CHÜMOUKEDIMA, NOVEMBER 5 (MExN): The Youth Department of Town Baptist Church Chümoukedima is set to present an exciting theatrical production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a Broadway musical adaptation by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Directed by Nividi Kevichüsa, the musical promises to captivate audiences with its vibrant storytelling and talented local cast.
The lead role of Joseph will be played by Kecha Zumvü, with the cast comprising artists from TBC Chümoukedima, Chakhesang, and Sumi Baptist Church, Chümoukedima. The production draws inspiration from the Biblical story in the Book of Genesis (37-50), which chronicles the tale of Joseph, the son of Jacob, and his eleven brothers. The themes of sibling rivalry, betrayal, restoration, and reconciliation are timeless and continue to resonate with contemporary society, making this musical particularly relevant for the audience.
The musical’s themes are also influenced by the popular Netflix series Peaky Blinders, set in 1920s Industrial Birmingham, offering a unique modern twist to the classic biblical tale.
The performance will take place on November 10 at 4:30 PM at the Town Baptist Church Chümoukedima, with proceeds going toward the church’s new building project.
Dr Aseno Dozo, the Youth Director and event organizer, informed that the show is a sold-out event, thanking everyone who has supported the initiative thus far. "We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support and hope to see everyone at the show on November 10," she said.
With the anticipation growing for the big day, the production promises to be a memorable experience, blending the vibrancy of a classic musical with local talent and a meaningful cause.
