The main characters in the story of Joseph the dreamer are Joseph, his father Jacob, his brothers who sell him into slavery, Potiphar who purchases him, and Pharaoh who ultimately elevates him to a position of power in Egypt.
JacobAnswer:Genesis 37:20-22 - "Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, 'Some wild beast has devoured him.' We shall see what will become of his dreams!"But Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let us not kill him." And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him" - that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.[NKJV]
Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, was known for being the leader among his brothers and instrumental in the plot to sell Joseph into slavery. He was also known for his role in the story of Tamar, where he unknowingly impregnated her and later acknowledged his wrongdoing. Judah's lineage eventually led to the Davidic dynasty and, according to the Bible, to Jesus Christ.
Ishmaelite merchants on their way to Egypt (Genesis 37:28)
Assuming that you're referring to the Bible story, Joseph's brothers sell him to be a slave. This leads to Joseph being put in prison, but he is freed when he is able to interpret the dreams of the Pharaoh. Joseph is then given an important position of power by the Pharaoh.
In the musical, they at first fling him in a pit, yet when they see some people walking by, they sell Joseph as a slave for silver coins and a goat. They then, in complete jealousy, rip joseph's multicoloured coat and dipping it in the poor goat's blood.
Joseph and the "TechniCOLOR" Dream Coat is a Rock Opera written by the combined genius of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber in 1968. It was based on the story of Joseph and the coat of many colors in Genesis in which Joseph is eventually reconciled with the other Sons of Israel. So yes, that is the story's happy ending!

First, Joseph's father gave him a coat of many colours, a tribal symbol of inheritance. Then, Joseph told his brothers a dream of rule and dominion, in which Joseph stood supreme as ruler, symbolised by a sheaf of wheat, and is paid homage by his self-abasing brothers, symbolised by their sheafs of wheat. It is an unbrotherly dream that, even more than the coat of many colours, denies the brothers their equal place in the house of Israel. That the story of this dream originated long afterwards in an entirely different environment is evidenced by the symbolism of the sheafs of wheat, which would not only have been foreign to the pastoralist brothers, but probably even meaningless to them. Then Joseph dreamed yet another dream and he recounted it to his brothers, "Look, I have dreamed yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me." There were eleven brothers, so it is clear that the story is about Joseph's father, mother and brothers bowing down to him, which his father clearly saw in his response (Genesis 37:10). The author is building up justification of such hatred that the brothers would wish to sell Joseph into slavery. And this is what they did, moving the story forward into Egypt.
Judah did not want Joseph to be killed and preferred selling him to the Ishmeelites. Reuben also did not want to kill Joseph. He suggested they throw him into the cistern and secretly planned to save and return him to their father later, but his brothers sold Joseph in his absence.
The main conflict in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" revolves around Joseph's brothers' jealousy and betrayal toward him. They sell him into slavery out of envy for his special coat and favor from their father, Jacob. Ultimately, Joseph's journey leads to forgiveness and redemption.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a religious based musical. However, it never mentions God. It tells the story of Joseph and how his brothers sell to to Ishmaelites and he becomes a king. While it is religious based it can easily be passed off as just a story.
