The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable by Webber (Cats, The Phantom of the Opera) and Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, Beauty and the Beast). Joseph is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams, and is his father’s favorite son. Jealousy prompts his eleven brothers to fake his death and sell him into slavery in far-off Egypt. Joseph endures a series of trials where his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. Set in an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country and western to calypso to bubble-gum pop to classic (Elvis!) rock and roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.
