Product Description
From Amazon.com
Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat completed the transition from cantata for schoolkids to big-budget glitzfest with Steven Pimlott's 1991 London revival. Here's the 1992 Canadian version of that show, and even if it's not an ideal recording--Janet Metz as the narrator is no match for Laurie Beechman in the original Broadway cast and there's a little too much synthesizer in the orchestrations--this CD is valuable for the performance of former teen pop idol Donny Osmond as the title character. He's in excellent voice, and was so right for the role that he was selected to preserve it for the 2000 video production. And of course the songs are still here, showcasing Rice's witty lyrics and Lloyd Webber's chameleon tendencies--dabbling in country, calypso, French cafés, and a King-like pharaoh--as well as favorites "Any Dream Will Do," "Close Every Door," and "Go, Go, Go Joseph." This production also includes the "Joseph Remix" (also known as the "Joseph Megamix"), a nine-minute medley of themes arranged with a heavy beat that was used for a kind of onstage aerobics routine as the show's postscript. --David Horiuchi

The Best Cast Recording Overall,
By Joey E "Joey E" (Kennett Square, PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joseph And The Amazing Technic (Audio CD)
This is the best overall cast recording of the three revival cast recordings available. After hearing (and seeing in Toronto Canada) Donny Osmond as Joseph, you won't want to hear anyone else in that role. I have all the other recordings of this show, and this is by far the best recording. True, the orchestrations are a bit electronic sounding, but then again, this is Andrew Lloyd Webber and the orchestrations make the best of the available instrumentation. The songs are uncomplicated, the lyrics are playful and witty. Janet Metz as the narrator can be a little wearing on the ears after awhile, but I personally like her performance the best of the three revival casts. The American cast with Michael Damian in the lead is a joke. And the British revival cast recording is mixed differently so that all of the performers seem to be soft and lost within the orchestra. If you want just one cast recording of Joseph, this one is the one to get!

Janet Metz - two thumbs down,
By Skylar (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joseph And The Amazing Technic (Audio CD)
I'm only 14, but I've been around the block of broadway a few times, and I have to say I threw away this CD (well, not <i>literally</i>) after hearing just five seconds of Janet Metz's awful high, squeaky voice. I am also a lead vocalist, and I must say that Metz's babyish, gravelly tone is unattractive and extremely difficult to listen to.My favorite narrator is Maria Freidman, who did the film version of "Joseph." Her voice is richer, deeper - definitely better overall.
