Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre is set to present Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Performances are scheduled for two weekends, beginning Aug. 16.
Joseph is the first full-length musical by theatrical team of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Originally only 20 minutes long, a 19-year-old Andrew Lloyd Webber first created the musical for a British school choir in 1968.
The musical tells the biblical story of Joseph, his devoted father, his jealous brothers and his incredible series of adventures.
It features a wide variety of musical styles -everything from country to calypso to rock ‘n roll- in a series of memorable musical numbers.
The Open Air Theatre production of Joseph features Jill Palena as the Narrator. Palena has a long list of leading roles at the outdoor venue. This season alone, she has been seen as Tess in Crazy for You, Basha in Young Frankenstein and Janet van de Graaff in The Drowsy Chaperone.
Mike Nappi takes on the title role of Joseph. He has appeared in past Open Air Theatre productions of The Wizard of Oz and Anything Goes.
Performances are scheduled for Aug. 16-18 23-25 again at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children ages 12 and under.
Tickets can purchased at the Open Air Theatre Box Office prior to the performance.
