Fun Trivia
The first collaboration between Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber to be performed publicly was based on the story of Joseph from the Biblical book of Genesis. It was first presented in 1968 as a pop cantanta, then recorded as a concept album in 1969. The success of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' paved the way for a stage production in 1970, followed by further recordings in 1970 and 1972. The West End debut was in 1973, with a Broadway opening of the final version in 1984.

Answer: Some

9. What was the name of the Pharaoh during the time this story takes place?

From Quiz Any Dream Will Do...

Answer: Not known for sure

The musical never gives his name, because there is no scholarly agreement as to which pharaoh ruled during the time when these events are set. The Bible makes some references in the Book of Genesis that allow suggestions as to possible names (assuming, of course, that the events are accepted as historical fact). These include Ramesses II and Amenhotep II; some consider Set I and Ramesses I (the father and grandfather of Ramesses II) as possibilities. Whoever it was, he probably didn't bear much resemblance to Elvis.
