Additional Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1992 Canadian Cast) Information
|
Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat completed the transition from cantata for schoolkids to big-budget glitzfest with Steven Pimlott's 1991 London revival. Here's the 1992 Canadian version of that show, and even if it's not an ideal recording--Janet Metz as the narrator is no match for Laurie Beechman in the original Broadway cast and there's a little too much synthesizer in the orchestrations--this CD is valuable for the performance of former teen pop idol Donny Osmond as the title character. He's in excellent voice, and was so right for the role that he was selected to preserve it for the 2000 video production. And of course the songs are still here, showcasing Rice's witty lyrics and Lloyd Webber's chameleon tendencies--dabbling in country, calypso, French cafés, and a King-like pharaoh--as well as favorites "Any Dream Will Do," "Close Every Door," and "Go, Go, Go Joseph." This production also includes the "Joseph Remix" (also known as the "Joseph Megamix"), a nine-minute medley of themes arranged with a heavy beat that was used for a kind of onstage aerobics routine as the show's postscript. --David Horiuchi

What Customers Say About Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1992 Canadian Cast):

The CD came in great condition and is what was listed. Very pleased with purchase.
I wanted the CD, and this appeared to be one, so I ordered it. I immediately contacted the seller and told them I didn't want it, but it was already shipped. Nothing in the product description stated that it was anything but a CD. I was surprised when I received the shipping confirmation and it said this was a cassette. I was told if I returned it, I would have my account credited. I sent back the cassette as soon as I received it, but I'm still waiting for my credit.
One of the best versions of the show. He does a particularly good job on this album. I've listened to several different casts albums and many of the characters are solid. The one consistent stand out performer in any of the versions I've heard is Donny Osmond as Joseph. If you have to have one copy of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. it should be this one.
I love this version of the music from Joseph. I went to see the stage play in Chicago and fell in love with Donny Osmond and Joseph.
The advertising was listed the cast of the movie version, while it actually contains only Donny Osmond from the movie everyone else is not from the movie version with Maria Friedman as it states on the website. Sent it back, since this copy was improperly advertised.
