The Arvada Center presents

Joseph

and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
November 24 – December 27, 2009

ARVADA, CO – The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities presents an all new staging of the award-winning production Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, running November 24 – December 27, 2009 in the Main Stage Theater.

          A Musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, Joseph returns to the Arvada Center for a limited, one-time only production for the holidays! This award- winning show promises to delight returning audiences and awe first timers with the joyful and “colorful” retelling of the biblical life of Joseph. Filled with high-spirited songs and energetic choreography, this next generation of Joseph is great for all generations, making it a perfect holiday event for the entire family.

          You’ve never seen this Joseph before! David B. Johnson* (Joseph) is extremely excited to be working with the Arvada Center again after a successful run of Miss Saigon. Regional Credits include West Side Story Review (Riff) Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, My Way and Fame at Shawnee Playhouse, Hay Fever (Richard) and Forever Plaid (Frankie) Little Theatre of The Rockies, and Oklahoma! (Curly) at Discoveryland in Tulsa. David holds a BA in Musical Theater from University of Northern Colorado, and is excited to finally move to New York in the near future. Much thanks to the director, cast, and production team.
