A Joyful Production of "Joseph" - Go, Go, Go Donny!
This is a truly wonderful and joyful production of "Joseph"! I've seen the musical play seven times (twice with Donny Osmond as Joseph) and it remains as one of my favorite musicals. I've also listened to the Canadian cast cd so many times that I know all the words by heart. In my opinion, there is only one Joseph and his name is Donny Osmond. He was fantastic onstage and even more so in this video version! His rendition of "Close Every Door" is breathtaking. The sets are wonderful! It's great that it's been expanded beyond the stage version. The costumes are out of this world. The music, of course, is divine and all the performances are first rate! Some things were done differently in the video version but that can be expected because it's a totally different medium. The only thing I missed was the Joseph megamix which was performed for the stage show at the very end. But all in all, it's a wonderful musical and ranks right up there with the best of them!
