Page "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" Paragraph 7

In late August and September 1972, Joseph was presented at the Edinburgh International Festival by the Young Vic Theatre Company, directed by Frank Dunlop.

It starred Gary Bond in the title role, Peter Reeves as the narrator, and Gordon Waller as Pharaoh.

In October the production played at London's Young Vic Theatre, and in November at the Roundhouse.

The production was part of a double bill called Bible One: Two Looks at the Book of Genesis.

Part I, entitled The Genesis Mediaeval Mystery Plays: The Creation to Jacob ( at the Young Vic originally called simply Mediaeval Mystery Plays ), was Dunlop's reworking of the first six of the medieval Wakefield Mystery Plays, with music by Alan Doggett.

Part II was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The Young Vic production was recorded for an LP released on the RSO label in 1972.

This production was also televised in the UK by Granada Television in 1972.
