Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Published on Nov 24, 2015
From the musical ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’. Live performance by Donny Osmond and children’s choir, taken from ‘Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Royal Albert Hall Celebration’.
In the summer of 1967, Andrew Lloyd Webber was asked by Alan Doggett, head of the Music Department at Colet court, St Paul’s Junior School who taught his younger brother, Julian, to write a ‘pop cantata’ for the school choir to sing at their Easter end of term concert.
Andrew immediately approached his friend Tim Rice to ask if he would write lyrics for the project. After toying with ideas about spies, 007′s and the like, Tim suggested the story of Joseph.
