Coming to the big screen?!

The most recent West End production of Joseph ©Tristram Kenton

It seems that a new film adaptation of 'Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat' is in the pipe line at some point in the future. Although no release date has yet been announced there have been positive trickles of information in and around the Westend of late.

As WADAOS prepares to produce its own stage production of Joseph this year it seems quite fitting.

The 1999 All star film adaptation

It remains to be seen whether the new film will trump the original all star film of the same name from 1999 with Donny Osmond, Richard Attenborough, Ian McNeice, Joan Collins , and Robert Torti. I guess that judgement will be down to you!

We wait in anticipation!

Throwback to 1996! 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'

Front cover of the Souvenir Programme 1996

This year our main production will be "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" The last time WADAOS produced this show was in 1996.

Joseph was played by Mr John Branch and the Pharaoh by Mr Stephen Smith. We had a full Chorus and Children's Chorus for this production making an impressive ensemble indeed.

It is an interesting fact that in order to comply with the shows licensing conditions the show was held and performed in the Whitehaven School Hall. The show was a sell out.

In the Whitehaven news it was reported about the seven sheep and one goat played by very small children in 'woolly costumes enjoying themselves and playing dead excellently'
