Based on the “coat of many colors” story of Joseph from the Bible’s Book Of Genesis, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was the first big hit of Andrew Lloyd Webber, who went on to compose Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, The Phantom of the Operas, Aspects of Love, Sunset Boulevard and Love Never Dies.
Joseph is sold as a slave by his brothers because of his ability to explain people’s dreams. When the pharaoh calls on him to breakdown a dream, Joseph predicts a famine and is made the pharaoh’s secondhand man. When the famine hits, Joseph’s brothers come to him for relief and have to pass a test to prove they’ve changed before he’ll forgive them.
