I'm trying to figure out how the LDS church let one of its star members display so much flesh in this adaption of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Despite that Donny Osmond gives a good performance in the lead role.
Watching this photographed stage play I was thinking that somewhere those sets that Cecil B. DeMille made of Egypt for The Ten Commandments are laying around with nothing going on. Maybe they could have been used to give this a more cinematic feeling.
Still the singing of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice score was top rate. And I did love the casting of Joan Collins as Potiphar's wife. Think of it, Alexis Colby trying to seduce Donny Osmond, the mind boggles with the possibilities. Maria Friedman as the narrator who carries most of the vocal burden is in fine voice.
I would have liked more of a movie, still Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat works well enough for audiences of all ages.
