Rating: 5.0
The Perfect Cast!
In my opinion, this has to be the perfect cast ever assembled for JOSEPH...DREAMCOAT. Donny Osmond plays Joseph with charm and powerful vocals. Maria Friedman is the best I've seen for the narator part visually and vocally; she brings much charisma and expression to the main role of the narator. The rest of characters are all perfect visually and vocally as well. My only gripe is that I feel this movie could have skipped the annoying scenes of the children in the audience applauding after a few scenes; it really throws off the flow of the movie and during the scene of Joseph acussing the thief among the brothers...I found it annoyings as the kids in the audience interacted in the story yelling "STOP STOP STOP" "WHO'S THE THIEF?" etc. The kids choir is very good vocally but leave them out visually. Overall a very good musical to video production. Highly recommended. I've watched it about 7 times already. I love Maria Friedman's Narrator!
