Much Better Than I Expected
I love musicals but hate them on tape, so I was prepared to hate this one also. But I think this video format is far superior to just taping a staged performance. When I first viewed the tape I was disappointed with the narrator, but on second and yes third viewing I had a much more favorable opinion. The "stagey" performances that say a Sam Harris or Laurie Beecham would have turned in would have been out of place in this format. The costumes for The Mrs Potiphar girls were exactly like the ones on stage and not a problem to me. And by the way Donny Osmond was Wonderful! every word was crystal clear but yet musically beautiful. What a set of pipes and not bad to look at either.
