Any Dream Will Do

A favorite son and eleven jealous siblings make the foundation for the play Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. A very popular musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, this story is a timeless piece of theatre that is reinvented frequently. Originally a twenty minute performance, the show is now ninety minutes long, including several terrific show tunes that tell the story of the young man and his coveted coat of many colors. The coat, given to him by his father enrages his other sons into acts of betrayal, sending Joseph on a journey of a lifetime. The play demonstrates the concept that dreams can, and do come true, even when they seem too distant or even impossible.

By the end of the play, it can be seen that Joseph, even though he was tortured and rejected, came out the winner of the story. His brothers, who caused the whole conflict, would seem, by default, the losers of the story, however, Joseph resolves the conflict by forgiving them of their wrongdoings toward him, and thus they join in his victory.

In the play, each character had a distinct “beat.” It was evident, but not overly obvious, when Joseph was on stage, because his music was lighter and more pleasant.
