“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”

Andrew Lloyd Webber (Music); Tim Rice (Lyrics)

Its crazy mixture of musical genres, its clever lyrics that span the millennia in references, and its story of biblical proportions about a boy’s dreams that save a nation and his family all combine to make Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoata perennial favorite to young and old alike, no matter how many times it is revived.  Knowing that, Broadway by the Bay is one of the latest companies to stage the Webber/Rice classic with a Joseph that soars to the heavens.  A cast of thirty-six sing and dance with enough zeal for the story and zest for its delivery to raise the roof of Redwood City’s venerable Fox Theatre.
