The production features musical direction by Don LeMaster and choreography by Johnny Dean Harvey and Chad Everett Allen.
The musical, penned by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, includes a cast of 25 and a youth choir of 18. Joseph…, according to press notes, is the "hilarious telling of the story of Joseph, his jealous brothers and one extremely loud garment!
