The critical consensus

If you love your musicals...you’ll love this.

****(*)Mike Smith, The Edinburgh Reporter, 19/03/2019

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat proves it’s still at the top of its game.

****(*)Thom Dibdin, All Edinburgh Theatre, 20/03/2109

It’s not the best production you’ll ever see; but plenty of the colour and good humour of the original make it through the superadded sentimentality, and make for a feel-good night out.

***(*)(*)Edie Ranvier, The Reviews Hub, 20/03/2019

The songs still soar, the coat's still colourful but this 1970s musical feels of its time.

***(*)(*)Kelly Apter, The List, 21/03/2019

Exuberant, flawless performances save Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical from becoming staid.

****(*)Kirsty McGrory, The Wee Review, 22/03/2019
