[6] It starred Gary Bond in the title role, Peter Reeves as the narrator, and Gordon Waller as Pharaoh; Alan Doggett was the music director. In October the production played at London's Young Vic Theatre, and in November at the Roundhouse. The production was part of a double bill called Bible One: Two Looks at the Book of Genesis. Part I was Dunlop's reworking of the first six of the medieval Wakefield Mystery Plays, with music by Alan Doggett. Part II was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. [18] This production of Joseph, still a 35-minute musical, was also broadcast in the UK by Granada Television in 1972. [20] Live performance is a living thing with the power to influence new and younger audiences. It is a power that must be wielded carefully through the lens of the current day, or we risk alienating entire segments of our audience and perpetuating historic injustices. This production marks a lost opportunity to bring core tenets of Christianity (‘love thy neighbour as yourself’) to a new generation. What does work well in this production is the ensemble: director Laurence Connor has created a sense of the collective with this cast. The songs are most memorable when delivered in enthusiastic unison. The ensemble succeeds in delivering with such gusto that Doidge’s Joseph often pales in comparison. He is not given the chance to show the same command of the stage he has shown in previous break-out roles (such as Blaine Tuttle in Cruel Intentions: the ’90s Musical ).
