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

Product Information

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT retains all the sparkling wit, style, and melodies of the original Broadway musical. In a nimble eighty-minutes, viewers get a banquet of different musical styles. Jacob is told of Joseph's "death" in a twangy country-western lament; Pharaoh relates his dreams in pure Elvis style (he is The King, after all); the framing of brother Benjamin is set to Caribbean calypso; and the rest is Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular brand of catchy power pop. The multi-ethnic cast (old Jacob evidently had wide-ranging tastes in wives) contributes to the world-beat feel. Composer calls for some new theatres". The Canberra Times. Vol.67, no.21, 008.

Doidge’s boyish charm is repeatedly overpowered by Paulini’s narrator, whose vocal range and command of the stage display the star power that she has always possessed (though it is often unclear if she thinks herself narrator or conductor). Trevor Ashley’s Elvis-impersonating Pharaoh is a glimmer of hope in this production (when you can hear him), exuding jubilance and charm, finally able to deliver the camp tone the show was aiming for, with a Las Vegas-style neon sign hanging from the roof to signal outwardly to the farcicality of it all. A major Australian production, based on the 1991 UK version, opened on 31 December 1992 at the State Theatre in Melbourne. It featured Indecent Obsession lead singer David Dixon as Joseph and Tina Arena as the Narrator. The musical then played seasons in Brisbane and Sydney through 1993. [45] [46]

Meanwhile, Joseph is taken to Egypt, where he is bought as a slave by the wealthy Potiphar. He works hard and is promoted, eventually running the household. Joseph catches the eye of Mrs Potiphar and although he turns down her advances, Potiphar sees them together and jumps to the wrong conclusion ("Potiphar"). Enraged, he throws Joseph in jail.

The bigger surprise is Jac Yarrow, who made his West End debut when the production opened in 2019. He looks like a chiselled biblical superhero in his coat of many colours and belts out ballads that rival the power of Burke’s, including a soaring rendition of Close Every Door.Mancuso, Christina.
