Rating: 5.0
go go go JOSEPH!
I had never seen the stage production but now after seeing the DVD.. I wish I had! I have always been a huge fan of Andrew Lloyds Webber and Tim Rice's "Jesus Christ Superstar" but was apprehensive because I had the mindset of "Donny Osmond" still being a teen idol but after seeing the DVD I loved Donny Osmonds way of pulling off a naive young man and then a grown man at the end... Maria Friedman's expressions to the children and wonderful voice left me humming and singing the songs to the point I had to go buy the soundtrack for in the CAR! The way her and Donny "ham" it up in the movie left me in stitches! I was so disappointed that the only soundtrack cd with Donny Osmond as the main character did NOT have Maria Friedman as well.. Instead it is the original Canadian cast and find it lacking so much from the movie :(I plan to buy a special copy in VHS format for my young daughter who lives with her dad. I think she will love it!If you are hesitating about buying it because of Donny Osmond.. DON'T hesitate any longer! Like I said, I regret not having seen it now a few years ago when he came to Milwaukee!
