Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Tour

Wow, I went to see 'Joseph...' last night at the Hippodrome in Baltimore, Maryland and I was blown away! If anyone is considering actually seeing this, I recommend it fully. It was a fun night, with fun music. Joseph is a great show and this production very superb.

Amy Adams - She was the best part of the evening as the narrator. It is obvious that this girl can sing, she blew everyone in the theatre away MULTIPLE times. She is probably the best narrator I've heard, and I have heard many of them. Just hearing her is worth the price of the ticket alone.

Patrick Cassidy - This guy is great. I'd heard all those negative reviews about him, so I was a little reluctant when I came in, but I was quickly impressed with his performance. I expecially like his, 'Any Dream...' and 'Close Every...'. He's a nice guy too, got to meet him after the show.

The brothers were great, and Pharaoh was HILARIOUS! Overall, the show is just very good, and very fun. You should go.

i loved this show, the show is just magic, even tho Amy was amazing in the show, if i compare her to Maria Friedman or Linzi Hateley, these 2 last actresses took the singing to the next level, and Amy just did it well. But yes, i totally agree that Amy Adams is the best part of the show, she hits all the high notes.

There is a great review on the baltimore regional page (baltimore.broadwayworld.com). The Baltimore Sun gave it negative marks but the BWW reviewer gave it an unqualified rave.

I saw it in Fl and it was great! Patrick Cassidy is in awesome shape for his age! WOW!

I LOVED Amy Adams, but Patrick Cassidy and the guy who played the Pharoah were HORRIBLE! All my friends who I was with were cringing because these guys were singing SO flat. Even the man next to me said something to me. Maybe there was something wrong with the monitors and they couldn't hear?! I dunno, but I was really dissapointed. Amy Adams was flawless though.

Any other thoughts on this show? I am thinking of going to see it when it is here in Philadelphia. In general though I am not a huge an of ALW that is the only thing holding me back so far. So compared to his other shows, how would you rate this one?

Also, I thought I saw from postings on this board that they recorded the show with this cast, and were selling the CDs. Any idea where someone can get a copy other than at the show?

Many thanks.

Amy was out when I saw it in Chicago. The understudy was dreadful. Patrick was good, but I found the entire thing insipid and I love the music. I am glad that you enjoyed.

Ditto on brdlwyr- I also saw it in Chicago with the narrator understudy. I love the music but this production was just too over the top for me.

That's all good to hear. I was debating on whether or not to see it when it comes near me. I'm definitely leaning towards seeing it now!

Who is the narrator understudy? I saw the tour in Boston and I liked some parts of it and other parts I thought they could have done better or differently. Overall, I love this show a lot though.

I saw it in D.C. in October and it was awesome!
Amy was by far the best thing about this production

To the person who asked how does this compare to his other ones, this is by far the best. I am not a huge fan of ALW (I avoided the Woman in White like the plague), but I still love this show. It really doesn't feel like an ALW show (which is a good thing for me).
