Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [DVD] [1999]

Product Information

Linzi is an Olivier Award nominee and Theatre World Award winner who has starred on Broadway, in the West End, with the RSC, and at the National Theatre. Baker: One of Pharaoh's servants, the Baker is in prison with Joseph who correctly interprets his dreams and predicts that he will be put to death. Played by one of the brothers. Lots of the narrator being touched in suggestive ways, her popping out from in-between dudes legs, crotch shots randomly for no reason. Disgusting this was rated with 0 stars for "sexy stuff" because there's an orgy scene. Even though they're technically not naked or having sex, the women are in very thin skin colored costumes with glitter around around their nipples, the main girl despite having normal clothes everywhere else has the thin skin colored fabric only over her boobs and glitter around her nippers again; they also have men in outfits male strippers would wear. During the orgy they heavily imply/show that they are attempting to rape Joseph. Another with tight and sometime blue or nude color fabrics, except this time they just have gold over their crotch. They also once again have a scene with women going at him trying to undress him, though this time he is slightly more willing, clearly not entirely consenting again though. Stopped watching after this point, absolutely disgusting.

After the success of the next Lloyd Webber and Rice piece, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph received amateur stage productions in the US beginning in 1970, and the first American release of the album was in 1971. The musical had its professional premiere, as a 35-minute musical, at the Haymarket ice rink during the Edinburgh International Festival in 1972. It was Part Two of Bible One, a Young Vic Theatre Company production presented by the National Theatre of Great Britain. [1] While still undergoing various modifications and expansions, the musical was produced in the West End in 1973. In 1974, its full modern format was performed at the Haymarket Theatre in Leicester and was also recorded that year. The musical was mounted on Broadway in 1982. Several major revivals, national tours, and a 1999 direct-to-video film starring Donny Osmond followed.

It might all be familiar, unthreatening fare, but it excels at its job. As the programme says: if it ain’t broke. For those who are unfamiliar with the Old Testament, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (aka Joseph ) follows the story of Joseph (Euan Fistrovic Doidge), son of Jacob, a polygamist with 12 sons. Joseph has the ability to see and interpret dreams and is his father’s favourite. Jacob gifts Joseph a multi-coloured coat as a marker of his affection. This causes jealousy amongst his brothers, and they seek revenge by selling him into slavery. The book itself is a rather straightforward, somewhat camp, musical retelling based on The Children’s Wonder Book of Bible Stories, that aims to inspire children to dream and follow who they are. Despite this intention, this production leaves much to be desired.
