A dream of a production. [Posted on 2008-09-01]
I have never enjoyed a musical production so much as I did "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat". The magic between Donny and the children was wonderful and filled me with a warmth of which I've never before experienced. And lastly, I thoroughly enjoyed Maria Friedman's performance. And, as usual, the quality of the CD was superb.
For this last I am grateful to Amazon.
Any Dream Will Do... [Posted on 2008-09-04]
This retelling of "The Coat of Many Colors" is a fanasty full of delighful music.
Set as a grade-school production, the staff of the school is featured in the various roles with the gym's stage morphing and flowing into the Pinewood 007 Studios, where the bulk of the film was shot.
Donny Osmond shows his skills in the title role, travelling from a happy boyhood in Cannan, to a tearful and scary Egyptian jail, and finally to the side of Ramses' throne as a noble Prince. The 40 year old actor is believable as both an 18 year old youth and the older, mature royal advisor.
Maria Friedman has too much fun as the Narrator. She strolls through the desert, dances with the brothers, and sips drinks in the shadow of the Sphinx. Her bouncy step and emotional face change for each number to support Joseph/Don in his plights.
With musical themes from the Roaring 20's, the Rocking 50's, the Mod 60's, the Soulful French Canteens, and the American WildWest Saloons, this movie deserves the large box of popcorn. You won't want to have to miss a thing!

I had a really good experience with this order, it got to me really quickly, 4 days before it was supposed to. So all in all I had a really positive experience.
As Amazing as Claimed [Posted on 2008-11-25]
I saw the musical on Broadway several years ago, and I have to say that the film does an excellent job of capturing the engery of a live performance. The cast is superb, the music is still fresh, the jokes are still funny, and the layers of reality are done exttremely well. I recently viewed this and Joseph: King of Dreams back-to-back, and there is no doubt that this is the far better retelling of the story.
This mucical is appropriate for even small children, but it is not a children's show.
I would recommend this to just about everyone.
