Rating: 5.0
Amazing for the whole family!
This is a great adaption of the Broadway production. This a great story with great lessons for children as well as adults! And the music is very infectious. You will be humming it all day. My family, I have children ages 3, 9 and 13, can all agree to watch this DVD. Finding family entertainment for such a broad range of ages is not easy. My 3 year old sings the songs all the time, which is a pleasant escape from typical preschool songs. My 13 year old was inspired to pick up his bible and read the actual story! And my 9 year old loves the blinged-out costumes, the children's ensemble and dancing. While I whole-heartedly think this is a family show, I do have 2 parental warnings: One is the lack of costumes on the female cast. "Everything" is covered, but the female costumes resemble a Vegas show. And the second warning is the brief seduction scene with Joseph and Potipher's wife. Again, nothing is actually shown, but there is a lot of groping and sexual inference. So parents of younger viewers beware. Other than that, this is a really good production...lots of talent, music and fun. I highly recommend it!
