What is Joseph about?
The musical is based on the story of Joseph, one of Jacob’s twelve sons. When Joseph is given the amazing coat of many colors, his eleven brothers grow jealous and sell him into slavery out of revenge. Joseph gets on the good side of an Egyptian tycoon named Potiphar, but is thrown in jail when he rejects the unwanted advances of Potiphar’s wife. It is only there when Joseph learns of his incredible power to interpret dreams. His newfound abilities take him before the almighty Egyptian Pharaoh who asks Joseph to put his skills to the test and interpret the symbolic meaning of his dream. What happens next is an epic biblical miracle!
