The musical tells the story of a young man named Joseph living in the land of Canaan. His father’s favorite son, Joseph is a little spoiled. While the rest of his brothers are forced to wear sheepskin, he struts around in a fabulous rainbow-colored coat, a gift from his father. When his brothers have enough, they kidnap him, destroy his cherished coat and sell him into slavery. Joseph uses his dream-reading ability to talk with a Pharoah who appoints him Minister of Agriculture.

‘Witness the birth of a nation told through rhythm and beat, with the cry of the Vikings as they were brought to defeat, the rise and fall of the rebellion the show tells the tale, trapped were the Irish, watch them dance from the jail. For the nation fought free from Dundalk to Tralee, they sing and they dance through the night full of glee. For Ireland, there was, not a nation quite like her, hold on to your seat, feel Ireland’s passion and fire.’
