Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat^©

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Tim Rice

About the Show:
The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber (The Phantom of the Opera, Cats) and lyricist Tim Rice (Evita, The Lion King) have created a score which is 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.
