The most colorful, cheerful, lively musical ever. The story of Joseph, who is sold to Egypt by his eleven brothers from Canaan; of his threats from the Madame Potiphar and his unstoppable ascent to the side of the Pharaoh. Not a dry Bible lesson, but a rousing kaleidoscope of musical catchy tunes, groovy dance scenes and a good dose of humor. Andrew Lloyd Webber's mix of rock, calypso and country music - rearranged by Beat4Feet.
