Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat comes to Ireland

X Factor’s Lloyd Daniels brings Jason and his amazing dreamcoat to Ireland, writes Jo Kerrigan

WHEN Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber composed a small cantata for a London prep school some 46 years ago, they could hardly have had an idea of what they started.

That original 15-minute performance became a worldwide hit. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is now the longest-running touring musical of all time. A guaranteed success and seat-filler for professional productions in big venues, it’s also been staged by more than 20,000 schools and amateur theatre groups. Everybody has seen it at some point, and everyone can sing along to ‘Any Dream Will Do’.
