Broadway Musical Home - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

The first Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical based on the story of Joseph from the Bible's Book of Genesis.

Story:

Joseph is sold as a slave by his brothers because of his ability to explain people's dreams. When the pharaoh calls on him to breakdown a dream, Joseph predicts a famine and is made the pharaoh's secondhand man. When the famine hits, Joseph's brothers come to him for relief and have to pass a test to prove they've changed before he'll forgive them.
