Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Lyrics by Tim Rice Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
THE most popular musical of all time! The Biblical, all-sung saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful 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. Set to one of the greatest scores in musical theatre, "Joseph" is a cornucopia of pop styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum and ‘50's rock 'n' roll. Great songs like "One More Angel in Heaven", "Close Every Door", "Any Dream Will Do" and "Go, Go, Go Joseph" fill this Old Testament tale with modern mayhem and hilarious fun!
Tim Perrino, Director; Brian Hoffman, Music Director; Jennifer A Martin, Choreographer; Erin Meyer, Production Stage Manager

Rehearsals begin: Monday, April 9, 2012
Performance dates: May 16 - June 3, 2012

Characters include 2 women and 2 men:
Woman 1 - A bright-eyed ingénue, subtly reminiscent of the young Judy Garland but capable of playing a more sensual part in Act Two. G3 thru D#5 (though G3 thru E5 is a plus)
Woman 2 - A worldly chanteuse, subtly reminiscent of the older Judy Garland but secure enough to be a trustworthy emcee - a gal who's been-there-done-that but has an admirable attitude about it. F#3 thru D5 (though F3 thru E5 is a plus)
Man 1 - A vaudevillian performer subtly reminiscent of the young Mickey Rooney, but capable of coming across as real in ballads. A2 thru E4 (though G#2 thru A4 is a plus)
Man 2 - Less an impersonator of Mickey Rooney than a grown man to counter-balance Man 1 - a solid, musical theatre emcee - perhaps the man Mickey Rooney might have become had he stayed purely a Broadway song and dance man. G2 thru D#4 (though G2 thru F#4 is a plus)

All roles are paid positions. No roles have been precast.
