A Dream Come True for Joseph fans anywere
Back In December 99 I had the pleasure of performing this wonderful play, and when I heard the video was due to come out I was on pins and needles the entire wait. And now that I've seen it I realize the wait was well worth it. Joseph does an excellent transition to film. far FAR superior to CATS the actors in this version are truly sublime. Donny Osmond is, and will always be the best performer to ever portray Joseph. Friedman had a wonderful, charming touch as the narrator, and Attenborough gave me a surprise in his portrayal of Jacob. Ian McNiece, though had an interesting edge as Potiphar, his mighty roar just wasn't intimidating enough. I think that everyone should see this movie. It's a fine example of what movie musicals can be. Let's just pray that "Phantom of the Opera" will work. (crossing fingers.)
