Watford Colosseum was literally lit up with colourful costumes, vibrant and exotic dancing, and captivating music at the premier of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat on Tuesday night. Bill Kenwright has taken Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's biblical masterpiece and turned it into what could be described as a camp version of the musical.

The story follows Joseph, one of 12 brothers, who not only is his father's favourite, but also has the gift of interpreting dreams. His brothers, jealous of his coat of many colours and how he talks of being destined to rule over them, sell Joseph as a slave. He is taken to Egypt and bought by Potiphar and after awkward advances from Potiphar's wife, Joseph is throw in jail.

When news of his dream reading abilities reach the Pharaoh, it is not long before he is on his way up. Joseph's brothers eventually and unknowingly find themselves grovelling at their brother’s feet and after testing them, Joseph reveals himself to them and there is a heartfelt reunion.

Despite diverging from the original, Kenwright's take was still a spectacular.

Former X Factor finalist Lloyd Daniels is clearly enjoying his musical theatre debut Joseph and he certainly filled the role well - even in that sparkly loin cloth. His voice has become a lot stronger since his X Factor days and this was particularly noticeable in Close Every Door, where he quite simply owned that stage when he hit the big note at the end.

The narrator, Rebekah Lowings, has a great voice and she really did know how to tell the story well. As did Matt Lapinskas, who played Gad and the Pharoah - his Elvis Presley-esque style and voice was a joy to listen to and there was a real buzz about his rock'n'roll performances amongst the audience.

A special mention must also be made of the choreographer and wardrobe designers, Henry Metcalfe and Kieran Kerry - the flamboyant outfits and chic dance routines were on point, especially in the second act, during Pharoah's story.

The finale was probably the best. It was upbeat, fun, and above all colourful - a medley of some of the highlights from various scenes was a great way to end on a high. It got the audience going and many of us certainly didn't want it to end - it certainly showed as you could hear so many people singing the songs as they left the theatre. It's an absolute must-see.
