Product: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" is AMAZING!
After seeing Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical "The Phantom of the Opera" on its third national tour, I knew I had to see more of his musicals, so I rented this, popped it into the player, and - WOW! From the very beginning, it simply overwhelms the viewer with fun. The lavish, colorful sets give off pleasant vibes, and you won't be able to stop singing along to the catcy, electric tunes. There are also the tender moments, such as "Any Dream Will Do" and "Close Every Door," which give the musical exellent virety and will bring tears to your eyes. Best of all, a laugh is never far off, especially for Elvis fans, who will be pleased to see that the King makes a cameo appearance as the king, Pharoh. Rent this for an exceptionally good time, and be ready for wildness. Much better than DreamWorks' recent direct-to-video animated version, "Joseph: King of Dreams," which was obviously released (just a year later) to compete with this.
