Joseph

[SOLDOUT4HIM]

What does everybody think of Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat? (Both from an artistic standpoint and a Christian one.)

I really liked Joseph. I saw it on tour and the filmed version with Donny Osmond. I thought it was a very cute retelling of the Old Testament and fairly consistent with the biblical text it is taken from. It's a simple score and drama, easily done by kids as well as adults (indeed Lloyd Webber originally wrote it for a grammar school to perform). The music is very of its time period (70's) and mimics several styles--Elvis rock and roll, disco, country western and reggae. It's a great way to turn kids on to Bible stories and musical theater.

oooo....my highschool is doing this, like, right now! lol!! I just got back from auditions tonight (didn't make the role I wanted but oh well ).

It's a great musical and I'm glad there is a musical out there to spread The Word!

i love this musical, but because of something that happened the same day i saw it last now every time i think,hear,see the titel i think of this not good thing that happened

Belinda, that's a bummer. Maybe eventually you'll have that memory disappear and then you can watch the show without probs.

I love Joseph

I really like it. Some of the themes they use for the songs r a little silly, but it still gets the message across.

I really liked it. In my opinion it gives a pretty good representation of what Joseph went through to get where he did and the faith he sustained through the whole thing. In a artistic view It was fantastic. The different themed songed to tell different parts of the story was great and Pharoah as Elvis was awesome.

I thought it was excellent and for the most part still respectable to the actual story of Jesus. The only thing that stood out as wrong in my mind was a line in the song "Go Go Joseph" that says something about having a little bit of luck and going a long way, or something to that affect.

I have never done this production but have seen it once and it was great. Biblically I believe it is accurate and the music and songs flow very well with the story.
