Welcome back to many centuries ago for Theatre by the Sea’s third show of their historic 85th Season. This show is set in the 1960’s and is “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” which is the biblical story of Jacob and his 12 sons. It is a spectacular production starring Marie Eife as the Narrator and Luke Steinhauer as Joseph. It was written in 1968 by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice as a 15 minute cantata and now is a two hour high energy show that has a 22 member cast under the brilliant direction of Richard Sabellico who is also the choreographer plus marvelous musical direction by Ryan Edward Wise. Their combined expertise make this a must see show this summer.
