With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, the Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father’s favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of misadventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. Back by popular demand on the Weathervane Playhouse stage, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has become an Akron holiday-season tradition!
As in previous years’ productions of the musical, the 2019 production will also employ the complement of a youth chorus. Students from local schools will perform in rotation with the young actors in Weathervane’s production.
