JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT TOUR
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will embark on a second UK tour at end of this yaar ,
Making his first UK appearance in a stage version of the production, global entertainment icon and highly-celebrated alumni star of Joseph, Donny Osmond returns to play ‘Pharaoh’, at Edinburgh who rocks ‘Song of the King’ in the iconic musical. Joe McElderry will play the role in Sunderland and Newcastle.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has become one of the world’s most iconic musicals. Told entirely through song with the help of the Narrator, the show follows the story of Jacob’s favourite son Joseph and his 11 brothers.
After being sold into slavery by the brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the 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 showman, the Pharaoh. As Joseph strives to resolve Egypt’s famine, he becomes Pharaoh’s right-hand man and eventually reunites with his family. This magical musical is full of unforgettable songs including Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door To Me and One More Angel.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is directed by Laurence Connor. Laurence’s credits include the acclaimed London production of School of Rock and the Tony-Award nominated production on Broadway, the recent London productions of Miss Saigon, Chess and Cinderella, the international arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar and he is also the Co-Director of the new version of Les Misérables which has enjoyed worldwide success including Broadway, UK and US tours.
JoAnn M Hunter (who has 20 Broadway shows to her credit, including School of Rock and On A Clear Day You Can See Forever) is the show’s choreographer, set and costume design are by the award-winning Morgan Large with Ben Cracknell as Lighting Designer and Gareth Owen as Sound Designer.
