Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor® Dreamcoat

Lyrics by Tim Rice
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was the second musical theatre show written by the team of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. (The first was "The Likes of Us", a show which was written in 1965 but which did not receive its first stage performance until 2005). Though an early 20-minute long version was performed in 1968 by the Colet Court School in London, and the show immediately began to grow and evolve, it wasn't produced on Broadway until 1982, where it played for 749 performances.

In this retelling of the Biblical story, Joseph is a handsome young man who is his father's favorite child, able to interpret dreams, and the bearer of an amazing coat. These facts lead Joseph's eleven brothers to become jealous and they sell him into slavery. Because of Joseph's charm and goodness, he rises through the ranks of slaves to a position of power, and is able to help his brothers and reunite his family.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a lighthearted, family-friendly show with catchy tunes and lots of visual fun. Because of this, it's one of the most reliably successful shows in musical theater history, and has many successful professional productions with stars ranging from Donny Osmond to Rikki Lee Travolta, as well as having been performed in over 20,000 schools and community theaters.
