    Lovely! A tribute to the classic 60's play "Joseph and Amazing the Technicolor Dreamcoat" with Donny Osmond; he is the ultimate Joseph! There are nice appearances by Joan Collins and Richard Attenborough. The narrator, Maria Freidman, is a sweet lady who articulates the story nic...( read more)ely along.

    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.

    Not the best production of this musical, but the songs are still very fun and the visuals are memorable.

    I love the music and I think Any Dream Will Do is one of the best songs ever written. I loved the humour of this film and did I mention the music? As much as I love Jason Donovan, I have to say that Donnie's voice is way better (not to mention Lee Mead).
