Carla Guevara Laforteza also joins the cast as Escalante’s alternate.

Audie Gemora will also be returning to play Jacob, alternating with Valenciano. Gemora originated the role of Joseph in 1989 and continued to play the role during the production’s earlier runs, including the 1999 run when he also alternated with Valenciano.

Also in the cast are new and returning cast members– Alys Serdenia (Mrs. Potiphar), Aldo Vencilao (Potiphar), Eggo Velasco and Mateo Jimenez (Benjamin), Matthew Barbers (Simeon), RJ Dela Fuente (Reuben), Elai Estrella and Eli Luis (Little Joseph’s), Edrei Tan (Asher), Renz Bernardo (Gad), Paul Valdez (Dan), Carlos Canlas (Levi), Jim Ferrer (Naphtali), Dan Delgado (Issachar), Diego Aranda (Zebulun), and Anton Posadas (swing), and Justine Narciso, Samantha Libao, Kiara Dario, Coleen Paz, Kathleen Francisco, and Jom Logdat as members of the ensemble.

Written by Freddie Santos, based on Cam Floria’s cantata entitled Dreamer: What Really Happened to Joseph, Joseph the Dreamer is based on the biblical story of Joseph, the 11th son of Jacob.

The reimagined production most recently ran from February 21 to March 8, 2020 at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater, BGC. It was the last production in Manila that had a full run before shows were forced to close due to the pandemic.

The show will return to the same venue from July 15-31, 2022. Visit Ticketworld for tickets.
