"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" Seeks Kids
Looking to cast kids ages 8 and up for "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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 proved so successful that the piece, originally 15 minutes long, continued to expand until it became a full-length professional musical. The first amateur production in America 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 transferred to the West End’s Albery Theatre the following year. The Broadway opening, with the late Laurie Beechman as the first female to take the Narrator role, was in 1982 and garnered six Tony nods, including Best Musical. The title role has been played by a succession of stars, including Gary Bond, Donny Osmond, Patrick Cassidy and Jason Donovan. It has been staged numerous times in the decades since; a new production recently toured the U.S., directed and choreographed by Hamilton Tony winner Andy Blankenbuehler. A 2019 summer revival at the London Palladium was a smash hit and returned to the venue in 2021. Additional info: See the flyer attached for details. If interested, please apply.
