Dream musical continues to thrill
audiences
 By Grainne McLoughlin
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
The longstanding musical success Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
is set to transfer to Cork’s Opera House from Dublin’s Gaiety
Theatre.
With rave reviews and several British tours behind them, the musical is
set to delight its Cork audiences with its non-stop action and songs.
Designed by Irishman Sean Cavanagh, Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat was originally written for a London school’s end of term
concert but when it proved such a success Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim
Rice decided to add to it. Retelling the Biblical story of Joseph, his
11 brothers and the coat of many colours the show went on to become a
West End hit and currently remains one of the world’s most successfully
performed musicals. It’s now been running on the West End for nearly
12 years.
While the 2004 West End run continues Joseph takes its new production
on the road again.
After the success of Joseph Webber and Rice went on to collaborate on
musicals Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita.
Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is playing until February
25.
