Posted: 12/12/04 at 4:54pmThanks! I was happy because I didn't try out for a main role, just chorus, but they put me as one of the brothers! Now I just gotta start learning to do those dance moves we had to do at the auditions!

Posted: 12/12/04 at 4:55pm*pouts* I was supposed to be in Joseph at a community theatre but it cost too much. I was in it two years ago...one of the best theatre experiences of my life.

Congrats!
I am currently a light board op for a production of Joseph. The show is a lot of fun, but by the end of the run, the songs will drive you crazy...

Posted: 12/12/04 at 4:57pmI'm ready to start rehearsals, but the music and scripts and all of that hasn't come in yet. It's supposed to be in this week so we'll probably start really soon.

Posted: 12/12/04 at 5:44pmI was a brother (short on guys abd people in general) in my camp production this summer, and ignoring my camp's inability to put on a good show, it was fun. I got sick of the music though.

Posted: 12/12/04 at 5:49pmCongrats. I'm not a big fan of this show or Andrew Lloyd Webber in general though.

Have fun 
This is a fun show - for both the audience and the actors. I've seen it twice on the West End and in a local production ... and I do have the DVD as well ( with Donny Osmond). One of the most played musicals in schools.

Posted: 12/12/04 at 6:44pmI just did the lead in "Joseph...". What a wonderful show! I've been lucky enough to do Joseph and a few months ago, I did the Narrator for a benefit concert. I love the music!! There's just something about that show that makes you feel happy.

Congrats-
This show holds special meaning for me because it was the first show I completly memorized.
re: Joseph#16
Posted: 12/12/04 at 8:21pmLOL. Joseph is the first show I have memorized all of the lighting cues...all 90 of them.
re: Joseph#17
Posted: 12/12/04 at 8:32pmI have never been in it, but my good friend has been in it twice (once ensemble, once Benjamin) and he used part of the megamix dance (with the choreographer's blessing) in a show he wrote and directed that I was in. I got tired after six minutes, and I can't immagine all 10.
re: Joseph#19
Posted: 12/12/04 at 9:48pmCongrats. By the way, if you want the soundtrack to the dvd they released, they have it at www.reallyuseful.com. I searched EVERYWHERE for it on the internet because my fiancee is in love with this musical and it didn't even hit me to go to Webber's official website (Derrrrrrrr!!) But, it is the best recording there is.

Posted: 12/12/04 at 10:44pmGood luck and congrats! My school was supposed to do that show last year before a surrounding school StOlE it from us. Oh well, we are doing Les Miserables this year!

re: Joseph#22
Posted: 12/12/04 at 11:09pmAs you can probably tell from the pic, I was in Joseph last year (as Joseph). Technically I was the lead since there was four narrators. That or the "Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" with its registered trademark and all was the lead. Anywho, it was awesome because we got the score from the Donny tour (the cunductor of part of the tour gave it to us since he was an alumn of the group). Yeah. It rocked. By the way.. anyone else out there done Joseph with multiple narrators in harmony? And anyone else think the part of Joseph sounds better when transposed down a step or two?

I wasnt in one that had 3 narrators, but i have seen a version that did it. I t ruins the show, the role is written for one one woman, not 3. When i did it we used just one,

Posted: 12/13/04 at 12:37amI did it earlier this year. A lot of fun. I was a brother as well. We had two narrators, that harmonized together and stuff(not split into acts or anything). A lot of fun, not a fan of the music, but a fun experience nonetheless.
