Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
The Story
Act I
The story is based on the Biblical story of Joseph, found in the book of Genesis. It is set in a frame in which a narrator is telling a story (sometimes to children, encouraging them to dream, but in the Jay production there will not be a children's chorus). She then tells the story of Joseph, another dreamer ("Prologue"). In the beginning of the main story, Jacob and his 12 sons are introduced ("Jacob and Sons"). Joseph's brothers are jealous of him for his coat, a symbol of their father's preference for him ("Joseph's Coat"). It is clear from Joseph's dreams that he is destined to rule over them ("Joseph's Dreams"). To get rid of him and prevent the dreams from coming true, they sell Joseph as a slave to some passing Ishmaelites ("Poor, Poor Joseph"), who take him to Egypt.
Back home, his brothers, accompanied by their wives, break the news to Jacob that Joseph has been killed. They show his tattered coat smeared with his blood – really goat blood – as proof that what they say is true ("One More Angel in Heaven"). In most productions, one brother usually sings the solo; the song often segues into a celebratory hoedown after the bereft Jacob has tottered off the stage.
In Egypt, Joseph is the slave of Egyptian millionaire Potiphar. He rises through the ranks of slaves and servants until he is running Potiphar's house. When Mrs. Potiphar makes advances, Joseph spurns her. Potiphar overhears, barges in, sees the two together – and jumps to conclusions. He jails Joseph ("Potiphar"). Depressed, Joseph sings "Close Every Door" – but his spirits rise when he helps two prisoners put in his cell. Both are former servants of the Pharaoh, and both have had bizarre dreams. Joseph interprets them. One cellmate, the Baker, will be executed, but the other, the Butler, will be returned to service ("Go, Go, Go Joseph").
Act II
The Narrator talks about impending changes in Joseph's fortunes ("A Pharaoh Story") because the Pharaoh is having dreams that no-one can interpret. Now freed, the Butler tells Pharaoh (acted in the style of Elvis Presley) of Joseph and his dream interpretation skills ("Poor, Poor Pharaoh"). Pharaoh orders Joseph to be brought in, and the king tells him his dream involving seven fat cows, seven skinny cows, seven healthy ears of corn, and seven dead ears of corn ("Song of the King"). Joseph interprets the dream as seven plentiful years of crops followed by seven years of famine ("Pharaoh's Dreams Explained"). An astonished Pharaoh puts Joseph in charge of carrying out the preparations needed to endure the impending famine, and Joseph becomes the most powerful man in Egypt, second only to the Pharaoh ("Stone the Crows"). Back home, the famine had caught up with Joseph's brothers, who – led by the brother Reuben – express regret at selling him and deceiving their father ("Those Canaan Days"). They hear Egypt still has food and decide to go there to beg for mercy and to be fed, not realizing that they will be dealing with Joseph ("The Brothers Come to Egypt"). He gives them food and sends them on their way but plants a golden cup in the sack of his brother ("Grovel, Grovel"). When the brothers try to leave, Joseph stops them, asking about the "stolen cup." Each brother empties his sack, and it is revealed that Benjamin has the cup. Joseph then accuses Benjamin of robbery ("Who's the Thief?"). The other brothers, though, beg for mercy for Benjamin, imploring that Joseph take them prisoner and set Benjamin free ("Benjamin Calypso").
Seeing their selflessness and penitence, Joseph reveals himself ("Joseph All the Time") and sends for his father. The two are reunited ("Jacob in Egypt") for a happy conclusion. The show ends with two songs ("Finale: Any Dream Will Do (Reprise)/Give Me My Colored Coat"), and for curtain call in some big productions, a rock/disco medley of most of the musical's major numbers ("Joseph Megamix").
The Background to Joseph
In the summer of 1967, Andrew Lloyd Webber was asked by Alan Doggett, head of the Music Department at Colet court, St Paul's Junior School who taught his younger brother, Julian, to write a 'pop cantata' for the school choir to sing at their Easter end of term concert. Andrew immediately approached his friend Tim Rice to ask if he would write lyrics for the project. After toying with ideas about spies, 007's and the like, Tim suggested the story of Joseph. The first performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was on a cold winter afternoon on 1st March 1968 at the Old Assembly Hall, Colet Court, Hammersmith. Accompanied by the School orchestra and conducted by Alan Doggett, the performance was only 15 minutes long.
It was such a success that a second performance was arranged on 12th May 1968 at Central Hall, Westminster, where Andrew's father was the organist. Julian Lloyd Webber gave a classical recital in the first half, along with Bill Lloyd Webber. The audience of approximately 2,500 consisted mainly of parents of the Colet Court boys. To Andrew and Tim's surprise, Derek Jewell, Jazz and Pop Critic for The Sunday Times, saw the show and wrote a favorable review of Joseph, which appeared on 19th May 1968. A third performance took place on 9th November 1968 at St Paul's Cathedral, where Joseph was expanded to include songs such as 'Potiphar' for the first time.
After seeing Derek Jewell's review, Tim Rice's then employer Norrie Paramor, who produced Cliff Richard among others, encouraged Decca to release an album of the St Paul's Cathedral version of Joseph in January 1969. This received several good reviews but was unsuccessful commercially. At the same time as the album's release, Novello & Co. published the original twenty minutes version of the music and lyrics. As a consequence of the obvious need for financial backing to enable them to continue writing, Andrew Lloyd Webber was introduced to Sefton Myers, an entrepreneur keen to develop new talent in showbusiness and whose main activity was property. His partner, David Land, heard the album and immediately offered Tim and Andrew a management contract which would guarantee them support for 3 years in return for a share of their income. This contract allowed Tim and Andrew to continue their work and made it feasible for Tim to leave his employment with Norrie Paramor.
The first project under their new contract was a second piece for schools entitled Come Back Richard, Your Country Needs You, based on the story of Richard I and his minstrel, Blondel. It was performed with Alan Doggett once again as musical director at the City of London School in November 1969, but Andrew and Tim did not take the project further as they had already discussed another idea, the story of Jesus Christ. Tim Rice remained convinced of his second idea for schools and subsequently developed it into the musical Blondel. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice then went on to write Jesus Christ Superstar. It was the success of Jesus Christ Superstar that enabled Joseph to continue to grow. The album of Jesus Christ Superstar was a massive success in America, and when Joseph was released there, with a marketing campaign implying it was the follow-up to Superstar, the Joseph album stayed in the charts for three months.
Sadly, before the success of Jesus Christ Superstar had really emerged, Sefton Myers died of cancer. David Land subsequently involved Robert Stigwood in the management contract with Andrew and Tim, which was extended to cover a 10 year period, and a very happy association with David Land on behalf of the Robert Stigwood Organization followed.
In September 1972, Frank Dunlop for the Young Vic directed the Decca album version of Joseph starring Gary Bond at the Edinburgh Festival, where it was preceded by an act of medieval mystery plays that led to the story of the 'Coat of Many Colors'. In October, the Edinburgh production played at the Young Vic for two weeks before transferring to the Roundhouse for a six week run. Michael White and Robert Stigwood subsequently presented the Edinburgh Joseph at the Albery Theatre, where it opened on 17th February 1973 and was accompanied by a piece called Jacob's Journey, written by Tim and Andrew with dialogue by Alan Simpson and Ray Galton. This told the story of the early life of Joseph's father, Jacob.Unfortunately, it was decided that the combination of Jacob's Journey, which contained a lot of spoken dialogue, and Joseph, entirely sung, did not work and Jacob's Journey was gradually phased out. Joseph emerged to receive its first major production in its present form at the Haymarket Theatre, Leicester.
The history of Joseph in America is not dissimilar. The first amateur production in America was in May 1970 at the College of the Immaculate Conception in Douglaston, New York. There followed huge interest from colleges and schools, but despite various professional productions including two in New York, it was so successful that on 27th January 1982 it moved to the Royale Theatre on Broadway. Twenty three years on, it is intriguing to note that in the year of the first performance (and three months before Jason Donovan was born), the copyright on Joseph was sold by Andrew and Tim to Novello & Co. for 50 guineas each. Novello & Co. was subsequently purchased by Filmtrax, who continue to own the copyrights until 21st April 1989, when the Really Useful Group purchased it for £1 million.

TITANIC- the Musical
The Story
Act I
Titanic begins (Prologue) as Thomas Andrews, the architect of the great ship, pores over the blueprints of his design (In Every Age). The curtain then rises to reveal the Ocean Dock in Southampton, England, where people are gathering to wonder at and to board the ship on sailing day: first a stoker (How Did They Build Titanic?), then additional crewmen (There She Is), officers and stevedores (Loading Inventory), the owner, the architect and the captain (The Largest Moving Object), the Third and Second Class passengers (I Must Get On That Ship), and finally the First Class passengers (The 1st Class Roster). Now fully boarded, the ship pulls out as the company sings a prayerful farewell (Godspeed Titanic).
One by one, the dreams and aspirations of key characters are presented: Barrett, the stoker who wanted to get away from the coal mines (Barrett's Song); Murdoch, the ship's officer contemplating the responsibility of command (To Be a Captain); Kate McGowan and the Third Class passengers who yearn for a better life in America (Lady's Maid); Chief Steward Etches and the millionaires he serves who exult in the wonders of their world (What a Remarkable Age This Is!).
Barrett finds his way to the Telegraph Room where he dictates a proposal of marriage to his sweetheart back home (The Proposal) in a telegram transmitted by Harold Bride, a young telegraph operator smitten with the possibilities of the new radio technology (The Night Was Alive).
The next day, April 14, after Sunday morning church service, the First Class attends the shipboard band's spirited out-of-doors dance-concert (Hymn/Doing the Latest Rag), an exclusive event crashed by Second Class passenger Alice Beane, a hardware store owner's wife who wants more out of life (I Have Danced). That evening, as Fleet the lookout scans the horizon (No Moon) and bandsman Hartley regales the First Class Smoking Room with a new song (Autumn), the ship sails inexorably towards her collision, which ends Act One.
Act II
Act Two opens as the suddenly awakened First and Second Class passengers are assembled in the Grand Salon (Dressed in Your Pyjamas in the Grand Salon) for life-belt instruction by Chief Steward Etches, before being sent up to the Boat Deck to board the lifeboats. In the Telegraph Room, Captain Smith, Mr. Andrews and Mr. Ismay, the owner, argue over who is responsible for the disaster (The Blame) while Mr. Bride tirelessly sends out the SOS. Up on the Boat Deck, the male passengers are separated from their families (To the Lifeboats), and all express hopes of being reunited (We'll Meet Tomorrow) as the final boat is lowered. Isador Straus (the owner of Macy's) and his wife Ida remain behind together, as she refuses to leave his side after 40 years of marriage (Still), and Mr. Etches utters a prayer ( To Be a Captain reprise). In the abandoned Smoking Room, Thomas Andrews desperately redesigns his ship to correct its fatal flaws until the futility of his actions leads him to predict, in horrifying detail, the end of Titanic just as she begins her now-inevitable descent (Mr. Andrews' Vision).
In an Epilogue, the survivors picked up by the Carpathia numbly retell what had once been Mr. Andrews' dream (In Every Age reprise). The living are joined by their lost loved-ones in a tableau recapturing the optimistic spirit of the Ocean Dock on sailing day (Finale).
