Josie and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Goat
Before you continue! I don't own the Joseph musical in any way (except on DVD, CD, tape and I have the music book) but the characters are not mine to edit...officially. I don't own it but I would very much like to one day...
A Chorus Line I mean...A Cast List
Male Narrator Josie (Joseph) Jakoba, Josie's mother (Jacob) Four Bald Male Dancers (clean shaven, waxed chests, not a hair in sight)
Josie's Sisters are: Ruby (Reuben) Simone (Simeon) (Simon spelt incorrectly) Leila (Levi) (not the jeans) Natalie (Napthali) (what kind of name is that??) Izzy (Issacher) Ashley (Asher)
Dani (Dan) Zelda (Zebulun) Gabby (Gad) (it's the best I could come up with) Judy (Judah) (this sister has to be black, American and filled with attitude) Becky (Benjamin) (couldn't they call him Ben for short?)
Also: Purdifar (Potiphar) (to be played by whoever plays Jakoba) One Bald Male Dancer to play Purdifar's Guy (the most attractive one who can dance the best and put on a really bad Spanish accent) (Mrs Potiphar) Pharaoh (see Act Two Poor, Poor Pharaoh/Song of the Queen for notes) Singer (Butler) {Singer to be played by Simone} Dancer (Butler) {Butler to be played by Izzy} Random Prisoners (to be played by about three to four sisters)
A Kids Choir, dressed in jeans, cheesy Josie and The Amazing Technicolor Dream Goat T-shirts, with white ribbons in their hair and wearing white socks and black jazz shoes Costumes must be accurate. I would know as I was a member of the Joseph Tour Choir (Bill Kenwright) in both Cardiff (Nov. 2003) and Swansea (Jan. 2004). If you saw either of those shows please leave a NICE review!! Thank yoooou!
ACT ONE
Prologue
(The curtain is down, the kids of the Josie Choir are shushing each other while cast members adjust their costume. Enter Narrator in front of closed curtain. The music starts)
Narrator: Some folks dream of the wonders they'll do,
Before their time on this planet is through,
Some just don't have anything planned,
Maybe go abroad, maybe get tanned (looks puzzled, but shrugs and continues anyway)
I don't say who is left, who is right,
But if by chance you are here for the night,
Then all I need is an hour or two,
To tell the tale of a tart just like you,
We all dream a lot,
I am lucky, (smiles) but most are not,
But if you think it,
Want it,
Dream it, then it's real,
You are what you see ... damn, I mean, feel...
But all that I sing, can be told another way!
(The curtain rises, to reveal a bunch of squirming children, in ill-fitting jeans and cheesy JOSIE T- shirts, and cast members, still fiddling with their mikes*)
In a story of a girl who's dreams came true,
And he could be ... you...
Whole Company: Josie, Josie, Is it really true?
Josie, Josie, Is it really you?
Josie... Josie...
*Mikes = microphones, in case you were wondering!
