Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat
Choreographer
This wildly reimagined Joseph at Drury Lane Theatre in Chicago was Grady’s second collaboration with director Alan Souza. Set inside the iconic pyramid of the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas, Joseph was portrayed as an everyman caught in the spectacle, while the Narrator transformed into a dazzling array of Vegas headliner impersonations.
“It’s not often that the words ‘spoiler alert’ need to be written in the very opening sentence of a review. But the wildly imaginative conceit that drives Drury Lane Theatre’s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat creates such an alternative universe to the original version that such a warning is essential.
You will instantly sense just how ingenious and hilarious the concept brought to the musical by director Alan Souza, musical director Alan Bukowiecki and choreographer Grady McLeod Bowman really is. And while you might very well re-title the production Joseph: The Remix, you will leave the theater smiling.
No, this is not your parents’ or grandparents’ Joseph. But I will say both ‘bravo’ and ‘amen’ to that.”
