Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat – It's back!
The London Palladium is thrilled to bits to be hosting the latest revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, back in the capital for the first time since 2009 and designed to celebrate the musical's 50th anniversary. This is a renowned bible-inspired show with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It tells the legend of the coat of many colours from the Book of Genesis through song. While the story is told by the Narrator, the action almost all takes place through the music, with very little spoken dialogue. It's a family-friendly show and the music is so familiar you'll probably recognise most of it.
According to the owners of the copyright, the Really Useful Group, by the year 2008 more than 20,000 schools and amateur theatre groups had produced Joseph. No wonder when it's such a powerful story. The plot goes like this: Joseph's brothers sell him into slavery, where he manages to make friends with the Egyptian nobleman Potiphar. When Joseph refuses Potiphar's wife's advances, he's thrown in prison. While there he discovers a talent for interpreting dreams. The Pharaoh is fascinated, and ultimately uses Joseph's talents to help end Egypt’s deadly famine. Soon becoming the Pharaoh’s trusted right hand man, Joseph eventually ends up being reunited with his family. A great plot, great music, grab tickets now!

Colourful, vibrant, fun Singing talent was amazing. Such fantastic diversity of music genres to the songs. Props and costumes enhanced the experience so much. Loved the show. We were in the grand circle G row roughly in the middle and still amazing views for the price , we went during London theatre week. There was not much leg room though that’s all. Only real downside was the prices for drinks, £3.50 for a soft drink….! But overall fantastic experience

Lively I enjoyed the show but not as much as the 2008 (approx) production. The narrator playing Jacob was strange and using children in adult roles did not fit well. The songs as always were great, the temptation to sing along was strong. The orchestra was very good.

A delight!!!! I first saw this show when I was 16! I am now 43 and brought my 12 and 15 year old to see it and my husband (who is not a lover of musicals) to see their first London Musical! They smiled, clapped throughout and the encore had them up on their feet!!!
Jason Donovan was great! Alexandra Burke was great! Jak Yarrow was great! The WHOLE cast was amazing!!!!
So nice to see how happy they all were to be back performing after Covid.
Amazing production - a must see!!!

The New Version Have seen the show on a number of occasions in various locations. This was the new and revamped version. It still has your toes tapping, your knees bouncing and your mouth singing along. A brilliant show and a must see

Brilliant show! My children (aged 5 & 8) and I absolutely loved this show. The actors were all excellent. It was a very high energy show and they all sang and danced for 2 hours without flagging. Linzi Hateley stole the show as the narrator and Jac Yarrow was excellent as Joseph. The orchestra were amazing too. There was a well deserved standing ovation at the end and we all want to go back and watch it again!
