Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is written by the team of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Based on the “coat of many colours” story of Joseph from the Hebrew Bible (Book of Genesis), this light-hearted show was first presented as a fifteen-minute pop cantata at Colet Court School in London on 1 March 1968. It was adapted as a musical film (starring Donny Osmond) in 1999. Joseph was particularly recognized as one of the only major British musical theatre shows with hardly any spoken dialogue, being sung-through almost completely.
