Synopsis
Dancing in the show requires all types of styles. This colourful retelling of the biblical story about Joseph, his uncanny abilities and his designer coat sings out to young and old alike with a score which is wall to wall hits - including Close Every Door and Any Dream Will Do. In this retelling of the Biblical story, Joseph is a handsome young man who is his father's favourite child, able to interpret dreams, and the bearer of an amazing coat. These facts lead Joseph's eleven brothers to become insatiably jealous. Thus, they sell Joseph into slavery to some passing Ishmaelites. After refusing the advances of his owner's wife, Joseph is sent to jail. Once in jail, he quickly becomes popular due to his ability to interpret dreams. The Pharaoh soon hears of Joseph's ability and appoints him to the post of Number Two man in Egypt. Years later, Joseph's now starving brothers arrive in Egypt and ask Joseph, whom they don't recognize, for assistance. Joseph, in turn, gives his brothers a scare, but eventually grants them all they desire, reveals his identity, and reunites the family.
Our Review:
Glenn Meads - 17 August 2011
Bill Kenwright's production of Joseph has been doing the rounds now for years. Recent visits to the region have seen the show looking a little tired and in need of a rest. But this current production it in tip-top shape, thanks to the great vocals of lead Keith Jack and an energetic ensemble.
Made even more popular as a result of the hit TV show - Any Dream Will Do - this hit musical tells the Biblical story of Joseph, his eleven brothers and the coat of many colours. To be honest, the plot is purely perfunctory as audiences come to hear those songs and to laugh along at the comic antics of Joe and his bros and to see ADWD runner up Jack.
And he delivers vocally as he brings genuine emotion to "Close Every Door" which shows off his beautiful voice. Jack also know...
