Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat is a re-imagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colours.

After being sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph 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.

The popular tale will be brought to life by Dryburn Theatrical Workshop.

Lee Passmoor, Chairman of Dryburn Theatrical Workshop, said: “‘Joseph is a hugely popular musical, full of catchy and memorable songs, from a parody of French ballads, to country-western and calypso, as well as the unforgettable classics Any Dream Will Do and Close Every Door. A blast of family fun from start to finish.”
