Thank You Andrew Lloyd Webber

SO FOR EDUCATION WEEK AT BYU THEY PUT ON A PRODUCTION OF JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT. I REALLY ENJOY THIS PLAY BECAUSE OF THE BRILLIANCE OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER. HIS MUSIC IS CATCHY AND MELODIC AND INTRICATE AND PRETTY MUCH PERFECT. THIS SHOW HAS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE STYLE OF MUSIC. FURTHERMORE, I DID REALLY ENJOY THIS PRODUCTION. WELL LET ME SAY THERE WERE SOME NEW IDEAS AND MORE THINGS THAT I DID ENJOY THAN THINGS THAT I DIDN'T.

WHY I LIKED THIS PRODUCTION
1) THERE WAS A MODERN COLORFUL TWIST PUT INTO THE SHOW. (THIS INCLUDES COSTUMES, SETTING ETC. WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN)

2) THIS SHOW USED 3 NARRATORS INSTEAD OF ONE. wHILE I WAS ALWAYS PARTIAL TO THE BLACK SUIT THAT I'VE SEEN THE NARRATOR WEAR BEFORE, THESE GIRLS HAD SHNAZZY GLITZY COSTUMES. ASIDE FROM THE VERY FIRST DRESS WHICH WAS A BIT FLOWY AND UNFLATTERING FOR MY TASTE I THOUGHT THE COSTUMES WERE GREAT. EACH ONE OF THE GIRLS COULD SING AND THEY SOUNDED SOLID WHEN THEY HARMONIZED TOGETHER.

3)POTIPHAR WAS PIMPED OUT!! HE HAD A NEAT ZOOT SUIT ON. IT WAS COLORFUL AND PINSTRIPED. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A MOB BOSS AND HE HAD GANGSTER HENCHMAN.

4) JACOB AND HIS SONS WERE SUPPOSED TO OWN AND OPERATE THEIR OWN LITTLE ESTABLISHMENT WHICH WAS A KIN TO SOME SORT OF FRENCH BISTRO. JACOB AND HIS SONS WERE GLAMOURED UP A BIT.

5) THIS PRODUCTION INCLUDED THE SISTER DINAH. SHE DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE LINES OR SING OR ANYTHING BUT SHE SPENT TIME AROUND HER BROTHERS AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY. SOMEHOW EVERYBODY SEEMS TO FORGET ABOUT HER.

6) EGYPT WAS BEDAZZLED AND TURNED INTO ANCIENT LAS VEGAS.

7) PHARAOH'S SONG TURNED OUT SO WELL. PHARAOH HIMSELF PULLED OFF THE ELVIS GIG RATHER WELL. BUT THE WHOLE SONG WAS GREAT BECAUSE OF THE CHOREOGRAPHY AND THE COSTUMES. COSTUMES WERE GLITTERY, RETRO, COLORFUL. ALL OF THESE DANCER'S/TOURISTS WERE DOING WHAT I THINK IS A STYLIZED DANCE. IT WAS A THROWBACK TO THE HAND JIVE AND IT CONNECTED THE MUSIC AND THE TIME PERIOD REALLY WELL.

8) THERE WAS A FULL ON TANGO WITH ALL 11 SONS DURING THOSE CANAAN DAYS.

9) THE COLORED COAT CAME OUT OF A GAP BAG. THE FOOD JOSEPH GIVES TO HIS BROTHERS CAME IN CHILIS TO GO BAGS.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE.
PHARAOH'S WIFE WAS FRUMPY AND NOT NEARLY SEDUCTIVE ENOUGH.
THE CHEESY BIBLE JOKES DURING GO GO GO JOSEPH

THINGS I'M NOT SURE ABOUT.
THE BAKER HAD A PUPPET PLAYING THE BUTLER. IT WAS A LITTLE FUNNY AT FIRST BUT IT GOT KIND OF OLD

IT WAS COOL SEEING ALL 4 OF JACOB'S WIVES

THE ISHMAELITE WERE CIRCUS PEOPLE. SIDESHOW CARNI FOLK.

PHARAOH'S SOLDIERS LOOKED LIKE ROMAN SOLDIERS AND I DON'T THINK THAT WAS VERY ACCURATE AT ALL.

NEXT ON MY LIST THE SCARLETT PIMPERNEL AND THE DROWSY CHAPERONE
