“Jubilant”- The Guardian

 

Directed by Caleb Marshall, with choreography by Jessica Hickman, and music direction by Jeff Poynter, this musical dreamscape of comedy and adventure follows the story of Joseph, the favourite son blessed with prophetic dreams, on his journey to Egypt after being sold into servitude by his siblings. This family-friendly production is filled with toe-tapping musical numbers that will surely have you dancing in your seats!

“This is the show that reinvented the modern musical, reinvented once again” says director Caleb Marshall. “Joseph carved the path for the early rock and roll musicals, using music from almost every decade of the 20th century enveloped into a quilt of unique styles and theatricality.” From country western numbers fully realized on stage, to 1950s rock n’ roll numbers fully brought to life, audiences will be immersed into a dreamscape of different worlds throughout the classic Andrew Lloyd-Webber score, using large-scale staging, choreography and nearly every theatrical trick the McPherson Playhouse has available. “Including,” continues Marshall, “a few surprises that I think are really going to create some awe and wonder.”
