As far as I can see, this is just another fine example of reality television destroying yet another artistic industry. That said, the rest of the cast pulled off a tremendous expose of talent, but the show is called Joseph after all.

NCM Fathom Events and Omniverse Vision bring one of the world’s favorite shows, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat starring Donny Osmond to movie theaters nationwide in a special sing-along event. The pre-recored version of this fully staged production, originally shot at London’s famous Pinewood Studios and specially remastered for this in-theater event, will be broadcast to select theaters on Monday, March 26 at 8:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. CT / 6:00 p.m. MT / 8:00 p.m. PT/HI/AK; and again on Wednesday, April 4 at 7:00 p.m. (all time zones). Presented in an exclusive never-before-seen sing-along version with subtitles for audiences to join in, this event also features an introduction and question-and-answer session with Osmond live from Salt Lake City, plus an animated opening sequence which features an 80-piece orchestra.

Donny Osmond said: “I played the role of Joseph for six years on stage and was chosen to play the role for the movie as well; it will always be a special part of my career.  The music of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is perfect for a sing-along.  I’m excited to take part in this event that the whole family can enjoy.”

Tickets for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat are available at participating theater box offices and online at www.fathomevents.com.

The event will be broadcast to nearly 550 select movie theaters across the country through NCM’s exclusive Digital Broadcast Network.

The pre-recorded version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is based upon the worldwide smash hit production that originally opened at the world famous London Palladium in 1991 and went on to tour globally, grossing over $300 million. Shot at London’s Pinewood Studios at the height of the theatrical run in 1999, it features Osmond as Joseph, a role he played in more than 2,000 shows across the U.S. and Canada. Osmond is supported by West End diva Maria Friedman as the Narrator, Joan Collins as Mrs. Potiphar, and Sir Richard Attenborough as Jacob.  It won the prestigious Silver Rose of Montreux in the Best Music Programming category.

“Joseph is a perennial favorite for audiences throughout the world,” said Austin Shaw of Omniverse Vision. “It’s a first time musical  for so many people who either performed or saw a high school production. The sing-along version has been a huge hit in the UK, and we are proud to now present it to a U.S. audience, especially with Donny leading the way.”

Originally written in 1968 as a 25-minute ‘pop cantata,’ Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was the first staged collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.  Since the first professional productions began in the 1970s, Joseph has become one of the most popular musicals in the world – more than 20,000 groups have presented it in North America, with nearly 1,000 new productions every year around the world.  Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat follows the biblical story of Jacob and his 12 sons. Sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, Joseph finds favour with the Egyptian noble Potiphar, but finds himself thrown in jail after rejecting the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. But Joseph discovers his special powers to interpret dreams, and soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled Pharaoh.  With his bad dreams interpreted, a grateful Pharaoh rewards Joseph handsomely, making him a rich and powerful man.  Joseph’s brothers journey to Egypt to escape the famine in Canaan, and seek an audience with this “stranger.”  After begging for his forgiveness for their previous dark deeds, there is a joyful reunion between Joseph and his brothers .

“It’s time to bring this unique production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to the big screen,” said Shelly Maxwell, executive vice president of NCM Fathom Events. “This in-theater Broadway event will also feature a special Q&A with Donny Osmond to make it the ultimate fan experience.”
