Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat

Saw Joseph production yesterday (Sat) afternoon and loved it. Yes, I agree with another post that the costumes and sets were brilliant - and probably done on a tight budget too. No visible technical hitches - a rare thing in non-professional productions.

Yes, some obvious hiccups but great recovery by (the understudy) Joseph. He has a lovely voice and great confidence on stage. The memory lapses might not have been too obvious to most due to that.

Great voices!! I could not believe the quality as I expected something pretty amateurish.

The narrator's voice was wonderful. Was this the understudy too? She struggled a few times in the higher register (it was VERY high, poor thing!) and she lost the (most competent) orchestra at times, but altogether a good performance. It is an incredibly demanding role and I found it an interesting change to see a female narrator.

What can I say about Pharoah that the audience did not tell him with their applause? A natural...

Benjamin Calypso singer was BRILLIANT - going to see lots of this one!

And Canaan days singer also fantastic - a most enjoyable and rounded performance, thank you!

A beautiful experience that must have been a blast to be involved with - don't you think??

Thank you to cast and crew...
