The national tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Andy Blankenbuehler, debuts in Minneapolis on March 29. The Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice classic musical will run at the Trust’s Historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown Minneapolis as part of the Bank of America Broadway on Hennepin Season.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer raved, “This new production of Joseph… is an exuberant success that stays true to all of the original’s joyfulness, humor and fantastic songs while subtly updating it for a 2014 audience.”

One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is the irresistible family musical about the trials and triumphs of Joseph, Israel’s favorite son. The first collaboration of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber (Jesus Christ Superstar, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats) and lyricist Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, Disney’s The Lion King), Joseph blends pop, country and rock into an uplifting, technicolored story of biblical proportions.

Retelling the Biblical story of Joseph, his 11 brothers and the coat of many colors, this magical musical is full of unforgettable songs including “Those Canaan Days,” “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door.”

Produced by TROIKA Entertainment, LLC, the tour features scenic design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by Jennifer Caprio, lighting design by Howell Binkley, sound design by John Shivers and David Patridge, projection and video design by Daniel Brodie, and music supervision by David Kreppel.
