The favored son, he is betrayed by his jealous brothers and sold into slavery and driven to Egypt.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Despite all of the children in the school being around eight or nine, Maria Friedman's son Toby Sams Friedman, then four, was among the school children. He is the boy to whom she directly sings at the beginning. See more » |
| Goofs | During 'The Song of the King' Joseph says "I got the bit about the corn, but I'm not to sure about the cows. So if you could just give it to me one more time, Mr Pharaoh man." Pharaoh then proceeds to sing the verse about the corn again, and not the cows. This is in fact not an error. Pharaoh, an impatient man repeats the last line while Joseph checks for the correct answer in the Bible (held by the Narrator). The same is true for the stage productions. See more » |
