The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams and his father's favor.

Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to buble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.
