I purchased The Osmonds Live in Las Vegas 50th Anniversary 2 DVD collector's edition and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
It certainly brought back a lot of memories for me when I was just a young kid listening to the Osmonds many albums or watching the Donny and Marie shows.
It was delightful to see all the siblings performing on one stage. I have purchased many of the Osmonds' concerts on DVD but I never had the pleasure of seeing them all performing together , not even when they came to Singapore for a concert in 1980. That year Merrill suffered a heart attack and couldn't join his siblings for the tour.
The Osmonds are coming to Singapore again this year for their 50th reunion and I am going to see them again and this time Merrill is coming too!!! YUPPEE!!! Okay. I know I am getting too excited but how can I not?!!
This is a must get_must see-must keep DVD. In fact, my sister who is also an Osmond fan saw this DVD and loved it so much and I, in keeping with that sentiment felt she just had to keep the DVD, so I gave that to her and I am purchasing another one for myself.
So...I am recommending that for a recurring fun filled adventure of family fun, music, warmth, and love, get this DVD, no regrets!!!!

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1982 Original Broadway Cast) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was my first recording of Joseph. I owned it even before I saw the play on stage for the first time. Before I got the revival recordings, I would listen to this one sometimes as much as three times a day. I thought it was perfect. Now, I don't find it perfect anymore, but I do like it. Bill Hutton has an absolutely beautiful voice.I've never heard anyone do vibrato quite like him. But I don't think that he has quite the right kind of voice for his role. I think Donny Osmond's voice is much better suited for the role of Joseph. Laurie Beechman sounds as if she comanded the stage more than Joseph did. She does such an amazing "Pharaoh Story," that sometimes I just skip to that track on the CD and leave the rest unlistned to. And she gets very in to the songs. I'm sure that if she hadn't been a woman, she probably could have played Joseph. The brothers here are just the opposite of the ones on the revival recordings.While the revival brothers basicly sound good as individuals, but not so good as a group, these sound great as a group, but only so-so as individuals. Napthali sounds so much like a woman that I thought he was the narrator until I read otherwise. I don't know who's idea it was to have Potiphar do his own song, but it is interesting. I don't own the recording that has a male narrator, but with this CD, I get a taste of what it might be like. Tom Carder does an almost perfect Elvis impression, but I just don't like him as much as some others. This recording may not be the best of the bunch, but it was my first. It helped me get hooked on an amazing musical.

Principal cast includes: Laurie Beechman (Narrator); Bill Hutton (Joseph); Gordon Stanley (Jacob); Tom Carder (Pharoah). Recorded at The Power Station, New York in February, 1982. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has the distinction of being the only musical that starred Michael Damian, Donny Osmond, and Andy Gibb. Aside from attracting former heartthrobs, the musical stands as being one of the most approachable musicals based on religious materials. A rather straightforward telling of the tale of Joseph, the favorite son of Jacob (also known as "Israel"), Joseph the musical has catchy songs and colorful characters (not to mention their costumes), making it a favorite of parents who want to take their children to a Broadway show. For anyone who`s read the Bible, the story is predictable, although author Tim Rice has taken several liberties with the Good Book. Highlights in the score include "Close Every Door," "Go Go Joseph," "One More Angel in Heaven," and "Any Dream Will Do." For some, Andrew Lloyd Webber`s music might be a bit too saccharine, but on a whole the show is fun, buoyant, and energetic. ~ Sarah ErlewineTrack Listing:# DISC 1 1.

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1992 Canadian Cast) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to admit, I purchased the CD of this version of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" mainly out of curiosity over Donny Osmond's performance as Joseph. Well, he is superb. His voice is clear and strong, and he delivers outstanding renditions of the character's songs. The rest of the cast in this, the 1992 Canadian version of this musical play, also does a fine job.
"Joseph," with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, is a consistently entertaining CD. The lyrics re-tell the story of the biblical patriarch Joseph (found in Genesis 37-45), and Rice sticks remarkably close to the source material. "Joseph" has many inventive and humorous touches (such as making the Pharaoh sing his part a la Elvis Presley, or having Joseph's brothers break out into a calypso song).
"Joseph" works because of its combination of a compelling story, clever lyrics, and superb music. If you have heard other CD versions but have not listened to this one, check it out.
