The standout performances of the cast are certainly impressive, but even more so was the cohesion and chemistry of the entire ensemble. […] The orchestra and cast were almost perfectly in-sync the entire show, combining the cast’s performances with some difficult musical numbers. […] Feeling and doing good makes others feel and do good: the basis of a strong community. This idea is at the heart of Stone Soup’s latest production. Whether it’s laughing along to French accents and Elvis impersonations, or enjoying being with a community, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat reminds us to keep around those who make us smile.

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, eleven brothers, and the coat of many colors, told entirely through song.

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 Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right hand and reunites him with his family.

This magical musical is full of catchy 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, Joseph is performed hundreds of times a year by groups around the world.
