Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Kirkland Fine Arts Center
Fri, Apr 11 – Sun, Apr 13, 2025
1184 West Main Street, Decatur, IL 62522
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, 11 siblings and the coat of many colors.
Told entirely through song with the help of a main character narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph through his trials and tribulations. 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.
This magical musical is full of 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, it’s fun for the whole family!
