MUSIC 1: PROLOGUE
NARRATOR
SOME FOLKS DREAM OF THE WONDERS THEY'LL DO
BEFORE THEIR TIME ON THIS PLANET IS THROUGH.
SOME JUST DONT HAVE ANYTHING PLANNED
THEY HIDE THEIR HOPES AND THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND.
 I DONT SAY WHO IS WRONG, WHO IS RIGHT,
IF BY CHANCE YOU ARE HERE FOR THE NIGHT
THEN ALL I NEED IS AN HOUR OR TWO
TO TELL THE TALE OF A DREAMER LIKE YOU.
WE ALL DREAM A LOT
SOME ARE LUCKY, SOME ARE NOT,
BUT IF YOU THINK IT, WANT IT, DREAM IT
THEN ITS REAL-
YOU ARE WHAT YOU FEEL.
BUT ALL THAT I SAY CAN BE TOLD ANOTHER WAY
IN THE STORY OF A BOY WHOSE DREAM CAME TRUE.

AND IT COULD BE YOU.

("Any Dream Will Do')

JOSEPH
I CLOSED MY EYES
DREW BACK THE CURTAIN
TO SEE FOR CERTAIN
WHATITHOUGHTIKNEW.
FAR, FAR AWAY SOMEONE WAS WEEPING,
BUT THE WORLD WAS SLEEPING.
ANY DREAM WILL DO.

AND IN THE EAST

THE DAWN WAS BREAKING

AND THE WORLD WAS WAKING

ANY DREAM WILL DO

A CRASH OF DRUMS, A FLASH OF LIGHT
MY GOLDEN COAT FLEW OUT OF SIGHT
THE COLOURS FADED INTO DARKNESS
I WAS LEFT ALONE
 MAY I RETURN

TO THE BEGINNING

THE LIGHT IS DIMMING

AND THE DREAM IS TOO

MUSIC 2 (PART 2): JOSEPH'S COAT

JACOB
JOSEPH'S MOTHER, SHE WAS QUITE MY FAV'RTTE WIFE,
I NEVER REALLY LOVED ANOTHER ALL MY LIFE,
AND JOSEPH WAS MY JOY BECAUSE

HE REMINDED ME OF HER.

NARRATOR
THROUGH YOUNG JOSEPH
JACOB LIVED HIS YOUTH AGAIN.
LOVED HIM, PRAISED HIM,
GAVE HIM ALL HE COULD, BUT THEN
IT MADE THE REST
FEEL SECOND BEST

AND EVEN IF THEY WERE

BROTHERS
BEING TOLD WE'RE ALSO RANS
DOES NOT MAKE US JOSEPH FANS,
NARRTOR
BUT WHERE THEY HAVE REALLY MISSED THE BOAT IS
BROTHERS
WE'RE GREAT GUYS, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO NOTICE.
NARRATOR
JOSEPH'S CHARM AND WINNING SMILES
FAILED TO SLAY THEM IN THE AISLES,
AND THEIR FATHER COULDNT SEE THE DANGER
HE COULD NOT IMAGINE ANY DANGER.
HE JUST SAW IN JOSEPH ALL HIS DREAMS COME TRUE.
JACOB WANTED TO SHOW THE WORLD HE LOVED HIS SON,
TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT JOSEPH WAS THE SPECIAL ONE
SO JACOB BOUGHT HIS SON A COAT,

A MULTI-COLOURED COAT TO WEAR.

BROTHERS
JOSEPH'S COAT
WAS ELEGANT, THE CUT WAS FINE.
THE TASTEFUL STYLE WAS THE
 ULTIMATE IN GOOD DESIGN
AND THIS IS WHY
IT CAUGHT THE EYE.

A KING WOULD STOP AND STARE.

NARRATOR
AND WHEN JOSEPH TRIED IT ON
HE KNEW HIS SHEEPSKIN DAYS WERE GONE.
NARRATOR, CHOIR & CHOIR
SUCH A DAZZLING COAT OF MANY COLOURS.
HOW HE LOVED HIS COAT OF MANY COLOURS.

SUCH A STUNNING COAT OF MANY COLOURS,
HOW HE LOVED HIS COAT OF MANY COLOURS. AH

JOSEPH'S BROTHERS
WEREN'T TOO PLEASED WITH WHAT THEY SAW.

HAS GOT OUR GOAT,
WE FEEL LIFE IS UNFAIR.

AND WHEN JOSEPH GRACED THE SCENE
HIS BROTHERS TURNED A SHADE OF GREEN.
HIS ASTOUNDING CLOTHING TOOK THE BISQUIT,
NARRATOR & BROTHERS
QUITE THE SMOOTHEST PERSON IN THE DISTRICT.
JOSEPH
I LOOK HANDSOME I LOOK SMART
I AM A WALKING WORK OF ART.
SUCH A DAZZLING COAT OF MANY COLOURS,

MUSIC 3: JOSEPH'S DREAMS

NARRATOR
JOSEPH'S COAT ANNOYED HIS BROTHERS.
BROTHERS
BUT WHAT MAKES US MAD
ARE THE THINGS THAT JOSEPH TELLS US OF-

THE DREAMS HE'S OFTEN HAD.

JOSEPH
I DREAMED THAT IN THE FIELDS ONE DAY
THE CORN GAVE ME A SIGN.
YOUR ELEVEN SHEAVES OF CORN ALL TURNED AND BOWED TO MINE.
MY SHEAF WAS QUITE A SIGHT TO SEE,
A GOLDEN SHEAF AND TALL.
YOURS WERE GREEN AND SECOND RATE AND REALLY RATHER SMALL.
BROTHERS
THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF THING WE BROTHERS LIKE TO HEAR.
IT SEEMS TO US THAT JOSEPH AND
HIS DREAMS SHOULD DISAPPEAR.

JOSEPH

I DREAMED I SAW ELEVEN STARS,

THE SUN AND MOON AND SKY
BOWING DOWN BEFORE MY STAR,
IT MADE ME WONDER WHY.
COULD IT BE THAT I WAS BORN FOR HIGHER THINGS THAN YOU?
A POST IN SOMEONE'S GOVERNMENT,
A MINIST'RY OR TWO?
BROTHERS
THE DREAMS OF OUR DEAR BROTHER ARE THE DECADE'S BIGGEST YAWN.
HIS TALK OF STARS AND GOLDEN SHEAVES IS JUST A LOAD OF CORN.
NOT ONLY IS HE TACTLESS BUT HE'S ALSO RATHER DIM.
FOR THERE'S ELEVEN OF US AND THERE'S ONLY ONE OF HIM.
THE DREAMS OF COURSE WILL NOT COME TRUE.
THAT IS, WE THINK THEY WONT COME TRUE.
 THAT IS, WE HOPE THEY WONT COME TRUE.
WHAT IF HE'S RIGHT ALL ALONG?
THE DREAMS ARE MORE THAN CRYSTAL CLEAR THE WRITING ON THE WALL
MEANS THAT JOSEPH SOMEDAY SOON WILL RISE ABOVE US ALL.
THE ACCURACY OF THE DREAMS WE BROTHERS DO NOT KNOW,
BUT ONE THING WE ARE SURE ABOUT,

BROTHERS
THE DREAMER

THE DREAMER

THE DREAMER

THE DREAMER

THE DREAMER

DREAMER

DREAMER

DREAMER

BROTHERS & GIRLS

DREAMER HAS TO GO.
MUSIC 4: POOR, POOR JOSEPH
NARRATOR
NEXT DAY FAR FROM HOME
THE BROTHERS PLANNED THE REPULSIVE CRIME.

BROTHERS
LET US GRAB HIM NOW
DO HIM IN WHILE WE'VE GOT THE TIME.
NARRATOR
THIS THEY DID AND MADE THE MOST OF IT
TORE HIS COAT AND FLUNG HIM IN A PIT.
BROTHERS
LET US LEAVE HIM HERE
ALL ALONE AND HE'S BOUND TO DIE
NARRATOR
 WHEN SOME ISHAMAELITES
A HAIRY CREW CAME RIDING BY.
IN A FLASH THE BROTHERS CHANGES THEIR PLAN.
BROTHERS
WE NEED CASH
LET'S SELL HIM IF WE CAN.
NARRATOR
POOR, POOR JOSEPH
WHAT'CHA GONNA DO?
THINGS LOOK BAD FOR YOU HEY,
WHAT YA GONNA DO?
POOR, POOR JOSEPH
WHATCHA GONNA DO
THINGS LOOK BAD FOR YOU HEY
WHAT YA GONNA DO?
BROTHERS
COULD YOU USE A SLAVE
YOU HAIRY BUNCH OF ISHMAELITES?
YOUNG, STRONG, WELL-BEHAVED, GOING CHEAP
AND HE READS AND WRITES.
NARRATOR
IN A TRICE THE DIRTY DEAL WAS DONE.
SILVER COINS FOR JACOB'S FAVORITE SON.
THEN THE ISHMAELITES GALLOPED OFF WITH A SLAVE IN TOW
OFF TO EGYPT WHERE JOSEPH WAS NOT KEEN TO GO.
IT WOULDN'T BE A PICNIC HE COULD TELL,
JOSEPH
AND I DON'T SPEAK EGYPTIAN VERY WELL.

NARRATOR
JOSEPH'S BROTHERS TORE HIS PRECIOUS MULTI-COLOURED COAT.
HAVING RIPPED IT UP
THEY NEXT ATTACKED A PASSING GOAT.
SOON THE WRETCHED CREATURE WAS NO MORE.
THEY DIPPED HIS COAT IN BLOOD AND GUTS AND GORE.
NARRATOR
OH NOW BROTHERS
HOW LOW CAN YOU STOOP?
YOU MAKE A SORDID GROUP,
HEY, HOW LOW CAN YOU STOOP?
POOR, POOR JOSEPH,
SOLD TO BE A SLAVE.
SITUATION GRAVE,
 HEY, SOLD TO BE A SLAVE.

WHEN I THINK OF HIS LAST GREAT BATTLE,

HIS BODY MAY BE PAST ITS PEAK,
BUT HIS SOUL'S IN PARADISE.

SITUATIONS GRAVE.
HEY, SOLD TO BE A SLAVE.
CAMEL (ONE BROTHER)
POOR, POOR JOSEPH
WHAT'CHA GONNA DO?

NARRATOR
JOSEPH WAS TAKEN TO EGYPT IN CHAINS AND SOLD.
WHERE HE WAS BOUGHT BY A CAPTAIN NAME POTIPHAR.
 MUSIC 6A: POTIPHAR
NARRATOR & 3 BOYS
POTIPHAR HAD VERY FEW CARES.
HE WAS ONE OF EGYPT'S MILLIONAIRES
HAVING MADE A FORTUNE BUYING SHARES IN

POTIPHAR
PYRAMIDS.
NARRATOR & 3 BOYS
POTIPHAR HAD MADE A HUGE PILE,
OWNED A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE NILE,
POTIPHAR
MEANT THAT I COULD REALLY LIVE IN STYLE-
NARRATOR & 3 BOYS
AND HE DID.
NARRATOR
JOSEPH WAS AN UNIMPORTANT SLAVE WHO FOUND HE LIKED HIS MASTER,
CONSEQUENTLY WORKED MUCH HARDER, EVEN WITH DEVOTION.
POTIPHAR COULD SEE THAT JOSEPH WAS A CUT ABOVE THE AV'RAGE,
MADE HIM LEADER OF HIS HOUSEHOLD,
MAXIMUM PROMOTION.
NARRATOR & 3 BOYS
POTIPHAR WAS COOL AND SO FINE,
POTIPHAR
BUT MY WIFE WOULD NEVER TOE THE LINE.
NARRATOR & 3 BOYS
(IT'S ALL THERE IN CHAPTER 39 OF GENESIS.)
POTIPHAR
Don't believe all that you read, dears.
NARRATOR & 3 BOYS
SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL BUT
MRS. POTIPHAR
EVIL:
NARRATOR & 3 BOYS
SAW A LOT OF MEN AGAINST HIS WILL.
HE WOULD HAVE TO TELL HER THAT SHE STILL WAS HIS.
POTIPHAR
You're mine.
NARRATOR
JOSEPH'S LOOKS AND HANDSOME FIGURE HAD ATTRACTED HER ATTENTION.
EVERY MORNING SHE WOULD BECKON:
MRS. POTIPHAR
COME AND LIE WITH ME, LOVE.
 NARRATOR
JOSEPH WANTED TO RESIST HER TILL ONE DAY SHE PROVED TO EAGER.

JOSEPH CRIED IN VAIN:

JOSEPH
PLEASE STOP! I DON'T BELIEVE IN FREE LOVE.
MRS. POTIPHAR
(Instrumental.)
NARRATOR
POTIPHAR WAS COUNTING SHECKELS IN HIS DEN BELOW THE BEDROOM
WHEN HE HEARD A MIGHTY RUMPUS CLATTERING ABOVE HIM.
SUDDENLY HE KNEW HIS RICHES COULDN'T BUY HIM WHAT HE WANTED;
GOLD WOULD NEVER MAKE HIM HAPPY IF SHE DIDNT LOVE HIM.

NARRATOR
LETTING OUT A MIGHTY ROAR,
POTIPHAR BURST THROUGH THE DOOR.
POTIPHAR
(Spoken)
JOSEPH, I'LL SEE YOU ROT IN JAIL
THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE ARE BEYOND THE PALE.
NARRATOR
POOR, POOR JOSEPH LOCKED UP IN A CELL.
THING'S AINT GOING WELL,

LOCKED UP IN A CELL

MUSIC 7: CLOSE EVERY DOOR

JOSEPH
CLOSE EV'RY DOOR TO ME, HIDE ALL THE WORLD FROM ME.
BAR ALL THE WINDOWS AND SHUT OUT THE LIGHT.
DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH ME, HATE ME AND LAUGH AT ME.
DARKEN MY DAYTIME AND TORTURE MY NIGHT.
IF MY LIFE WAS IMPORTANT I
WOULD ASK "WILL I LIVE OR DIE?"
 BUT I KNOW THE ANSWERS LIE FAR FROM THIS WORLD.
CLOSE EV'RY DOOR TO ME, KEEP THOSE I LOVE FROM ME,

CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ARE NEVER ALONE.

FOR I KNOW I SHALL FIND MY OWN PEACE OF MIND
FOR I HAVE BEEN PROMISED A LAND OF MY OWN.
CHOIR
CLOSE EV'RY DOOR TO ME, HIDE ALL THE WORLD FROM ME,
BAR ALL THE WINDOWS AND SHUT OUT THE LIGHT.
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA (etc.)

JUST GIVE ME A NUMBER INSTEAD OF MY NAME,
FORGET ALL ABOUT ME AND LET ME DECAY.
I DO NOT MATTER,
I'M ONLY ONE PERSON,
DESTROY ME COMPLETELY THEN THROW ME AWAY.
IF MY LIFE WERE IMPORTANT I
WOULD ASK "WILL I LIVE OR DIE?"
BUT I KNOW THE ANSWERS LIE FAR FROM THIS WORLD.
JOSEPH, GIRLS & CHOIR
CLOSE EVERY DOOR TO ME
KEEP THOSE I LOVE FROM ME
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ARE NEVER ALONE
JOSEPH, GIRLS, BOYS & CHOIR
FOR WE KNOW WE SHALL FIND
OUR OWN PEACE OF MIND,
JOSEPH
FOR WE HAVE BEEN PROMISED
ALL
A LAND OF OUR OWN.

USIC 8: GO. GO. GO JOSEPH

NARRATOR
JOSEPH'S LUCK WAS REALLY OUT,
HIS SPIRITS AND HIS FORTUNE LOW.
ALONE HE SAT, ALONE HE THOUGHT
OF HAPPY TIMES HE USED TO KNOW.
SOLO BOY 1
HEY DREAMER! DON'T BE SO UPSET.
SOLO BOY 2
 HEY JOSEPH! YOU'RE NOT BEATEN YET.

NARRATOR & BOYS

GO, GO, GO JOSEPH YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY-
HANG ON NOW JOSEPH YOU'LL MAKE IT SOME DAY.
DON'T GIVE UP JOSEPH FIGHT TILL YOU DROP.
WE'VE READ THE BOOK AND YOU COME OUT ON TOP.
NARRATOR
THE PRISON WALLS WERE WET AND BLACK,
HIS CHAINS WERE HEAVY -- WEIGHED HIM DOWN.
A CANDLE WAS HIS ONLY LIGHT,
THE HUNGRY RATS THE ONLY SOUND.
SOLO BOY 1
HEY DREAMER! DONT BE SO UPSET.
SOLO BOY 2
HEY JOSEPH! YOU'RE NOT BEATEN YET.
NARRATOR, BOYS & GIRLS
GO, GO, GO JOSEPH YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY-

NARRATOR
NOW INTO JOSEPH'S PRISON CELL WERE FLUNG TWO VERY FRIGHTENED MEN:
BAKER & BUTLER
WE DONT THINK THAT WE WILL EVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN.
HEY JOSEPH, HELP US IF YOU CAN.
WE'VE HAD DREAMS THAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
GIRLS & BOYS
BOTH MEN WERE SERVANTS OF PHARAOH THE KING.
BOTH IN THE DOGHOUSE FOR DOING THEIR THING.
NARRATOR
ONE WAS A BAKER, A COOK IN HIS PRIME.
ONE WAS A BUTLER, THE JEEVES OF HIS TIME.
JOSEPH
TELL ME OF YOUR DREAMS MY FRIENDS,
AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY SHOW.
THOUGH I CANNOT GUARANTEE TO GET IT RIGHT, I'LL HAVE A GO.
NARRATOR
FIRST THE BUTLER, TREMBLING, TOOK THE FLOOR.

THE COLOURS FADED INTO DARKNESS-
I WAS LEFT ALONE.

JOSEPH & NARRATOR

MAY I RETURN

TO THE BEGINNING

THE LIGHT IS DIMMING,

AND THE DREAM IS TOO.

THE WORLD AND I,

WE ARE STILL WAITING

STILL HESITATING.

ANY DREAM WILL DO.

STILL HESITATING-
ANY DREAM WILL DO.
JOSEPH, NARRATOR, GIRLS & BOYS
MAY I RETURN

TO THE BEGINNING

THE LIGHT IS DIMMING,

AND THE DREAM IS TOO.

THE WORLD AND I,

WE ARE STILL WAITING

STILL HESITATING.

ANY DREAM WILL DO.

JOSEPH, NARRATOR & BOYS
GIVE ME MY COLOURED COAT,
MY AMAZING COLOURED COAT!
GIVE ME MY COLOURED COAT,
 ALL
MY AMAZING COLOURED COAT!

MUSIC 21: CLOSE EVERY DOOR (REPRISE)

JOSEPH
CLOSE EV'RY DOOR TO ME, HIDE ALL THE WORLD FROM ME.
BAR ALL THE WINDOWS AND SHUT OUT THE LIGHT.
DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH ME, HATE ME AND LAUGH AT ME.
DARKEN MY DAYTIME AND TORTURE MY NIGHT.

IF MY LIFE WAS IMPORTANT I

WOULD ASK "WILL I LIVE OR DIE?"
BUT I KNOW THE ANSWERS LIE FAR FROM THIS WORLD.
CLOSE EV'RY DOOR TO ME, KEEP THOSE I LOVE FROM ME,
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ARE NEVER ALONE.
FOR I KNOW I SHALL FIND MY OWN PEACE OF MIND
FOR I HAVE BEEN PROMISED A LAND OF MY OWN.
CHOIR
CLOSE EV'RY DOOR TO ME, HIDE ALL THE WORLD FROM ME,
BAR ALL THE WINDOWS AND SHUT OUT THE LIGHT.
