The story of Jacob's son, sold into slavery in Egypt by his jealous brothers, is surely the least likely subject matter ever to be staged as a West End musical. Yet Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - now at the Adelphi Theatre - has seldom been off-stage in London and New York since the first Broadway production in 1982. It has many of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's finest songs, with witty lyrics and unforgettable hooks, and offers plenty of comedy, high drama and several rousing set pieces. The Pharaoh is portrayed as Elvis, and Joseph is a really good hero, mixing tremendous vanity with quick wit. This is many people's favourite Lloyd Webber musical: Joseph has a gleeful silliness that is lacking in the composer's later works, which keeps it fresh and makes it a treat for all ages.About Adelphi Theatre
The Adelphi Theatre is a London institution - an historic venue with a long history of staging upscale musicals. Now a West End stalwart, it was once among the great innovators of London's popular theatre. It was the first theatre to use a sinking stage, a pioneer of gas lighting and the current building is a 1930s temple to progress, all straight lines, chrome and black marble.
