If you really like joseph....DONT buy this DVD
I was very excited as many of my fellow reviewrs for the debut of Joesph on home DVD. However, the movie was not to my liking. It took away from the great play it was and it left me shaking my head. It has been dramatically changed from its stage version and its been made way to "children-y" and cartoony. I wasn't sure I was was watching Barney or a beloved play during this DVD. Friedman was awful, I couldn't stand her by the end of the movie. The brothers were good but I've seen better acting in a high school play for those parts. A lot of the songs were changed and the movie lost all the magic the original joseph had. The Proprieter scene was god-awful. Osmond was good, however, and I give 2 stars for his performance and the play itself because it really is a masterpiece. If you have a slight intrest in Joseph or live in a small town where the play will never come to you, buy this video to experience part of Joseph. I hope somebody re-makes this DVD sometime in the future for other generations to fully enjoy.
