FZN to present "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."

The annual Spring musical runs April 13 - April 15.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will be presented Thursday April 13 - Saturday, April 15 at Fort Zumwalt North High School. Lobby doors open at 6pm. Theatre doors will open at 6:30. Tickets are general seating and will be $10 at the door.

“Sha la la, Joseph, you’re doing fine! You and your dreamcoat, ahead of your time!” One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph (Ethan Simon), his father Jacob (Phoenix Ferris), eleven brothers (Nolan Bohannan, Geoffrey Alva, Hailey Deptula, Emma Booth, Ethan Landrum, Olivia Jacquin, Ren Meeks, Riley Snow, Elisha Butryn, Evan Nigus, and Rihanna Blanchard) and the coat of many colors.

Told entirely through song with the help of the Narrator (Reilly Smith), the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar (Dakota Dawson), but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife (Azalyn Nanney). While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh (Phoenix Ferris). Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.
