In the summer of 1967, Andrew Lloyd Webber was asked by Alan Doggett, head of the Music Department at Colet court, St Paul’s Junior School who taught his younger brother, Julian, to write a ‘pop cantata’ for the school choir to sing at their Easter end of term concert.
Andrew immediately approached his friend Tim Rice to ask if he would write lyrics for the project. After toying with ideas about spies, 007′s and the like, Tim suggested the story of Joseph.
The first performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was on a cold winter afternoon on 1st March 1968 at the Old Assembly Hall, Colet Court, Hammersmith.
Accompanied by the School orchestra and conducted by Alan Doggett, the performance was only 15 minutes long.
It was such a success that a second performance was arranged on 12th May 1968 at Central Hall, Westminster, where Andrew’s father was the organist. Julian Lloyd Webber gave a classical recital in the first half, along with Bill Lloyd Webber. The audience of approximately 2,500 consisted mainly of parents of the Colet Court boys. To Andrew and Tim’s surprise, Derek Jewell, Jazz and Pop Critic for The Sunday Times, saw the show and wrote a favourable review of Joseph, which appeared on 19th May 1968. A third performance took place on 9th November 1968 at St Paul’s Cathedral, where Joseph was expanded to include songs such as ‘Potiphar’ for the first time.
I never realized she was actually the one doing the harmonica sound. lol I always thought she was just doing the gestures and an actual harmonica was playing in the background
I love how proper Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is, and then everyone is goofing off in the recording studio!
Donny and Maria are just so cute
I wish we could see more behind the scenes content of them... It looked like they had so much fun messing with each other while recording and on set... 😂
1:55 Nice smile Donny Osmond
Awww Donny and Maria Friedman are the best xx 😘
We did this at our school in 1974, we had to learn all of the songs and our drama teacher wanted to film it, it never got finished in my time there-loved all the songs and still remember most of the words.I never had seen the whole production and how it fitted together so many years later when my daughter was school age we saw a production together in Hull, only then was it that I realised the connection between Pharaohs song and another very famous person!! Been to see a live production twice now-great evening.
Seeing this...I feel bad for her. But can't help but laugh.
Admit it we all tried to do the noise while watching this
