Theatre Fun
I just got back from seeing a Broadway touring company. Good times.
Ok, I have a statement to make. Blast me and laugh at me if you must, but it will be said.
I know a lot of you have been subjected to really obnoxious church or community productions of Josepeh and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, some of you have even been in them. I understand. I sympathize.
HOWEVER...
I must say that a really, really good production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is ADORABLE!
It's boisterous, high-energy, full of light and color and whimsy and ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL!
A good time was had by all. Honestly, I like it a lot more than a lot of other Lloyd Webber shows.
No Les Miserables alums or anything, but the cast is exceptional. Also, the set and light design were as colorful as the name of the show would call for and quite spectacular in themselves. The last image of Joseph in his coat of many colors, now with added sequins standing in a stream of colored lights and looking like a big rainbow mirror ball is a great one.
It's not the best show ever, but when it's done right it's one of the most fun.
