ONE of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, will take to the stage at the Shirley Burke Theatre in Parkdale this month.
Aspect Theatre’s production of the Andrew Lloyd composed musical dance extravaganza, adored for its catchy music, universal themes and family-friendly storyline. It’s perfect for audiences of all ages.
“This show is not so much about the religious aspects but the general messages of following your dreams, overcoming hardships, forgiveness and family,” director Rhylee Nowell said.
“Biblical or not, they’re universal themes that strike a chord in all of us in some way or another.”
With musical direction by Malcom Huddle and choreography by Robyn Walker, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat combines a wide variety of musical styles – pop, country and rock among them – into an uplifting tale with such memorable numbers as Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door, the rockabilly sensation that is Song of the King and the unforgettable Go, Go, Go Joseph.
Starring Bradley Marshall as Joseph and Carly Daley as The Narrator, this colour-filled production with youthful energy is a spectacle not to be missed.
- Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat will be staged at Shirley Burke Theatre, 64 Parkers Rd, Parkdale on Friday 22 July – Saturday 30 July. See aspecttheatre.org.au for booking information.
