A Wonderfully Colourful Evening Of Entertainment

22/4/2015

One of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s first musicals explodes onto the Belgrade stage in a riot of colour as part of a national tour.

The story is an inspirational tale narrated by Amelia Lily of X Factor fame, with the opening scene transforming before our eyes into an almost comic book vision of biblical times with bright colours, pop up sheep and singing camels. We meet Joseph, his eleven brothers and the coat that causes the trouble. The brothers plot Joseph’s downfall, little realising that this is actually part of a higher plan that will save them all. We follow Joseph on his journey from slave to hero.

There are few musicals that can boast as many musical styles as Joseph, it moves from country and western, to Rock & Roll, calypso and a French lament. Each change of style is beautifully complemented by lightning quick costume changes, subtle set decoration and themed choreography.

Most of the cast double up on their roles, the brothers also play all of the other male 'chorus' roles, such as guards. These guys (and the three girls) are stunning throughout, nailing every dance move with boundless energy.

Another X Factor Alumni, Lloyd Daniels plays Joseph from slightly annoying younger brother to commanding pharaohs assistant. His rendition of Close Every Door was one of the most powerful I have heard.

Pulling it all together is Amelia Lily with a compelling stage presence and voice to match. Matt Lapinskas is the Elvis look-a-like Pharaoh who rocks the room with flair. Joining the touring cast are children from Stagecoach Coventry, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield, their professionalism is to be commended.

This high energy production is a wonderfully colourful, toe-tapping evening of entertainment, suitable for the whole family.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat runs at Belgrade Theatre, Coventry until 25 April. For more information and to book tickets visit belgrade.co.uk or call Belgrade's box office on 024 7655 3055.

Event management companies are some paid companies that assist you in organizing your event. They provide you with various facilities and offer many advantages as reduction of stress, proper event planning and management, handling petty jobs etc. But you must be cautious when you choose one such company. You must consider points like getting out the complete details, checking the quotes, provisions and facilities as well as the track record.

Event marketing companies must be hired after checking up certain credentials. There can be a lot of times when if you don't hire a proper event management company you will be subjecting your event to utter destruction. The first factor which you need to focus on is if they are trust worthy. You do not need an event management company who just goes about the work as they feel like it.

A buck's party is a big night for any groom-to-be - it's a rite of passage and something of an iconic milestone event for a man who is about to be married. There is however, good reason as to why some of these parties are believed to get out of hand - let's face it; the bad rap has been thoroughly earned. And while the onus is on a party theme heavily laden with booze and bad behaviour, there are other ways to celebrate a man's transition into married-land - without losing a handful of brain cells in ways nobody will remember anyway.
