Kids' "Joseph"

The Obingers and I went to a shortened version of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at a local theater today, meant especially for kids. They shorten shows to an hour and modernize them in fun ways, and then do a Q&A session after the show with the kids in the audience.
The whole thing was rather cute; they cut verses in the songs and didn't do majorly elaborate dance numbers. They also brought instruments on stage.
Potiphar's wife "seduction" of Joseph involved playing a flute, and Joseph crying "Please stop! I don't believe in flute love!" Personal favorite ridiculous moment, though - they didn't make Pharaoh Elvis, wanting to make it as kid-accessible as possible. So he was...guess, guess...JUSTIN BIEBER! Hilarity ensues.
