On 15 and 16 June, CMC students will proudly present the 2023 College production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in the magnificent Ulumbarra Theatre. Throughout the year, students from all year levels have been hard at work, rehearsing, choreographing, dancing and singing to put together this entertaining, upbeat show. Family tickets are available and tickets will go on sale soon – details below.

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable.

Joseph, his father’s favourite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged.

He is purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances from Potiphar’s wife lands him in jail. When news of Joseph’s gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered enormously, unknowingly find themselves grovelling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognise. After testing their integrity Joseph reveals himself, leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel.

Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.

This highly entertaining night out at the theatre is full of singing, dancing and plenty of laughs!
