Synopsis: In this retelling of the Biblical story, Joseph is a handsome young man who is his
father's favorite child, able to interpret dreams, and the bearer of an amazing coat. These
facts lead Joseph's eleven brothers to become insatiably jealous. Thus, they sell Joseph
into slavery to some passing Ishmaelites. After refusing the advances of his owner's wife,
Joseph is sent to jail. Once in jail, he quickly becomes popular due to his ability to interpret
dreams. The Pharaoh soon hears of Joseph's ability and appoints him to the post of
Number Two man in Egypt. Years later, Joseph's now starving brothers arrive in Egypt and
ask Joseph, whom they don't recognize, for assistance. Joseph, in turn, gives his brothers
a scare, but eventually grants them all they desire, reveals his identity, and reunites the
family. Dancing in the show requires all types of styles. Lyrics by Tim Rice and Music by
Andrew Lloyd Webber.
