Free Music Notes for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1993 Los Angeles Cast)
Free Music Review: Amazing Show, Almost As-Amazing Album
Hit: 4 Stars
I recently saw a production of Joseph at high school in my area, and I was blown away. The production was outstanding, but I was equally amazed at the music genius of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The very next day, I ran out and purchased this album (along with the movie of the production of Joseph, starring Donny Osmond). Upon listening to it, I was blown out of the water again. Kelli Rabke is amazing, Robert Torti outstanding. Michael Damian is a little weak, I will have to say, but it really is not that much of a low-point.This album is an amazing reproduction of the show. If you could just replace Michael Damian with Donny Osmond, it would be perfect, because in the movie, Osmond's singing skills were outstanding. This album is a must have, even with Michael Damian. Kelli Rabke makes this album a must-have.
By the way, I highly recommend the movie as well. At times it was a little corny, but then again, isn't Broadway a little corny as well?
Free Music Review: Good Joseph recording, though not the best
Hit: 4 Stars
This recording of Joseph was the very first I ever got and listened to, and I really liked it! So it wasn't so bad that it turned me away from the show itself. I did realize that the Joseph (Michael Damian) wasn't very expressive in his singing and really was kinda monotone the whole time. Then I got to listen to other recordings, some of which are a bit better with a better Joseph and some entertaining little differences in the recordings. But they do some wonferful orchestrations with this one and it is a very good recording to start with if you are just getting into the whole Joseph...Dreamcoat thing. I also reccomend the Donny Osmond movie, which is based on some things they did with this production.Free Music Review: easily the best

If you're deciding on which version to get, I definately recommend the LA cast. I understand Damian has a weak voice, but honestly, what do you expect. Do you think the bible version of Joseph was a teen pop star?!? What a joke! Some say Damian is too breathy, but, remember, it's not just a vocal performance. He was fitting into the character. I'd like to hear your voice after being locked up in a prison cell awaiting your death! If you're going on amazing lead singer, knock yourself out, get the Canadian version. Listen to that awful narrator til your ears bleed. If you're looking for the whole piece: good acting, good vocals from EVERYONE in the cast, and an enjoyable CD, get the LA cast.Free Music Review: Overall Very Helpful Recording!

Hi, my name is Nick and I am currently starring as Joseph in my middle school's production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". This recording helped me out a lot when I was trying to learn the music. The nararator kind of sounds like a kid, so if you looking for a good nararator, get the London revival cast recording. The Joseph on this recording is really airy and I think he had a cold during his recording sessions. This is a great musical, and this is a great cast!Free Music Review: Kelli Rabke and Donny Osmond!
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD is great because of Kelli Rabke. She is BY FAR the best Narrator on any "Joseph" recording. Michael Damian makes this recording weak. I seriously tend to skip his tracks. If you want to hear a GREAT Joseph, get the Candian version with Donny Osmond. He's amazing! It's too bad Osmond and Rabke couldn't be paired on a recording together. If you're looking for a good female voice to sing to, though - a good Narrator - look no further than this CD.
