"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" is a musical retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, son of Jacob, from the Book of Genesis. Joseph is gifted with the ability to interpret dreams, which leads to his father Jacob favoring him over his brothers, much to their envy. Their jealousy leads them to sell Joseph into slavery in Egypt, where he faces numerous trials but ultimately rises to power due to his talent for interpreting dreams. The story is told through a variety of musical styles, ranging from pop to country to rock, and features memorable songs such as "Any Dream Will Do" and "Close Every Door." With its vibrant energy, catchy tunes, and timeless message of forgiveness and redemption, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT is a fun and silly musical of a biblical story but it also has heart. There is a beautiful story of family and forgiveness, overcoming challenges and turning life circumstances around. In a world that is full of trials and hard things, we have to remember to laugh. Taking time to laugh and enjoying being in a moment can help give us the reprieve we need from the hard things we may be going through.

I have been extra grateful for all the silly moments that have made me laugh, helped us connect and work together as a team to create such a fun show. I am so proud of all these kids and their hard work. Their dedication is unmatched and I have had so much fun seeing them work so hard to create this beautiful show. Thank you for coming to support them and all their hard work and efforts

Donny Osmond—who played more than 2,000 performances in U.S. and Canadian productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat between 1992 and 1997 and later reprised his work in a 1999 film opposite Joan Collins, Richard Attenborough, and Maria Friedman—will return to the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical later this year.

The famed vocalist will play a limited engagement as the Pharaoh when the international hit musical kicks off its latest U.K. tour during the holiday season. Osmond will get to rock out nightly with "Song of the King" when the tour plays the Edinburgh Playhouse December 3-29. Additional casting will be announced. Osmond, who has sold over 100 million records throughout his career, said in a statement, "I always knew I would return to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Having starred as Joseph in over 2,000 performances in this magical musical, I am now ready to channel my inner Elvis and assume the role of Pharaoh in Edinburgh starting this December."

Producer Michael Harrison added: “Following the extraordinary reception the Edinburgh Playhouse and thousands of theatre fans gave Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat at the end of the 2022 tour, it made absolute sense to begin the new tour here and to ask Joseph royalty, Donny Osmond, to star as our festive season Pharaoh. Few shows bring the generations together the way Joseph does, and we are honored to have an icon of the show join us to create a magical moment for families this Christmas, who will cherish the experience for years to come.” The forthcoming tour of the family-friendly biblical musical will feature direction by Laurence Connor, choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter, set and costume design by Morgan Large, lighting design by Ben Cracknell, sound design by Gareth Owen, musical supervision by John Rigby, and casting by David Grindrod. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is produced by Harrison. For ticket information visit UKTour.JosephtheMusical.com.
