Stage musical successfully brought to the screen.
A sweet, candy-colored confection for the entire family.
Stagey production w/enthusiastic Donny Osmond.
A flamboyant interpretation of the classic Webber-Rice rock musical.
Audience Reviews for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Super Reviewer
There are great catchy songs, done in different musical genres (western, opera, rock, orchestral...)
The sound mix is odd; some of the voices on the recording do not come through loud enough; and it's not just my copy or home theatre setup! I noticed they also did not include the mega-mix dance finale on the filmed version unfortunately.
There are lots of bright colors - partially blame the coat! The sets are great too, going much deeper and wider than a school stage. I loved the framing device of a auditorium performance; it really brings it back to its roots.
I remember our school doing this musical when I was in grade 4. I also remember seeing this live in Edmonton with Donny on stage.
