Embrace the summer heat with a rousing musical journey across the arid deserts of the Book of Genesis, as Theatre Orb in Tokyo presents a revival of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," the first publicly performed musical by those masters of the genre, Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice.
Fresh off a successful North American tour last year, “Joseph” — with rising American star JC McCann in the title role — takes the stage for 16 performances in English, with Japanese titles, from July 13–24 (except July 19).
Based on a storyline from the Bible, the show follows the glorious adventures of Joseph, the 12th and favorite son of Jacob (aka Israel), who is abandoned by his jealous brothers and taken into slavery after their father gives him a splendid coat of many colors.
