Really, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (abbreviated as Joseph...Dreamcoat, Dreamcoat, J&tATD, etc. etc.) is simply that: [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]'s [[Breakthrough Hit]], it's based on the Biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors.▼

{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Decay]]: The Hebrew word "pac", translated as "of many colours" in the King James Bible, probably refers to a tunic reaching to the palms and soles. This means Joseph wasn't wearing a multicolored coat, he was wearing a ''long'' coat or a coat with long sleeves. But that wouldn't look nearly as impressive on stage, or make for as much fun in a song.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Done very much on purpose. An ''Elvis impersonator'' as Pharaoh. There's also "Those Canaan Days", which features Joseph's brothers and father with French-style clothing and ridiculous fake accents.
Line 17:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Some productions play Joseph as one of these. And it's definitely what his brothers think that he is.
* [[Crowd Song]]: "Go Go Go Joseph"
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: From Close Every Door: "Just give me a number, instead of a name" - coupled with the references to the Children of Israel - hearken to the treatment of death-camp inmates during [[World War II]]
* [[Double Entendre]]: Especially among high school productions, it's practically a contest to see who can make Joseph's dream about his brothers' small, green sheaves seem the most like a penis joke.
* [[Fan Service]]: Apart from shirtless Joseph, among the costumes featured in the movie version? Mrs. Potiphar's costume. Which looks like a bustier ''with pasties.''
Line 27:
** To be fair, he worked his way up so he was basically running the house. As far as slave gigs go, it's not the worst you could get.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Played for Laughs

* [[Interactive Narrator]]: Depends on the production, but in the movie? Interactive enough to dance with the brothers, flirt with Pharaoh, and get hippie-married to Joseph.
* [[Intro Dump]]: "Jacob & Sons".
Line 43:
* [[Parental Favoritism]]: The whole plot starts because of this.
* [[Recurring Riff]]: "Poor, poor [whoever], whatcha gonna do?" Also, the Prologue becomes the prologue-of-sorts to the second part (Pharaoh Story). Also, "Joseph's Coat" becomes "Pharaoh's Dreams Explained" in the second act.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Potiphar and his wife.
* [[Villain Song]]: Potiphar and his wife get their own. The brothers get "One More Angel in Heaven".
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: The brothers try to make it so that Joseph's dreams won't come true... And oh, how they fail.
