Lloyd Webber's first project with lyricist Tim Rice was originally written in 1968 as a school cantata; accordingly, this film uses a framing sequence of a school recital, with an audience of clapping, singing kids and members of the faculty playing the roles. The Old Testament tale of Joseph and his coat of many colors gets a splashy, vigorous treatment with an energetic cast, Las Vegas-style glitz, and catchy, eclectic songs, including "Any Dream Will Do," "Close Every Door," the peppy "Go, Go, Go Joseph," and various bits of country, calypso, and Elvis. Osmond is perfect in the title role, with a strong voice and winning persona, while London stage veteran Maria Friedman performs well in the central role of the narrator. Richard Attenborough appears (and sings a little) as Jacob, and Joan Collins makes a brief, nonsinging cameo.
Joseph certainly isn't revolutionary musical theater, but if you view it as a kids' show, it's a silly good time (though there are poignant moments too). Parents should note, however, that this production might warrant a little discretion due to one suggestive scene and some risqué costumes. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
It's Technicolor, all right! I love this movie. It's just so much fun to watch and as a Donny Osmond fan for ?? years I had to get this. I've read online that he is the number one choice to play Joseph and I agree completely. Just listen to Donny singing "Any Dream Will Do" and "Close Every Door" and you'll agree too! The other cast members are very good too. Joan Collins is the perfect choice to play Mrs. Potiphar. And when you watch this you see Joseph the character, not Donny Osmond. That's how good he is. <

>I would recommend this movie to anyone as it's good clean family fun.
An awesome rendition!
This is a great representation of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". Donny Osmond does a great job doing Joseph and Maria Friedman is outstanding as the narrator! The introduction in the classroom is magical! My whole family loves to sing along....
One of the Best of all Time!!
The value of this DVD is great. The brothers are a Motley Crew and the interaction of the Narrator is also original. I do feel that some of the musicality and singing is compromised by the dubbing of some of the voices. Also the soundtrack is more exciting than what we hear when watching the movie. However, the stage settings are great and I really enjoyed the special feature of the history of Joseph. You should not pay more than $15 for this DVD.. Making it a great value.
