Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Dec 2-18, 2022
Directed by Jen Friedman
Musical Director Betsy VanBenthuysen
Choreographer Cavin Moore
“Sha la la, Joseph, you’re doing fine! You and your dreamcoat, ahead of your time!” One of the most enduring family-friendly musicals of all time, it is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors. Told entirely through song with the help of a Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph who, after being sold into slavery by his brothers, ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family. 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.”
The production has sponsorship support from several community-supporting businesses, organizations and individuals. The main “Presenting” Sponsor is Chesapeake Bank and Trust. Additional support is provided by our “Producing” sponsor For All Seasons, with concessions sponsorship support from Joel and Jill Tolbert.
