‘Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ on at the Wendt this week
After nearly a year of training, an ensemble of St Peter’s College Past and Present pupils, along with a few invited guests, will kick off 2017, with an entertaining performance of the msuical ‘Joseph and the amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.’
The music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and the lyrics by Tim Rice, will be staged at the Lionel Wendt starting January 25 -29, 2017.
Directed by Jehan Bastians, Neidra Williams and Charith De Silva, the musical narrates the story of ‘Joseph,’ a renowned figure in the Bible’s old testament. The viewers are taken through a 90 minute long set, packed with a lot of fun, while yet effectively relating Joseph’s tale both in Canaan and Egypt.
The choral direction of the musical is managed by Peshali Yapa, who, herself, took part in the play back in the Ladies College Production in the 90s.She was also the choral director for Asian International School (AIS), who tended an amazing rendition of the musical in 2007.
Overall ‘Joseph and the amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ promises an experience that is out and out lark. It is one of the fewer musicals that tend to be light-hearted and ensures a fun filled evening for the family.
