SYNOPSIS:

This family friendly show is told entirely through song with the help of the Narrator. The musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.

Presale will begin on Oct. 7, 2024 for West End Theatre mailing list subscribers.

General on sale will began on Nov. 4, 2024. Tickets will be available online at www.saultctc.ca or in person at the Station Mall Box Office.

The 2025 Season presenting sponsor is Pharmasave.
