Celebrating its 50th year of storytelling, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is currently being performed at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center. This Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice classic is a biblical reimagining of Joseph and his coat of many colors, following the journey of Israel's favorite son, his trials with his eleven brothers, and the triumps in giving and forgiveness.

The Axelrod Performing Arts Center added an extra show this season-Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat-for beachgoing theatergoers on the Jersey Shore. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's first collaboration, which has had many lives over its fifty years, has been reimagined by director-choreographer Matthew Steffens and musical directorconductor Andrew Sotomayor. "So much of the score is iconic, but we had a tremendous desire to freshen it up, so we have voices and orchestrated the production so this is a one-of-a-kind production just for the Axelrod," says Steffens.
