Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Directed by Kevin Long
Music Direction by Beth Creighton
Produced in cooperation with the Millikin-Decatur Symphony Orchestra and Kirkland Fine Arts Center.
Join us as this musical theatre classic brings catchy songs that you’ll leave the theatre singing!
One of the most enduring shows of all time, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is a reimagining of the biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, 11 siblings and the coat of many colors. Produced in cooperation with the Millikin School of Theatre & Dance and the Millikin-Decatur Symphony Orchestra.
Told entirely through song with the help of a main character narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph through his trials and tribulations. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous 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, Elvis-inspired Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.
This magical musical is full of songs in a variety of styles, from a parody of French ballads (“Those Canaan Days”), to country-western (“One More Angel in Heaven”) and calypso (“Benjamin Calypso”), along with the unforgettable classics “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door.” Appropriate for all audiences and groups, it’s fun for the whole family!
This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
Tickets — $30 // $25 // $20 // Children $12*
*Discounted tickets for children, seniors, veterans, Millikin faculty and staff, and Richland faculty, staff and students not available online. Please visit the Ticket Office, Tuesday through Friday, noon to 4:30 p.m.
