Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat at New Victoria Theatre

Why see Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat?

Go Go Go Joseph

It's back! After sell-out runs in London's West End, Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat is being donned once more for a fantastic jaunt around the country. Having now surpassed its 50th birthday musical theatre fans will be delighted that Joseph and his extravagant threads are back on stage where they belong once more.

First fashioned as a musical concept album that was performed at Colet Court School, the success of the duo's next venture, Jesus Christ Superstar, saw a revival of interest in the show, with its first West End production following in 1973.

Since then, it has gone on to become an international megahit, a highly sought-after show that sees productions range from glitzy theatrical juggernauts to delightful local concerts, all capturing the magic of ALW and Tim Rice's exuberant music and storytelling.

The Story Of Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

With songs ranging from hopeful ballads (Any Dream Will Do) to vaudeville and rock'n'roll infused confections (King of My Heart and Benjamin Calypso among many others), Joseph tells the story as written in Genesis, of the youngest brother of 12 and the extraordinary journey he is sent on when his siblings set out to kill him for being his father's favourite. From attempted murder victim to pet of the Pharaoh of Egypt, Joseph soars with his singular talent of being able to interpret dreams and predict the future. But don't let all that murder stuff put you off, this is a joyful show brimming with heart, hope and a lot of showbiz pizazz!

Totally Brilliant

Seen Joseph many times. This blew every other time out if the water. The whole cast was outstanding. The production was unbelievable. I find kids on stage ok but in small doses..these kids were sensational. Joseph was totally amazing as was Narrator and Pharoah. I’ll remember this for a long time. Well done all. Brilliant. ...

Firstly, I’m not sure why this website allows someone to multiple copy/ paste a review for a show under many different names because they didn’t like the kids beards. It a shame because it lowers the average score, and perhaps denies a family having THE BEST night in a theatre that they could possible have … we all absolutely loved it, and thought it was 10/10zz ...

I’m going again!

I wasn’t sure if I’d like the more modern twist on this show but after getting used to the slapstick of the narrator, I loved it! I couldn’t really tell what JasonD was singing but it was still fun. I really liked Jacob’s sons and the little bits of humour here and there were great! Fantastic set with an AMAZING conductor and orchestra. ... Read more
