When I was in 1st grade, I remember my family and I getting the VHS from some store that I don't remember, and I remember watching this movie so frequently when I was not in school or doing homework. We even had the CD version of this Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice musical in the car that we would listen to so much, and now we have this music on our iPod. When I was little, I always liked all of the color effects they would use when they mention each color on Joseph's coat, and I also liked how the kids watching the play would sing "Any Dream Will Do" with the character of Joseph. To this day, I still like to have goals to aim to watch this movie sometimes on Passover, but I am not always able to. I strongly recommend this movie to everyone who celebrates the Jewish holiday of Passover, because this is a must for all musical fans, and it is my personal favorite Broadway show.

No matter how many times I watch this musical, it never ceases to inspire me, overwhelm me, fill me with emotion and make me laugh. From start to finish, it is a glorious, amazing, joyful celebration of one of the most well-known and beloved stories that is found in the Bible.There is nothing about this musical that I don't like. Every song and performance is absolutely fantastic. Donny Osmond looks and sings really great. I particularly like his rendition of "Close Every Door". Maria Friedman is likewise at the top of her game, and I love her powerful voice, funny antics, facial expressions and charm. Robert Torti as Pharaoh singing "Song of the King" Elvis style is hilarious and unforgettable. Gerry McIntyre as Judah singing "Calypso Benjamin" is also a real treat. In fact, every other singer/actor puts in a very worthy performance as well without exception.Then, of course, there are all of the happy, smiling children who both serve as audience members, actors and chorus. They add such a special, heartwarming touch to the entire production. You'll love them!In addition, the choreography is wonderful with such a variety of dance styles, as is the wide selection of song styles. The colors and costumes are bright and cheerful, and add to the excitement of watching this show. The humor throughout this musical is very contagious.I don't often give out a ten, but this video definitely deserves it. Do yourself a favor. Rent it or purchase it today!

This was much better than I thought it might be, and I give it a high grade in a number of areas, beginning with production. This looked good, sounded good and simply was good! For some reason, I didn't expect much from Donny Osmond. I guess the Osmond is a lot more talented than people give them credit for, and I won't make that mistake again. I'd say the same for Joan Collins, who I could not picture in a "biblical film," but she did just fine. Then again, she played the villainous "Potiphar," so it wasn't like she was playing against type!Normally I wouldn't care for something that was akin to an opera (all the lyrics being sung) and would skeptical about any Hollywood did regarding the Bible (figuring it would be distorted) but - once again - I was surprised. The story stayed true to the Bible and the presentation was so well done - and so incredibly colorful on this DVD - that is was a very satisfying and entertaining adaptation..What most people who liked this DVD would cite the acting, the singing, the songs and/or the story as what impressed them most but, to me, it was the brilliant, stunning color in this play. Besides being a classic Old Testament story, this is a real visual treat.

I got this movie for Christmas, and was amazed at how good it was. I had asked for it because I'd heard of the show, but never seen it or listened to the songs. My whole family loved it! Donny Osmond did a great job playing Joseph, and the Narrator was great, you can tell she was loving the whole show.The songs were superb, I loved the children singing backup! The dancing was amazing as well, the song One More Angel in Heaven was hilarious, and the dancing was incredible! The only thing that I did not approve of was that after Joseph went to Egypt, many of the costumes were very reveling. Not recommended for very young viewers.
