[HANASHIR:9262] Re: Music about Joseph

[Marilyn Cohen <bubbec...>]

Robin,
You're looking for "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".  It was
written by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice.  It is available at any good
music store. It's a wonderful play and I've used in numerous times
successfully.  It can be used for very young children, but with a lot of
support.  I like using children  4th grade and above.  You can find midi
files and a lot of stuff at
http://jacob-and-sons.tripod.com/dreamcoat.html   There is also a wonderful
video starring Donny Osmond that's available.  Have a lot of fun with the
show.............
