"Alyssa Anani seconds those sentiments: "Returning to the theatre as we all are in 2022, I hope the story encourages the audience to dream, to reach out to someone else, to be optimistic, to hope. I see JOSEPH as a catalyst for change. We can be the light."

"Credit Director/Choreographer Alex Sanchez with masterminding this extraordinary version of Joseph... But the word "energy" best defines MSMT's rendition of this magical show, a kaleidoscope of stunning colors and sheer exuberance. 

​

The narrator, skillfully portrayed by Alyssa Anani, provides the thread that holds the story together. Her clear multi-range soprano keeps the audience tuned to the story, while never overpowering the events on stage."

TV Interview with the stars of MSMT's Joseph!

"For more than two years as the pandemic dragged on, Alyssa Anani couldn’t do the work she loves most in the world. An actress, singer, and dancer, Anani is finally back to doing live theater this summer, and her face lights up as she talks about it."

​

“It’s absolutely thrilling,” Anani says. “...When you’re back in the swing of it with the entire company, it was just like a dream.
