Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat
lyrics by tim rice
music by andrew lloYd webber
Directed and choreographed by billy bustamante

march 11 - 29, 2026

This beloved musical reimagines the Biblical story of Joseph, a magical tale packed with adventures, beguiling characters (like the Elvis-inspired Pharoah), and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s brilliant score, full of catchy songs from country-western (“One More Angel in Heaven”) to Caribbean (“Benjamin Calypso”), along with the unforgettable classics “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door.”

  • JAY ROBERTS-MILLER (Ruben/Pharaoh) would like to share a few quotes. 

    Matthew 5:17–“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” 

    Matthew 10:18–”Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their churches.”

    Matthew 10:36 “And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.”

    Matthew 25:35– “For I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” 

    Thank you for joining us. And thank you for welcoming all of us strangers into your beautiful city. We are gathered here today to share a story. We hope, while we tell it, you forget about the world outside these walls. And we hope, once it's over, that you see that world a little differently. Love the stranger, for they bring untold gifts, if you are willing to receive them. Abolish ICE.
