It was decided that the only way to “follow that” was to go for something completely different. It was unanimously decided to do “Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” for our 2002 production and was staged on 9th to 12th October.
To ensure that it was something completely different to anything done previously, it was staged long ways down the hall. This entailed building a stage and rigging lighting. The show was a spectacular success and sold out on all four nights.
SYNOPSIS
In this retelling of the Biblical story, Joseph is a handsome young man who is his father's favourite child, able to interpret dreams, and the bearer of an amazing coat. These facts lead Joseph's eleven brothers to become insatiably jealous. Thus, they sell Joseph into slavery to some passing Ishmaelites. After refusing the advances of his owner's wife, Joseph is sent to jail. Once in jail, he quickly becomes popular due to his ability to interpret dreams. The Pharaoh soon hears of Joseph's ability and appoints him to the post of Number Two man in Egypt. Years later, Joseph's now starving brothers arrive in Egypt and ask Joseph, whom they don't recognize, for assistance. Joseph, in turn, gives his brothers a scare, but eventually grants them all they desire, reveals his identity, and reunites the family. Dancing in the show requires all types of styles.
