Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Central Piedmont Summer Theatre is pleased to perform “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” July 9 – 25, on the renowned Halton Theater stage, located on the college’s Central Campus.

With music by Andrew Lloyd Weber and lyrics by Tim Rice, this musical is a reimagining of the biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, his eleven brothers, and his coat of many colors.

Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.

This magical musical is full of catchy songs in a variety of styles, ranging from a parody of French ballads (“Those Canaan Days”) and country-western (“One More Angel in Heaven”), to calypso (“Benjamin Calypso”) and the unforgettable classics “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door.”

WHEN: Friday, July 9- Sunday, July 25, 2021  

All Central Piedmont students, with a valid Central Piedmont ID, can attend the show for free. Or you can purchase tickets online or at the Central Piedmont Suntrust Box Office, Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., as well as one hour before showtimes. Cash only at the Central Piedmont Suntrust Box Office, located in Overcash Center on Central Campus.
