On
November 14 the Scenic Stage will burst into
life again with the Technicolor musical “Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” Forget
what you know about the old Joseph, ‘cause this
one’s got a brand new bag! If the go-go dancers
in the cages during the “Go, Go, Go, Joseph”
number don’t pique your interest, then the
tricked out Pharaoh as Elvis should. “Joseph” is
just one more smash hit from the talented hands
of Andrew Lloyd Webber, the man who brought us
"The Phantom of the Opera" and "Les Mis" among
others. With this kind of material The Players
are like you’ve never seen them before. Three
female narrators tell the story in song and
these ladies are as beautiful as their voices.
Speaking of material; this show required not
just a costumer, but a costume TEAM. The colors
and fabrics playing against the techno lights
and grandiose set pieces will make you feel you
must have been living in black and white before.
While not a “cast of thousands” as the old-time
biblical movies used to proclaim, the cast does
reach biblical proportions with more than thirty
people on stage singing and dancing their hearts
out just for you.
As part of the Players fortieth anniversary,
this is a show you don’t want to miss. It has
everything you want in a musical, great set,
costumes, lights, spectacular music and a
phenomenal cast. Get your tickets now because
they won’t be around for long.
The show premiers on the Scenic Stage November
14, 15, 21, and 22 at 8 p.m. and November 16 at
2 pm. That’s two Friday and Saturday night
performances and one Sunday matinee - just like
the old days! For tickets and information, visit
