Product: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 3.0
Not for kids
Many of the costumes in this production are bodysuits, designed to make it look like the actors are nude except for bits of strategic glitter. If it were rated, this video would garner a PG. This will not be objectionable to most people, but this video is being marketed as a "show for the whole family", and if you are a conservative parent, you may not want your kids watching it. For a good laugh, pick up the video box in your local video store and look at the picture of Joan Collins on the back. Her costume (which normally makes her look like she's topless) has been carefully colored in on the top!That warning aside, it's a fairly good video. I did not care for the way the show was framed as a production at a school, and the children's chorus was actually annoying in spots. However, most of the excitement and fun of the stage production comes through, and Donny Osmond is fabulous as Joseph.
