Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has made a welcome return to the Players Theatre at Ballina with all the colour befitting this popular show.

In the capable hands of the multi-talented Paul and Sue Belsham and Jamie Sheehan, Ballina’s revival of this piece is proving to be another great production for the home of “Regional Theatre at its best”.

Previously staged in 2010, the cast includes Joseph, Brian Pamphilon; Narrator, Lee Milward; Mike Sheehan, Reuben; Rod Ramsay, Mr Potiphar and Lynn Gough, Mrs Potiphar - all recreating their roles from the earlier production. They are joined by a host of regular Ballina performers and a few new faces as well.

The staging and technical support was of the standard one has come to expect for the Players productions and the spectacular costumes by Kim Sharpe plus a 14 member, well rehearsed Children’s choir and the four-piece orchestra, the music complemented the production and enhanced the total experience, which was well received by the capacity audience.
