The
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber classic Family Musical:
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 (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis Presley), Joseph
is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his
brothers, having suffered greatly, 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 bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament
tale emerges both timely and timeless.
