Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a vibrant musical that chronicles the life of Joseph, a dreamer blessed with the ability to interpret dreams. Favored by his father and envied by his brothers, Joseph's life is turned upside down when he is sold into slavery in Egypt.
Despite his hardships, Joseph rises from slavery to become the pharaoh's trusted advisor, ultimately facing a dramatic reunion with his family. The story, set to a variety of musical styles, highlights themes of forgiveness, resilience, and destiny.
"This thrilling musical adventure brings to life the Biblical story of Joseph, the favoured son with prophetic dreams, who embarks on a journey to Egypt after being sold into slavery by his brothers," says Van Biljon.
"Audiences will be treated to a captivating mix of musical styles, ranging from country-western to calypso, bubble-gum pop to rock 'n' roll. The production features popular songs like 'Go, Go, Go Joseph' and 'Any Dream Will Do,' performed by a young, vibrant and brilliant cast. This timeless tale of Joseph offers surprising humour for adults and dazzling delights for children."
