During August, Hillcrest Christian College’s Middle and Senior School students will be performing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
This powerful musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice is based on the Biblical story in Genesis of Joseph, a boy who is given a dream by God.
This, combined with being his father’s favourite son among his 11 jealous brothers, sees him being thrown into a pit, sold into slavery and even landing in prison.
Nevertheless, Joseph’s dreams do come true and the gift that he has to interpret opens amazing doors for him to become Pharaoh, King of Egypt’s (riotously depicted as Elvis) right hand man.
Hillcrest students have been doing an amazing job with these colourful, vibrant and memorable characters and have had a lot of fun also.
The music is entertaining and Lloyd Weber’s use of parodies of French ballads, rock and roll, country and western, 1920s Charleston, calypso and disco will have audiences bopping along to all the wonderful music.
The Hillcrest community invites everyone to join them at one of the performances on 15 and 16 August – at 7.30pm and Saturday, 17th at 5.30pm.
Tickets are available at www.trybooking.com/daqh.
