In the summer of 1967, Andrew Lloyd Webber was asked by Alan Doggett, head of the Music Department at Colet court, St Paul’s Junior School who taught his younger brother, Julian, to write a ‘pop cantata’ for the school choir to sing at their Easter end of term concert.
Andrew immediately approached his friend Tim Rice to ask if he would write lyrics for the project. After toying with ideas about spies, 007′s and the like, Tim suggested the story of Joseph.
The first performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was on a cold winter afternoon on 1st March 1968 at the Old Assembly Hall, Colet Court, Hammersmith.
Accompanied by the School orchestra and conducted by Alan Doggett, the performance was only 15 minutes long.
It was such a success that a second performance was arranged on 12th May 1968 at Central Hall, Westminster, where Andrew’s father was the organist. Julian Lloyd Webber gave a classical recital in the first half, along with Bill Lloyd Webber. The audience of approximately 2,500 consisted mainly of parents of the Colet Court boys. To Andrew and Tim’s surprise, Derek Jewell, Jazz and Pop Critic for The Sunday Times, saw the show and wrote a favourable review of Joseph, which appeared on 19th May 1968. A third performance took place on 9th November 1968 at St Paul’s Cathedral, where Joseph was expanded to include songs such as ‘Potiphar’ for the first time.

I was in Joseph it is is the best stage show EVER

[@jasobres]

I bet Maria Friedman was simply acting like a diva because she knew this would end up in the documentary.

[@emilyarbic8768]

jasobres by the way you’re talking about my mentor. I would watch what you say. Maria Friedman might have something to say about you. No one talks smack about my mentor.

@@emilyarbic8768 She's pretending to direct this film by David Mallet. She did direct other plays.

this is what I need because am making my own Joseph Musical with me in it as Joseph just like this musical but the one that I did with Outside lives I was a bit disappointed because of my friend David wants to be Joseph but this time I don't want Outside lives to help me making it but I do want performing arts to help me making it because they did do Alice in wonderland because I was in my holidays so I will tell them if they can make the musical of Joseph
