Product: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Excellent
It's funny, witty, and just so gosh darn catchy! I walked around humming these songs for days!This movie is filled with little jokes and ridiculously simple stage props and scenary.(one example is that a scene where Joseph's brothers kill a goat, all it is is a stuffed animal, they simply take off the legs and call it dead!)The music is very cute and well done. Andrew Lloyd Webber never fails to provide snappy yet dramatic melodies.Donny Osmund is a fantastic actor who believably portrays Joseph from a young man in his late teens to a completely mature over 50 year old adult. He has done a brilliant job of being both funny and amazingly dramatic, and without confusing the two. He is very talented in his voice and was very pleasing to listen to.Joseph ATATD can also be good for parents trying to teach bible stories to their children. For one thing it gives a very good outline of the original bible story but it does it in a fun way without ever TRYING to. They would never know it was a bible story without being told so.This is one of my all time favorite plays and I hope one day i'll get to see it live!
