Harlequinn presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is a spectacular, feel-good musical for the whole family, bursting with colour, energy, and unforgettable songs. With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, this beloved retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, his jealous brothers, and his journey from slavery to triumph is brought to life through a dazzling mix of musical styles—from pop and rock to calypso and country. When Joseph receives a stunning coat of many colours, his brothers' envy sets a dramatic adventure in motion, leading to dreams, betrayal, redemption, and forgiveness. With its catchy tunes like “Any Dream Will Do” and “Go, Go, Go Joseph,” this show is a joyful celebration of resilience and the power of dreams.

Whether you're discovering Joseph for the first time or reliving a favourite, don’t miss this technicolor triumph as Harlequin returns for the fourth consecutive year to the Village Theatre with this kaleidoscope of colour, music, and heart!
