Product: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
"Give me my colored coat, my amazing colored coat!"
Brazil has no musical comedy's tradition and there are few opportunities for us Brazilians to keep in touch to what Americans and British wonderfully create in terms of musical plays. So I do consider myself lucky for finding the Los Angeles cast original soundtrack of "Joseph..." in a CD store nearby, some years ago. I had no reference at all about the play but the previous works of Weber & Rice ("Evita" and "Jesus Christ Superstar") that were staged in Brazil some decades ago. My wife and I became unconditional fans of "Joseph..." and eventually bought this DVD in order to see "on stage" all those songs we deeply love. We got really impressed with the splendid work we purchased: Donny Osmond is a perfect Joseph, Maria Friedman is a fascinating Narrator and the whole cast shows such an enthusiasm in their performances that it is impossible not to fall in love with this film version of the play. I strongly recommend it as an excelent purchase for the whole family.
