Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.
The show ran on Broadway for a lengthy time and
was made into a movie with Donnie Osmond.
The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many
colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical
parable. Joseph, his father's favorite son, is a boy
blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into
slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt,
Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his
spirit and humanity are continually challenged. He is
purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances
from Potiphar's wife lands him in jail. When news of
Joseph's gift to interpret dreams reaches the
Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis),
Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in
command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered
greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the
feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer
recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals
himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the
sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of
musical styles, from country-western and calypso to
bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament
tale emerges both timely and timeless.
