Disco Bible drama at its dreamiest – Joseph turns scripture into showbiz.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a vibrant, high-energy stage musical that bursts with colour, joy, and theatrical flair. With witty lyrics by Tim Rice and an eclectic, infectious score by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the show is a timeless retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, Jacob’s favourite son and his journey from betrayal to triumph.
 
The story follows Joseph after he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. From being a servant in the house of Egyptian noble Potiphar to landing in jail under false accusations, Joseph’s fortune changes when he discovers his gift for dream interpretation. This talent brings him before the flamboyant Pharaoh, a hilarious Elvis-style showman, ultimately leading Joseph to become Pharaoh’s trusted advisor and, finally, to a heartfelt reunion with his brothers and father.
