Sing-a-long-a
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is the new show from
the producers of Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music.
It's
not compulsory to dress up but many people do - you may even see
yourself in the BBC Birmingham photo gallery (coming after the show)
or win the pre-show fancy dress competition!
Everyone
receives a goody bag with props to use during the film. The host
will lead you in a vocal warm-up and suggest actions and heckles
so you can warble, cheer and boo in the right places. Don't worry
if you don't know all the words - follow the on-screen lyrics!
From
stage to film
Joseph
was written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd-Webber in 1968 - four years
after The Sound of Music - as a 20 minute show for an end-of-term
concert at Colet Court School in London.

that a tea-towel on your head? |
The
film version (which the audience sing along with) opens as a school
play in which the main parts are played by the teachers.
The
action then moves into colour as the story of Joseph unfolds. It
charts Joseph's journey from when he is left for dead by his jealous
brothers to arriving in ancient Egypt at Potiphar's Court and meeting
Potiphar's temptress wife - played by Joan Collins.
Donny
Osmond was chosen for the film by Webber. While Jason Donovan and
Philip Schofield were donning their coloured coats in the West End,
Donny was playing Joseph in theatres across North America for five
years.
Film
Certificate
Joseph
and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a U certificate film, so
it's suitable for all ages. You are warned that the audience's contributions
may be "lively", especially at later shows.
