The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors
comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical 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. He is
purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances from Potiphar's wife lands him
in jail. When news of Joseph's gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh
(wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming
second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly,
unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed
but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself
leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging
cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum
pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and
timeless.
