Product: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Singing Good, I think...
Unlike a previous reviewer, I thought that this version had strengths in the vocal area that other versions of the musical were sorely lacking in. While I never saw it personally, I have heard recordings of Laurie Beechman's performance as the Narrator, and I believe that she has a much beefier, full voice. This is the role of a story teller, and I think that Maria Friedman serves this purpose much better than almost all of the previous narrators. Of course, Donny Osmond is a wonderful Joseph. However, there are areas where he can do better. But, all in all, he did a great job, and I was very happy with his performance.I think that this is a wonderful version of the musical. It is presented beautifully, and I don't at all think it is lacking vocally.
