Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat song of the king

Themes of jealousy, love, loyalty, and above all, family, resonate with everyone—whether read from the Bible or seen from the stage. “The story of a boy whose dreams came true” appeals to us all—because “it could be you.” Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat plays through October 12 at the Festival.

The story of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a tale that follows the journey of a dreamer. Joseph is the son of Jacob and one of twelve brothers. He is given a coat of many colors by his father, which is symbolic of his favor and an object of his brothers' jealousy.

While you don't need to be religious to enjoy the musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is rooted in biblical origins and is based on the story of Jacob and Joseph from the Bible's Book of Genesis 36-37: Joseph and the Coat of Many Colours.
