SIGNATURE SERIES Lyrics by Tim Rice Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber SEPTEMBER 6-30, 2018 The beloved musical celebrates its 50th anniversary! This humorous reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors takes him from trials and tribulations to triumph. After his jealous brothers sell him into slavery in Egypt, poor Joseph is unjustly imprisoned. But when his gift of interpreting dreams saves the land from famine, it also miraculously reunites him with his longlost family. The catchy pop score by Andrew Lloyd Webber features songs like Any Dream Will Do and a variety of musical styles from country to calypso, disco to rock. It s an amazing Technicolor dream of a family-friendly show!
