About
Join Theatre Royal Wakefield for the musical classic, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!
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 colours.
Joseph – the favourite son of Jacob – is blessed with vivid dreams that foretell the future. Sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, Joseph endures a series of adventures which challenge him to his core. Soon he finds himself belonging to Potiphar, whose wife makes advances toward Joseph and ultimately land him behind bars. However, news of Joseph’s ability to interpret dreams sparks the interest of the hilariously Elvis-like Pharaoh. Soon, Joseph is out of jail and well on his way to second-in-command. Eventually Joseph’s brothers find themselves unknowingly grovelling at the feet of the brother they betrayed. As they fail to even recognise him, Joseph tests their integrity. He ultimately reveals himself and the brothers are reconciled.
The 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.
This is an amateur production by arrangement with The Really Useful Group Ltd.
