“Joseph has roared back to life…” at the Arvada Center this Holiday

Review: Arvada Center gives “Joseph” fresh coat ***1/2  (3 1/2 Stars out of 4)

By John Moore
Denver Post Theater Critic

Ladies and gentlemen, direct from Caesar’s Palace via the Grizzly Rose, this is “Jooooooooseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!”

Taking cues from Vegas, “American Idol,” “Top Chef,” the Middle East and the Wild West, the Arvada Center is bringing back go-go-go Joe like you’ve never seen him before…

The sets are spectacular, the dances dizzying, the voices mellifluous and the abundant skin supple. The sets smoke, and the cast is smoking. There’s serious wattage on display here — and the lights are pretty, too.

The costumes — 416 handmade pieces in all — are incredibly detailed. The brothers are dressed in designer jeans and Rockmount-like Western shirts covered by sheepskin leather vests. The backs are adorned with the exact insignia of the tribe each biblical brother went on to create, along with his name inscribed in Hebrew.
