South Orange resident and Columbia High School senior Lanah Differt stars in the role of narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat this weekend at Jonathan Dayton High School in Springfield, New Jersey.
The musical is produced by Front & Center for Performing Arts — a dance and theater center that for 24 years has offered individuals of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to grow and develop artistically.
Columbia High School senior Lanah Differt has the role of narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, this high-energy, family-friendly musical brings the biblical story of Joseph to life with humor, heart and unforgettable songs. The show follows Joseph’s journey from dreamer to hero— celebrating resilience, kindness, and the power of believing in yourself.
The production is directed and choreographed by Julie Celeste-Lira and produced by Renee Celeste-Lira, with musical direction by Michael Hicks. “This show holds such a special place in my heart,” says Julie Celeste-Lira. “It’s a wonderful reminder to trust the process of life. Even when we can’t always see the bigger picture, if we allow it, life has a way of growing us in ways we never dreamed possible.”
