Synopsis:

Noosa Arts Theatre celebrates 30 years since its original production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with a spectacular new staging of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s much-loved musical. This sung-through, family-friendly show tells the story of Joseph, the dreamer with a vibrant coat, as he journeys from favoured son to Egyptian hero in a high-energy tale filled with humour, heart, and dazzling songs. With catchy tunes like “Any Dream Will Do,” “Go, Go, Go Joseph,” and “Close Every Door,” audiences will be treated to a vibrant mix of musical styles, from calypso to rock ’n’ roll. A stellar Youth/Adult cast and Children’s Choir will bring this biblical story to technicolour life.
