1980 Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat

Wow: 1980 saw the ambitious presentation of a full musical, and what a better way to start off than Joseph, a rock opera produced by several schools over the years.  Joseph and the Amazing Tecnhicolour Dreamcoat was presented in the hall using an oratorio format (ie a whole bunch of kids standing around in a formation, singing).  The play was performed for three shows; Thursday 8 October, Friday 9 October and Saturday 10 October 1980.

I'll reproduce the programme here in the blog as jpeg images. Don't forget - to get a larger image of the picture you can click on the image.
