5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Musical Theatre Show, September 15, 1999

By

This review is from: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Paperback)

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is the perfect show for children and adults alike. The kids like the larger than life characters while the adults can appreciate the tongue in cheek humor expressed in the songs.

This book is a nice addition to any songbook library, as it includes all of the songs from Joseph as well as the accompanying piano part. If you enjoy musical theatre, sitting around the piano and singing, this is a great book to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book has a complete score., October 12, 2002

By 

El Barto (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Paperback)

In other reviews, some people suggested that the book doesn't have
complete score, but that's wrong. For example, the first song by the
narrator is the same as Pharao's Song. You only need to
replace the lyrics.
I checked each DVD track with this book, and it has a complete score.
This music book is not intended for piano solo, and it does not
have any chords. It has voice parts (solo, duet, chorus) and
piano accompany part for actual performance.
I heard that this musical went through a lot of revision and
additions. So, I expected that the scores might be different,
since this book was published in 1975. But I was surprised to
see that there is virtually no difference from the DVD release
(1999).

4.0 out of 5 stars What a great selection of music!, December 2, 2000

By 

Ryan (New Orleans) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Paperback)

I recently performed in an amateur performance of "Joseph," and because the 'official' scripts (updated in 1995, I believe) hadn't arrived yet, we used portions of this book (with a score from the '70s) to begin rehearsal and choreography. We were expecting some changes to the score, but to our surprise, the only song that was missing was the Prologue, which we had been choreographing to the CD. Some of the harmony and character breakups had been changed, but apart from that, the score was essentially the same. This book is perfect for those of you who need audition music ("Close Every Door", "Pharoah", "Any Dream Will Do"), or those of you who just enjoy singing solo or with friends.
