Bus Outing Joseph Technicolour Dreamcoat

Get your gladrags on. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat is coming to Auckland in April next year and the bus society is considering a bus outing to see the acclaimed show at the Civic Theatre.

Lara Utatao got in quick to hold a group booking of well-appointed A Reserve seats for the 1pm matinee on Saturday 29th of April 2017, which is the last day of the Term 1 school holidays.

The cost would be $110 per person. Includes group-discounted A Reserve show ticket and return bus ride.

It’s some time away and we’d like to gauge interest before committing to the tickets. Those interested please contact Lara Utatao – laraandmark@xtra.co.nz or 021 946 360.

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT

One of the most enduring shows of all time Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is now reinvented for a new generation. With a contemporary twist, the show exudes all the colour, wit and energy of this irresistible family musical.

A joyous retelling of the Biblical story of Joseph, his eleven scheming brothers and his coat of many colours, Joseph is a kaleidoscope of catchy songs and colourful dance numbers – Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door to Me and Go Go Go Joseph – parodying various musical styles from rock ‘n’ roll to country and western, French ballad, calypso and jazz. This lavish international production features an outstanding cast.
