In addition to the over 200 dazzling original costumes in the upcoming Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Charleston Stage Resident Costumer Barbara Young and her costume crew created not one but two coats of many colors. The first Joseph receives from his father and wears in act one and the second is a gigantic 20 foot wide one that magically appears in act two. Altogether more than 2000 yards of fabric (much of it generously donated thank goodness!) was used for the 200+ colorful coats, costumes and sets for this mega-musical spectacular which opens this week at the College of Charleston’s Sottile Theatre.
Here are some photos of the two coats of many colors from this past weekend’s dress rehearsal.
