Prepare your dreamcoats and make them technicolor! It looks like John M. Chu, the director behind the highly anticipated Wicked films, is set to direct an adaptation of the classic musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, according to a Deadline exclusive report.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a classic musical that debuted in 1968. The musical was written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber and was their first play to be performed publicly.
