Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Pros: phenomenal
Cons: Maria Friedman should have received co-star billing

When I was very little, we had the record for Joseph, and I recall listening to it and enjoying it. But somehow or another it got misplaced, and for years the only thing I could remember about the show was "It was red and yellow and green and...

Pros: Lively and funny songs, exciting for children and fun for adults.
Cons: Donny Osmond in an apparent orgy! Oh, wait, this is supposed to be con...

Way, way back many years (actually 4) ago, I wrote a review of PBS Showcase under TV channels, of this movie. PBS had just kicked off its (then) new arts series PBS Showcase with a new version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat by Andrew ...

Pros: superb cast, excellent musical numbers, humor, engaging set design
Cons: sound quality on my DVD is all over the place; Joan Collins' scene questionable

I have always enjoyed the biblical story of Joseph. Who knew that Donny Osmond would make such a compelling Joseph in this retelling of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Brief Plot Summary Joseph is the favorite child ...

Pros: Fun family entertainment teaches a Bible story in a non-traditional way.
Cons: A little cheesy, but it's meant to be fun.

I originally fell in love with the songs from this clever musical when I was a child. I would spend hours replaying the record set of Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". I saw the play at least once at the local ...

Pros: Great for kids and adults
Cons: Some questionable content

If you've got kids, you want this video. Go ahead and read the review first, but then I think you should either click on that "Go Shopping" link or log off and run down to the store. You'll be rewarded with a bright, funny, uplifting musical-...

Pros: Donny's a Dream With and Without the Coat
Cons: none

I never knew I was such a fan of musicals until I saw this production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".

I have gained a much larger respect for Donny Osmond's singing talents. He...

Pros: Nice sets and costumes; good video adaptation
Cons: Some casting choices

I recently received as a gift from my mother a copy of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". This is certainly something I would never buy for myself. But Mom thought it a great idea, since I had been in a high school production of...

Pros: Casting, biblical accuracy, MUSIC
Cons: Joseph's brothers are mean.

If you haven't seen this video, you are really missing a treat. It has got to be one of the best musicals of all time. Who would expect anything less of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice? The pairing of these two great talents is the best thing to...

Pros: Joan Collins, the brothers, songs and costumes
Cons: Donny Osmond, Maria Friedman, goofy camera tricks, and sloppy, busy editing

Let me start by saying that I am no Donny Osmond fan. While I was excited to find out that they were releasing a video of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, it was tempered by disappointment upon finding out that he was the star. The...

Pros: Great songs, stunning costumes, well done overall
Cons: One objectionable scene, some risque dance moves, no mention of God

"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" is an eye-popping musical spectacular that will leave you singing. The costumes are fantastic, the musical score amazing, the dance numbers joyous. This retelling of the Biblical tale of Joseph,...

Pros: Donny Osmond is phenomenal, and Joan Collins is a scene-stealer.
Cons: Some poor casting, different feel than stage show.

I absolutely love "Joseph." It is one of my favorite Broadway musicals, and my favorite of Andrew Lloyd Webber's. I've been in the show twice: the music is amazing, and all-in-all, it's a wonderful piece of work. The film version, however is a huge...

Pros: Wonderful musical score!
Cons: Tape will wear out from too much use

When Joseph came to Chicago on stage with Donny Osmond I went to see the play mainly because when I was a teenager I was infatuated with Donny and now that I am an adult I still get chills to hear him sing. I was so impressed with the stage version of...

Pros: STRONG musical, by any standard
Cons: a little to "stylistically 70's" in its visual aspect

Most of Andrew Lloyd Weber's musicals (Phantom and Cats jump immediately to mind) seem to take themselves SO seriously. As a musician, listening to a musical that is just so-so as it tries to tug at our heartstrings is *almost* pitiful. Almost... It...

Pros: Kickin' music & colorful sets
Cons: DoNnY OsMoNd

I, being a senior in high school have taken acting classes to help better my skill. One day, our teacher opted to play this movie for us, simply because we didn't have much else to do. So,I watched this musical hoping for something good, but I didn't....

Pros: Good. show good acting.
Cons: Joan Collins, Need I say more!?!

Way way back many centuries ago, not long after the Bible began.... There lived a boy named Joseph who's Daddy gave him a big rainbow coat! I have been in this show twice as Joseph and have donned the Amazing...Coat in several cabaret's and children's...
