Work of art. From the song 'Joseph's Coat'.
'A land of my own'. From the moving song 'Close Every Door'.
He doesn't speak Egyptian very well. '... It wouldn't be a pic-nic he could tell. 'And I don't speak Egyptian very well...!'. One of the great talents of Tim Rice is his witty, yet sensitive writing!
Yes. He forgives them, and is reunited with his father, Jacob.
He is accused of sleeping with a married woman. Potiphar's wife tries to seduce him, although he resists. Potiphar, however, walks in and jumps to the wrong conclusion...
Philip Schofield. It was TV presenter Philip Schofield. The nation was surprised when Schofield announced that he would take over from Jason Donovan, and seemed an unlikely choice for the part.

Still hesitating. From the song 'Any Dream Will Do'.
Sheepskin. From the song 'Joseph's Coat'.
A good harvest followed by famine. And Joseph is employed by Pharaoh to help him manage the food rationing.
Cows. He dreams of seven fat cows being eaten by seven thin cows, who become no fatter despite their large meal.
Elvis. ... he even wore blue suede shoes!
Jason Donovan. It was Australian Jason Donovan, ex-star of soap opera 'Neighbours'.
The Palladium. It ran at the Palladium, Argyll Street, London.

Andrew Lloyd Webber. It is one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals, along with others such as 'Cats', 'Phantom Of The Opera' and 'Starlight Express'.
cringe, bow, stoop, fall. From 'The Brothers Come to Egypt (Grovel Grovel)'.
