Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was created by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. The story is based on the “coat of many colours” story of Joseph from the Bible’s Book of Genesis. Joseph was first presented as a 15-minute “pop cantata” in London in 1968. The musical had its professional premiere, as a 35-minute musical, at the Edinburgh International Festival in 1972.
