As in other years, one of our percussionists and his brother are involved in a musical theatre production in November. This year, it will be Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (music by Andrew Lloyd Webber).
I would encourage everyone to support our bandmate if you are able. (He made a great narrator for Zoolantis! so we know he’s got talent! I’m expecting a fun show!) It really does mean a lot to have friendly faces in the audience! I’m tentatively planning to attend the Saturday matinee if anyone is interested in sitting together!
Here’s the information that was shared:
About Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows the 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.
Rating: G – Joseph is fun for the whole family!
Approximate Runtime: 2h with intermission
Shows: Thursday, November 20, Friday, November 21, and Saturday 22 at 7 pm, or 2 pm (Matinee).
Location: Jubilee Place at MBCI, 173 Talbot Avenue. There is accessible seating at the corners of the theatre and also platform seats after Seat 12 for those who are unable to do stairs.
Tickets: $25 for Adults, $15 for Children – If you purchase tickets directly via our bandmate, processing fees are waived.
Although there is no canteen, as the school doesn’t allow food or drinks inside the theatre, there will be a 15 minutes intermission, so feel free to bring a drink, water, and snacks for yourself if you need them.
If you’re interested and not able to attend our remaining two Millennium events (this Thursday and Saturday), please reach out to info@mbmillenniumband.com and we will connect you with the individuals involved.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth.
