JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
at the Cobb Energy Centre from July 15-17
Atlanta, GA – A crash of drums, a flash of light! And the Cobb Energy Performing Arts
Centre stage explodes with Atlanta Lyric Theatre’s spectacular staging of JOSEPH AND
THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT! This international smash hit plays the
Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, 2800 Cobb Galleria Parkway in Atlanta, from July
15-17, 2016. Tickets are on sale NOW at www.TicketMaster.com or 800-745-3000.
The first full-length musical by the legendary theatrical team of Sir Andrew Lloyd
Webber and Tim Rice, JOSEPH is a lovely, comic, and colorful journey through the
Biblical story of young Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers after his father favored
him with a gorgeous colored cloak. His gift of prophecy saves him from an uncertain fate
and helps him to rescue Egypt from famine. Animated with a high-energy mix of music
and dancing from 50's rock to calypso to country, this show is hailed for its familyfriendly storyline, universal themes, and catchy music.
Described as a high-voltage extravaganza, JOSEPH includes such classic songs as the
contemplative "Any Dream Will Do," the Caribbean infused "Benjamin Calypso," the
dazzling "Jacob and Sons/Joseph's Coat," the rockabilly sensation "Song of the King
(Seven Fat Cows)," and the unforgettable "Go, Go, Go Joseph."
Atlanta area native and international stage veteran Stanley Allyn Owen stars in the title
role with Galen Crawley as The Narrator, Broadway star and Georgia native Glenn
Rainey as Potiphar, and Shane Delancey as Pharaoh.
The cast also features J. Koby Parker (Rueben), Cansler McGehee, (Napthali), Beau
Harmon (Asher), CJ Babb (Gad), Chase Davidson (Simeon), Quentin Brown (Judah), Nick
Eibler (Zebulon), Austin Tijerina (Dan), Austin Tijerina (Issachar), and Matt Alea
(Benjamin).
