Win FREE Tickets to Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Pin It

The giveaways keep coming!  This week we're excited to bring you FREE tickets, courtesy of our friends at CYT, to check out their upcoming performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  

The CYT website describes the performance as:

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Jacob’s favorite son Joseph is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. He is purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances from the Mrs. lands him in jail. When news of Joseph’s gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.

The production runs from March 1 - 4, 2012 at the Goppert Theater Avila University which is located at
11901 Wornall Road in Kansas City, Missouri.  Show schedule and ticket info may be found by clicking here.

And now for the fun!  Our partners at CYT have generously given us a family 4-pack of tickets to give away to FIVE winners!  To enter, please see the giveaway info below.  Please note you MUST be a subscriber of our Weekly e-News to be eligible for the random drawing.  Good luck!
