American Idol runner-up David Archuleta is currently starring in the title role of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre in Ivins, Utah.
“We dreamt up a world that makes the most of having a musical star on stage,” said Joseph set designer Adam Koch. “When you walk in, the stage will feel like you’re heading into a contemporary concert. Then we go back in time to tell the story and then end up back at the concert.”
The production also features choreography by Robbie Roby, music supervision by Christopher Babbage, music direction by Cameron Kinnear, associate music direction by Daniel Mollett, lighting design by Cory Pattak, and set design by Koch.
Archuleta will continue as Joseph through September 3. Tarzan's Josh Strickland will subsequently don the dreamcoat through the remainder of the run, which continues through October 20.
The Minnesota theatre will also present Lauren M. Gunderson's new version of Little Women, Eboni Booth's Primary Trust, and more in its upcoming season.
Featuring co-creator Steven Sater reflecting on the original production and how Likes' Arizona revival reimagines its contents, the film will premiere next month.
As the National Endowment for the Arts restricts funding for organizations that fund DEI programs, the theatres reaffirm their commitment to diversity while the ACLU files a lawsuit.
A performance featuring the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C. has also been removed from the organization's schedule, with both productions citing financial circumstances.
The Trump administration official's appointment comes as the president continues a leadership shakeup at the formerly bipartisan Washington, D.C. institution.
