and the power of redemption, set to the instantly recognizable genre mixing score!

Joseph is the ultimate family show and we dare you not to be caught up in the infectious melodies of 'Any Dream Will Do' Close Every Door,' and many more songs that make this one of the world's most popular classics.

Poor Poor Joseph what you gonna do?

Joseph is the 12th and favourite son of Jacob, a poor farmer who dotes on the sensitive and clever boy. To show his devotion, Jacob bestows him with a marvellous coat of many colors, which enrages his other brothers. Incredibly jealous, they hatch a plot to get rid of him, taking his coat and selling him as a slave to some passing Ishmaelites.

Enduring more trouble, Joseph finds himself in jail. When all hope seems lost, he discovers something extraordinary; he can interpret dreams. Suddenly, he finds himself in the service of the Pharaoh, who's heard about his talents, and wants his help!

Joseph & the Technicolor Dreamcoat

I had no idea what to expect. I'd never heard any of the music. All I knew was that once Donny Osmond played Joseph. I'd never been to the Pantages Theater, either. So, my first impression was one of awe at the beauty of the venue, the wonder of what is probably a lost art when it comes to the woodcarving of the lovely ceiling. On to the show! I was delighted by everything I saw & heard. This show had me laughing frequently. I found it to be very witty. I found myself wishing I could have a coat like Joseph's. My seat was in the very last row, left of stage center, yet my view was great! Sound was superb as well. I have to say, this was the fastest that 2 hours have ever passed for me. ... Read more

Disappointed they changed the Cast

I was so excited to see Diana Degarmo and Ace Young in this musical. Lo and Behold, there were "unknowns" playing their parts. Don't advertise them if they aren't going to be there! Their stand-ins were good, but I still wanted to see the American Idol performers, I paid a lot of money for good tickets - I should be reimbursed half of what I paid. ... Read more
