Oak Ridge Playhouse is closing out its 81st season of shows with an exciting revamp of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s beloved masterpiece, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” a press release said.

It’s one of the most enduring musicals of all time, and the Oak Ridge Playhouse will offer seven performances between Friday, May 10, and Sunday, May 19.

“From dreams to destiny, this is the extraordinary story of Joseph,” the press release said. “Witness his meteoric rise from favored son to betrayed brother, from prisoner to right-hand man. Blessed with prophetic dreams and one very colorful garment, experience Joseph’s dazzling journey like you’ve never seen before.

“With funky choreography, mesmerizing disco sounds, and hypnotic tales told through nightclub glitterati, this new spin celebrates the 1970s in all its groovy glory. The infectious melodies of iconic hits like ‘Any Dream Will Do’, ‘Close Every Door’, and ‘Go, Go, Go Joseph’ thump into the late-night hours.

“‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ has seen several different Broadway and West End revivals, national tours, even a film, but in this version by visionary director Reggie Law, the story peaks in the late seventies at the height of Studio 54,” the press release said. Bringing a new twist to a classic tale, this is a theatrical experience that invites audiences to let loose, have fun, and dance the night away.”

The large cast consists of Nathan Fink, Carly Rawlings, Matthew Foster, Jon Zierden, Nicholas Johnson, Casey Maxwell, Remington Stavros, Ephraim Sorrell, Hayden Toon, Colin Parrish, Jackson Neilson, Taylor Duffin, Jesse Rawlings, Brandon Lloyd, Josh McCormick, Anna Everence, Francesca Reggio, Tayrn Torbett, Scarlett Reyna, and Kate Lewallen.

Leading the live orchestra is musical director Braxton Chase Kiser, with scenic and costume design by Amber Cook, lighting design by Christopher Haug, choreography by Kim Clemmer, sound design by Jon Bird, and wig/hair design by Sandra Herrara, the press release said.

Tickets for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” are $26.50 for seniors/adults and $23.50 for students with a student identification. You can purchase them online at www.orplayhouse.com or by calling the Box Office at (865) 482-4877 from Tuesday to Friday from noon-5 p.m.

This production is made possible through additional support from the Tennessee Arts Commission and is being supported, in whole or in part, by federal award number SLFRP5534 awarded to the State of Tennessee by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
