You have two more chances to catch the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat this weekend in Huntington, and here's another e-interview with one of the stars of the show!
Let's talk with my pal Julie Hoss, who plays the wife of Jacob:
Q: For those who haven't see it, what is Joseph about?
Julie: This story is found in Genesis, and tells the story of the father (Jacob-Israel) of the twelve tribes of Israel, and how God used Jacob's favorite son, Joseph to save their family from starvation. Joseph's brothers were very jealous of him because Joseph was the favorite son of Jacob-Israel, so they sold him into slavery, but told Jacob that Joseph was dead. What the brothers intended for evil ended up being a part of God's plan to eventually save all of their lives.
Q: Why did you want to be in this show?
Julie: I love musical theatre, and have wanted to return to it for years. So I am grateful and honored to be allowed to participate in this wonderful live entertainment.
Q: What's your favorite thing about the show?
Julie: The variety of mood settings in this musical help keep it interesting for both the cast members and the audience. And the lighthearted comedy parts help convey the historical tale in a way that can keep you laughing and also help you retain the story content in your memory.
Q: Have you had fun working on this with the rest of the cast?
Julie: Have had an absolute blast! Love the fact that there is a huge variety of age groups represented in a relatively small cast.
Q: When and where will the show be presented?
Julie: The shows are May 27 and 28 at the Jeslyn Performing Arts Center on 4th Ave in downtown Huntington. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for children. Church groups of 15 or more get discounts. Curtains Up Players can be followed on Facebook and Twitter.
