Featuring a local cast, the Marion Palace Theatre will stage a Palace Production of internationally acclaimed musical/dance extravaganza Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for three performances, February 21, 22, 23, 2014.
The musical is a retelling of the biblical story of Joseph. Joseph, blessed with dream-reading abilities, receives a rainbow-colored coat as a gift from his father. Joseph’s brothers are consumed with jealousy and abduct Joseph, destroy his coat, and sell him into slavery. Fortunately, Joseph is able to rise through the ranks of slavery and becomes the head of house of an Egyptian millionaire. When the millionaire’s wife’s advances land Joseph in jail, his ability to interpret the dreams of his fellow inmates gains the attention of Egypt’s Pharaoh (ironically depicted as Elvis). Soon, Joseph is called upon to save the entire nation!
This Palace Production features local talent and is directed by Delaware resident and Palace veteran Greg Patterson.
Daniel Bradshaw, who recently appeared in the Palace Production of Harvey, stars in the title role with Danielle Knight and Keitha Voorheis as the Narrators, and Charles Groth as Pharaoh.
