I got my tour cast recording of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in the mail today and I just wanted to post about it in case anyone was wondering the same things that I was. Personally, I don't have any issues with either Patrick or Amy except that I enjoyed Amy's performance so that's all I'd really like to say about them. The supporting cast is all acceptable. The orchestrations are not the same ones that were used for the LA, London and Canadian revival cast recordings. I could be wrong but, I'm pretty sure those all used the same orchestral tracks. These tracks are new.
It's not a complete recording as it is missing the "One More Angel" dance music and the apache dance music in "Those Cannan Days". It's also missing the second verse in "Go, Go, Go Joseph" as well as some other small cuts sprinkled throughout the recording like "Give Me My Colored Coat". That song is listed as being included, but the track ends with the reprise of "Any Dream Will Do" and no finale. It runs at 61 minutes. I haven't seen the show, so maybe those things were cut in the actual show, but in terms of completeness the DVD soundtrack is still the most complete recording. It doesn't come with lyrics, but it does have a lot of color production photos so that's cool. If you want another Joseph CD on your shelf this one isn't all that bad. It's neat that they recorded a national tour.
You can purchase a copy here.
