Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
King Opera House
“Sha la la, Joseph, you’re doing fine! You and your dreamcoat, ahead of your time!” One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors.
Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.
A performance by the CSA Students.

About the C-47A: “That’s All, Brother” (Named by its D-Day crew as message to Adolf Hitler)
“That’s All, Brother” was the C-47A troop carrier aircraft that led the Airborne Invasion on D-Day,
June 6, 1944, carrying 101 st Airborne Division paratroopers into France. “That’s All Brother” also
served in Operation Dragoon, Market Garden, the Relief of Bastogne, and Operation Varsity. After
the war, the aircraft was sold as surplus. In 2007, it was discovered by a historian in a boneyard in
Oshkosh, WI. In 2015, the CAF rescued the aircraft and began the restoration. A successful
fundraising campaign raised over $3 million to restore “That’s All, Brother” to its original D-Day
configuration.
