One Last "Joseph" Interview!

For the last of our e-interviews with some of the cast members of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (which wraps up this weekend in Huntington), let's hear from my pal Jonathan Lamp who plays two roles in the show - he's the Pharaoh and Gad, one of Joseph's brothers.

About eight years ago Jon did great work in the last production of "Joseph" staged in Huntington, and he must have had fun, because he's back for more:

Q: For those who haven't see it, what is "Joseph" about?

Jonathan: "Joseph" is based off a story from the Old Testament. It is about a young man who could interpret dreams. He gets sold away by his brothers, due to their jealousy towards him. Joseph later makes makes a name for himself. To find out more, come see the show!

Q: Why did you want to be in this show?

Jonathan: This is my favorite musical. I have loved it since I was a child and am honored to have a second opportunity to do it.

Q: What's your favorite part of the show?

Jonathan: My favorite part of the show is the Song of the King. Then again... it is my song so I am biased. :-)

Q: Have you had fun working on this with the rest of the cast?

Jonathan: I love this cast. We are more like a family at this point.

Q: When and where will the show be presented?

Jonathan: Friday May 27 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, May 28 at 8 p.m. All shows are performed at the Jeslyn Performing Arts Center also known as the former Camelot Theater.
