HISTORY

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was first written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber at the request of a friend of Andrew's father, Colet Court School choirmaster Alan Doggett, for the school's 1968 end-of-term concert. 


The children's concert was so successful that the piece, originally 15 minutes long, continued to grow until it became a full-length professional musical. 


The first amateur production was in May 1970 at the College of the Immaculate Conception in Douglastown, New York. 


Professionally, Joseph premiered at Scotland’s Edinburgh Festival in 1972 and moved to the West End’s Albery Theatre the following year. 


The Broadway debut, with the late Laurie Beechman as the first woman to portray the Narrator role, took place in 1982 and received six Tony nominations, including Best Musical. The title role has been played by a series of stars, including Gary Bond, Donny Osmond, Patrick Cassidy, and Jason Donovan. 


It has been staged multiple times over the decades; a recent production toured the U.S., directed and choreographed by Tony winner Andy Blankenbuehler of Hamilton. 


A 2019 summer revival at the London Palladium was a huge success and returned to the venue in 2021.

TRIVIA

Before settling on the idea of Joseph, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber toyed with ideas about spies, 007s and the like. 


Sting began his musical career playing bass for a production of Joseph in his hometown of Newcastle in northern England. 


The album of Jesus Christ Superstar was a massive success in America, and when Joseph was released there, with a marketing campaign implying it was the follow-up to Superstar, the Joseph album stayed in the charts for three months. 


Donny Osmond says his most embarrassing showbiz moment was when his loincloth fell off during a performance of Joseph!

STAGE CREW

JOANNE RYAN

SOCIAL MEDIA
JOANNE RYAN - SOCIAL MEDIA Joanne’s love of musical theatre began in Ontario in 1994, when she appeared in a local production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with her parents and sisters. Ironically, it was her father—a 6’3” bass—who was scouted first by the producer to fill out the long line of brothers. “I suppose,” he offered, “if you have room for my three daughters in the chorus, I could make time to be in the show.” With that, he unknowingly launched a lifelong passion for performance in all three of his girls. Now, 31 years later, Joanne is delighted (and a little amazed) to be appearing in her FOURTH production of Joseph!
