Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics by Tim Rice

Based on the story of Joseph in the Book of Genesis

First performed in the 1960s as a church musical, Joseph’s story has become a community favorite, with more than 20,000 successful school and amateur productions performed over the years. Its plot, taken from the Book of Genesis, tells the story of Joseph, son of Jacob and the owner of the storied “coat of many colors.” The Narrator tells the story of Joseph (“a dreamer like you”) to a group of children, enlisting the help of Joseph and his brothers, Potiphar and Pharaoh, among others. With universal themes of forgiveness and hope, along with catchy and moving tunes such as “Jacob and Sons,” “Any Dream Will Do,” “Go, Go, Go Joseph” and “Close Every Door,” this upbeat musical entertains so well you’ll never realize it’s also teaching a lesson.
