<p><i>Joseph…</i> is the biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors
comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his
father’s favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he
is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph
endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are
continually challenged. He is purchased by Potiphar where thwarting
advances from Potiphar’s wife lands him in jail. When news of Joseph’s
gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh, Joseph is well on his way
to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers unknowingly find
themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no
longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself
leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an
engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso
to pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely
and timeless.</p>
