Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's
Since its first production 40 years ago, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has grown. In terms of audience appreciation, it has grown to be one of the most enduring and endearing shows of all time. And it has grown in the actual length and content of the production. Based on the "Coat of many colors" story of Joseph, his father Jacob and his 11 brothers from The Book of Genesis, this light-hearted show was first presented as a fifteen-minute pop cantata at Colet Court school in London on March 1, 1968. It's the second musical written by the now famous team of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, and it was the first of their musicals to actually be performed. No longer a pop cantata, The Players' production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will feature at least 20 musical numbers from both the original production and the many revised stagings since the original production. If you have seen Joseph in the past, you can be sure that it will be bigger and better when you see it in the future. This is one of the remarkable features of what has become a timeless experience. The Players' production will, of course, continue this tradition. Please join us as "With a crash of drums and a flash of light," Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat explodes onto the Shannondell Performing Arts Center stage to become the first Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice piece that The Players have ever produced. It certainly will not be the last. |
