Topic: A trip to see Joseph

Additional Comments: I was taken to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in Seattle this weekend.  I had seen it before, starring Donny Osmond, about 18 or so years ago.  It is such a fun play.  The lead was a former American Idol runner up named Anthony Federov. I do not watch AI so I was not familiar with him.  He did a great job singing, though he did seem a bit uneasy with the dancing and acting.  I think he will improve greatly if he continues with stage plays.  It is only playing through Sunday but if anyone here in the area was considering it, this is a very good production.  Even the children, over 50 in total, were very talented.

I'm glad you had a nice time. Tell me, was the play good as reading the real story about Joseph in the Bible?

"Just couldn't resist that one.".. hee hee. I've never saw that play. I think the last person to play "Josesph" was Donny Osmond.

  • Well since you asked, seeing the play is better since there is the added benefit of colorful visuals and music. I do have to say though, it is good to know the story in advance. My friend who took me is Shintu and has never read a Christian Bible. She had a bit of trouble figuring out what the story was about. At intermission she asked me to explain the story so she could understand better what was going on. rushlan

  • This would be so much fun to do at a Community Theater. I was involved in Community Theater years ago in California and had a great time. rushlan

    I seem to remember Michael Damian/Danny Romalotti was in Joseph on Broadway.  I believe he even sang related song on Y & R.  I remember being impressed.  This is all I could find.

    I love "Joseph." It is one of my favorite musicals. I have seen it twice. I have the CD at home and I listen to it while I do housework. I could see it over and over again. It's such a fun and clever musical.

  • It is very clever. I love the way it incorporates so many different types of music. rushlan

    Sounds like a fun production, rushlan.  I've never seen Joseph live but I have it as part of my Andrew Lloyd Webber DVD collection.  I especially like the song "Close Every Door."

  • It was a very fun time. I think Joseph is one of those plays that is really worth seeing. rushlan
