Based on the "coat of many colors" story of Joseph from the Hebrew Bible's Book of Genesis, this light-hearted show was first presented as a 15-minute pop cantata in London in 1968. JOSEPH premiered on Broadway January 24, 1982, played 757 performances and was revived on Broadway November 10, 1993, played 223 performances. In 1999 it was adapted as a straight to video film, starring Donny Osmond.
