Metro Theatre presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, May 9 to June 8
New interpretation of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical trades Biblical Egypt for a travelling variety show
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Metro Theatre is set to stage a playful production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the beloved musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Running May 9 to June 8, this new version trades Biblical Egypt for the glittering lights of a 1970s TV soundstage—and puts Vancouver’s emerging musical-theatre talent in the spotlight.
In the production directed by Christopher King with choreography by Shelley Stewart Hunt and music direction by Jenaya Barker, sequins, glitter, and charisma come together to form a travelling variety show that features special guest Joseph. As he shares his inspiring life story, the musical’s universal themes of perseverance, forgiveness, and self-belief shine through.
Taking on the title role is CBC Music Searchlight finalist Argel Monte de Ramos. Audiences can expect iconic songs like “Go, Go, Go Joseph”, “Any Dream Will Do”, and more.
For tickets and information, visit Metro Theatre or contact the box office at 604-266-7191.
