The Wick’s ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ Explodes with Exuberance, Color, and Talent!
Happy holidays from The Wick Theatre. And thank you for the perfect holiday gift! An age-old story of family conflict, jealousies and betrayal that are ultimately forgiven (after hard lessons learned and true remorse) remains a beacon to the power of goodness, love and hope. The Old Testament’s recital of the saga of Joseph son of Jacob, aka Israel, his experiences in Egypt, and with his brothers (destined to become the 12 tribes of Israel) is a human drama as ancient as the Bible.
