I felt that the kids were a wonderful addition. Their voices (especially in Any Dream Will Do) provided a chillingly beautiful dimension to the sound, which was, without exception, superb. The narrator was great, and, I must say, just the sort of teacher I would have like to have had in grade school. The frame story tied the show to its roots as a childrens' production, which helped. The film works on several levels, as a kids show, and as an adult show, for those who care to consider the issues at hand.
The sets were fabulous, especially the transformation of Potifer's house and the jail cell by the addition of colors in the walls and floor. Stunning.
The formatting, too, must recieve a mention. A full-fledged DVD release with extra features, full widescreen, and immaculate sound were very welcome indeed.
The sensational Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat tells the journey of Joseph, son of Jacob and one of twelve brothers, and his coat of many colours.
Based on the Bible’s book of Genesis and originating from a cantata written for a school choir, Joseph is a much-loved family classic.
Written in 1968 and featuring lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Joseph features iconic pop and musical theatre classics known around the world such as UK #1 Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door To Me and Go Go Joseph.
Joseph has been performed in 86 countries and has starred many famous faces around the globe, including Jason Donovan, Donny Osmond, Phillip Schofield, Alexandra Burke, Sheridan Smith, Darren Day, Stephen Gately, Gareth Gates, Ian ‘H’ Watkins, David Cassidy and more.
It’s 50 years since the original Joseph concept album was released. This summer, the show is back at the London Palladium and there’s also a new touring production on the road. Look back at some of those who’ve donned the dreamcoat
