We do not yet have the camels or the breakaway goat, but if you give us enough time, we'll do our best to accommodate! The rest of the show is available.
Plot Synopsis
Told entirely in song, this biblical tale... actually a grab-bag of rock, country, vaudeville song-and-dance, French ballad, and calypso...relates the tale of Joseph, Jacob's favorite of 12 sons, to whom papa gives a resplendent coat of many colors. Joseph's jealous brothers thereupon sell him into slavery and he is taken to Egypt where he interprets the dreams of an Elvis Presley-type Pharaoh. His wise prophecy so impresses the Pharaoh that he becomes Egypt's Number Two man and saves the country from famine.
