The dreamcoat makes its way to Chicago!
Kicking off the 2017/18 Drury Lane season at Oakbrook Terrace is the seminal worldwide hit musical Joseph, the 1973 musical from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Performed and produced by the talented cast and creative teams of this local company, Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat is the fable of lost innocence, jealousy and the power of redemption, set to the instantly recognizable genre-blending score that includes classics such as Any Dream Will Do, and Close Every Door.
Poor Poor Joseph, what you gonna do?
Based on the famous story in the Book of Genesis, Joseph is the 12th and favorite son of Jacob, a poor farmer who dotes on the sensitive and clever boy. To show his devotion, Jacob bestows him with a marvelous coat of many colors, which enrages his other brothers. Incredibly jealous, they hatch a plot to get rid of him, taking his coat and selling him as a slave to some passing Ishmaelites.
Enduring more trouble, Joseph finds himself in jail. When all hope seems lost, he discovers something extraordinary; he can interpret dreams! Suddenly, he finds himself in the service of the Pharaoh, who's heard about his talents, and wants his help.

Great! Creative! Entertaining!
I was expecting the original production and was
surprised at first. I can see how the pearl-clutchers in
the audience may have been surprised as it was not
advertised as an alternate production. That being
said, if you’re able to open your mind and heart, you
will love this. The narrator, Christina Bianco, was
fabulous! She sang songs while impersonating
famous musicians and nailed each one. Joe and
brothers were great as well with their song and
magnificent dance. Costumes were resplendent and
creative. I highly recommend this production. ... Read more

An Electrifying Remix of a Stodgy Staple
I loved this show, much to my surprise. Wasn’t
really keen to sit through a Sunday School
musical, and so was delighted to instead
experience a dazzling high octane version,
framed by a secular and sizzling Vegas theme.
Had a blast. ... Read more
