This $3 million production of "Joseph" features:

• a state-of-the-art fly rig that allows audiences to witness Joseph's dreams come to life as he soars 45-feet above the audience
• flight sequences choreographed by Broadway aerial choreographer Paul Rubin (credits include Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby, Wicked, and Curtains with David Hyde Pierce)
• an epic soundtrack with 13 original songs by composer Don Harper (credits include National Treasure, National Treasure 2, Disney's Lion King 1 1/2)
• over 70 elaborate set pieces, including 30-foot-high Egyptian palaces, featured on a 300-foot stage that wraps around three sides of the audience
• dozens of live and exotic animals
• a family-friendly script appropriate for all ages
• several large-scale and interactive production numbers
• Sight & Sound's own interpretation of Joseph's colorful coat

"We believe Joseph's inspiring journey and the restoration of his family is especially relevant today and will speak to our audiences on so many levels," said Josh Enck, producer and co-writer of the show.  

As the production team at Sight & Sound worked to build the sets, create the music and bring the story of Joseph to the stage, visitors have been allowed to track the progress on a special web site created to allow a behind-the-scenes look (www.sight-sound.com/joseph).

"Joseph" runs from March 6 through October 30, 2010.  Tickets to "Joseph" may be purchased by visiting the website (www.sight-sound.com) or by calling 800-377-1277.
