SLT presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Published 9:35 am Monday, March 11, 2013

The Spartanburg Little Theatre (SLT) will present the Andrew Lloyd Weber favorite Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, on the stage of the David W. Reid Theatre in the Chapman Cultural Center on March 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. and on March 16 and 17 at 3 p.m.

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful family musical. 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.

Comprised of a cast of more than 60 youth and adults from all over the Upstate, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n’ roll.

“Joseph is pure unadulterated fun from start to finish,” says Jay Coffman, Executive Artistic Director of the Spartanburg Little Theatre.  “Everything in this show, from the vocals to the dancing and costuming are as spectacular as Joseph’s coat.  No one should leave the theatre without a huge smile on their face.”

Tickets to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat are available through the ticket office at the Chapman Cultural Center.

For tickets, call 864-542-2787 or visit www.chapmanculturalcenter.org. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is co-sponsored by The Arkwright Foundation.
