Artist: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Genre: Theater
Background: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the first collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, tells the story of a young man named Joseph living in the land of Canaan. His father's favorite son, Joseph is perhaps a little spoiled. While the rest of his brothers are forced to wear sheepskin, he struts around in a fabulous rainbow-colored coat, a gift from his adoring father. The rest of Joseph's brothers aren't too pleased with the situation, and when Joseph goes so far as to tell them of a dream he has had in which their stacks of wheat bow down to his stack of wheat, they decide they have finally had enough.

Jacob lived in Biblical times and had twelve sons of whom Joseph was his favorite. Joseph's brothers resented the favoritism and the fact that Joseph had high aspirations. Jacob gave Joseph a beautiful coat and that was the last straw for his brothers. They threw him in a pit and were going to leave him when they were approached by Egyptians. They changed their minds and sold Joseph off to slavery in Egypt, telling their father he had been killed by a goat. Through hard work and his ability to interpret dreams, Joseph works his way up the Egyptian social ladder until he is the assistant to the Pharaoh. When a famine strikes, Joseph's brothers end up in Egypt begging Joseph for food. After testing them, Joseph gives them food and reveals his identity and the whole family moves to Egypt.
