LIVERMORE, CA–Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2019, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is the irresistible family musical about the trials and triumphs of Joseph, Israel’s favorite son. Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows the preferred son Joseph. 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.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is an audience favorite show. The music is an eclectic group of songs that cover Country-Western, Calypso, French Chanson, Elvis-style rock and Pop. The show is fast paced, the dance numbers are big and lots of fun. There is a children’s choir that remains on stage and is incorporated into the show. And as always with Tri-Valley Repertory Theatre, make sure to leave some extra time after the show to stay in the lobby since many cast members come out to meet the audience after each performance.
