JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
Presented by the award-winning Hessle Theatre Company, this vibrant production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat brings Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s beloved family musical to the Hull New Theatre from March 10–14, 2026.
This "sparkling new production" retells the classic Biblical story of Joseph, his eleven jealous brothers, and his journey from a humble shepherd to the right-hand man of Pharaoh. Known for its eclectic musical styles—ranging from country-western to calypso and Elvis-inspired rock and roll—the show is a high-energy celebration of hope, family, and the power of dreams.
This production follows Hessle Theatre Company’s long-standing tradition of professional-standard community theatre, marking over 100 years of high-quality performances in East Yorkshire.
The show programme for Hessle Theatre Company’s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is designed to be more than just a list of credits; it is a vibrant memento of a landmark 100th-anniversary season.
Inside, the programme offers a deep dive into the creative journey behind the scenes. It features exclusive insights from Director Martin Beaumont, who discusses the integration of innovative video technology into this classic staging. Readers can explore detailed biographies of the lead cast—including Ben Bailey as Joseph and Elinor Kirby as the Narrator—as well as a special section dedicated to the thirty local children who make up the heart of the production's chorus.
