MTP is excited to announce that their highly anticipated production of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT will return this Spring! This colourful show will perform on the newly renamed Auburn Stage at the Grand Theatre from May 20-29, 2022.

Get ready for MTP to take you on a trip to ancient Egypt with a story of biblical proportions! Featuring renowned music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and unforgettable lyrics by Tim Rice, JOSEPH has been a beloved and celebrated musical for over 50 years, having starred David Cassidy, Jason Donovan, Michael Damian, and Donny Osmond in the title role. It tells the Old Testament inspiring tale of staying true to one’s dreams to overcome any obstacle: it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, anyone can achieve greatness. After all, any dream will do.

Featuring memorable and infectious numbers such as, “Go! Go! Go! Joseph,” “Close Every Door,” “Joseph’s Coat,” and “Any Dream Will Do”, this production will teach a powerful lesson on how living your true colours is the path to achieving your dreams.

UNDERSTUDY PERFORMANCE

On Saturday May 21 at 1:30pm, MTP is delighted to present a special performance of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT featuring two of our talented understudies. At this performance the role of Joseph will be played by Lucas McHugh, and the roles of Dan / Butler will be played by Amy Dickson.

RELAXED PERFORMANCE

MTP is pleased to offer a relaxed performance of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT on Sunday May 22 at 1:30pm sponsored by Tool & Cutter. During this matinee presentation, noise from the house/audience will be welcome, and the house lights will be left on and there will be an ASL interpreter. This performance is designed to provide a comfortable and accessible experience for everyone - and is especially an opportunity to welcome anyone who may not otherwise be able to enjoy the theatrical experience such as those with special needs including autism, people who are deaf, hard of hearing or deafened, those with mobility issues, and those with babes in arms. For anyone who would not enjoy this relaxed audience environment, we invite you to attend any of our other regular performances.
