Not for kids!
Donny Osmund is fantastic. But I would never let my children watch this video. I can't believe how the women are portrayed in this production -- obviously there are none in the story, so the women can't be anything but chorus members. But that doesn't mean they have to be chorus members from a burlesque show. Jacob even gets seduced by a sexy dancer! Was this necessary? Especially in a show marketed to families! The production was overdone, and I don't care if the man IS Richard Attenborough, he can't sing. How about hiring singers for a musical? What a radical idea! Anyway, if you like the show and want to share it with your family, buy the album and go see a local production. Too bad this was such a lost opportunity. Especially considering what a wonderful Joseph Donny made . . .
