    Joseph

    by theatergoerjane on 4/5/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    This is my all-time favorite musical and I have lost count of the number of times I have seen it. Unfortunately, I have to say that this was my least favorite production of it that I have seen. Considering that we traveled 5+ hours specifically to see it and the amount of money we paid for tickets, I was so disappointed! The whole thing felt very low budget. The narrator, however, was amazing!

    Joseph and Technicolor Dreamcoat was awesome!

    by labl1955 on 4/5/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    The show was amazing. The music was fantastic and well performed. However, the scenery or backdrop was way too stark and unimaginative. Although there was comedy sometimes the "schitk" was too much (like Jacob's apron at the table scene). Poor choice of actor for Pharoah - too skinny to be considered like Elvis. The scene with Potiphers wife and Joseph was too graphic and suggests sex between them actually happened. Still, despite that I found the show excellent because the actors/singing was superb!

    Fun show!

    by Principledan on 4/5/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    Wonderful production. I've seen Joseph numerous times and have been in the production a couple as well, and this production was well worth the price. Great use of minimal sets, some wonderful updates and changes I'd never seen before. Joseph had a very good voice and did a wonderful job. But for me the number of the show was Canaan Days...wonderfully fun vocal updates and choreography made the number the highlight of the show.

    Joseph is always wonderful to see

    by 3rdcrew on 4/5/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    This was my 3rd time seeing this show, throughout the years, The music score is the same, but the theatrics have always been different. Always a fantastic show to see. Leaving with happiness!

    Joseph...Dreamcoat was off the wall fantastic!!!!

    by ladys1234 on 4/5/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    From the first song I was engrossed. The songs were up lifting and engaging. I wanted the singing to just keep on and never stop. I was elated, energized, light hearted, laughing and just felt good. The narrator and Joseph were superb. I have seen this twice before in different venues. The staging, lighting, set design were amazing and timely. I wish they had made a CD of the songs as this would have been one that I would replay constantly. There were many young kids there that had never seen this and I know they loved it. How could you not. You had to be dead to not have let this production permeate your soul. Good job everyone! I had a smashingly grand day myself.

    Joseph was Amazing!

    by grace1959 on 4/5/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    Excellent touring production! Many of the actors were first timers. The music was amazing. The actors were excellent dancers, singers. The Narrator was especially great in the production. I have always loved Joseph - saw it back in the 90's with Donny Osmond. The actor playing Joseph did a fantastic job.

    Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

    by Anonymous on 4/4/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    I thought Joseph and Potiphar were good, not great. We had a fill-in for the narrator on 3-31-16 and she had a very unpleasant voice (i.e. shrill/pitchy) and difficult to understand. I thought the sets/costumes were very minimal/cheap for a Broadway production. I was disappointed that Joseph went under a sheet/bed covering with Potiphar's wife intimating some type of sexual encounter when in fact he was pure in his avoidance of anything improper with her. Thats one of the important parts of this story. I was also disappointed with the Pharaoh as well, not quite up to the standard of a rock-and-roll "King" voice. The music/lyrics for this show carried it, but overall an underwhelming experience for a show I have seen before and this did not live up to my and my wife's expectations as well as two other people we talked to.

    Joseph was a let down

    by musicalsareus on 4/4/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    I have seen other productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and they were fabulous! This one however was very disappointing. The singing was good, not excellent and the sets were very cheesy. Maybe a low budget production? I would not recommend this particular touring production of this musical. I am actually surprised they are even allowed to perform it like this without a disclosure that is it a different production than the broadway version.

    A "Happy Anniversary" event

    Cheap, forgettable Joseph production

    by Jeffwa49 on 4/4/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    Was very disappointed. Show felt incredibly cheap, as if every corner possible was cut. Orchestra has been stripped down to basically a small combo with no brass, just a violin for strings, 1 reed, bass, guitar, drums and 3 keyboards to try and replace the missing instruments. No children....how do you remove the children from the show?!? "Close Every Door" was emotionless and empty without the children. Set consisted of an empty stage, some curtains and the occasional use of some rehearsal blocks, a couple pieces of plywood and 3 sets of stairs . Projections were used to "replace" the set and the effect was dismal, with the exception of the finale. Cast was "OK", with the brothers up-staging the rest of the cast more than once.

    Poor production of Joseph

    by MarkTwainfan on 4/4/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    Have seen Joseph in all kinds of productions and this non-equity production barely reached community theater level. Minimalist set, uninspired lead, shrill narrator. There were some excellent dancers though. This was a birthday gift for my adult daughter (who has some professional theater experience including a production of Joseph) and she was very disappointed in this production. Usually the great songs make up for a lot of other faults but they tried to put their own spin on the music as well. There seemed to be lots of families with children who enjoyed it , including the family with 3 (not very little) kids right in front of us who paid for individual seats but sat on mom and dad's laps to watch the play - we had trouble seeing around multiple, higher-than-usual heads. All in all, spent far too much money on tickets for this below average play.

    wonderful production numbers

    by BigjohnS on 4/4/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    The music and dance was first class professional theater. The technical presentation was superior. This was a performance with advanced effects. What more can I say?

    Mediocrity on tour

    by MiddleAgedHousewife on 4/3/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    Now, don't jump to conclusions: there were some great moments in this production of Joseph. "One More Angel in Heaven" was strong, and "Those Canaan Days" was an extended, fun showcase for the performers. A friend I ran into loved the "Benjamin Calypso." And the dancing was energetic, athletic, and tight. But the tone for the night was set by the lame reliance on desert scenes projected on scrims to establish locale (because, for me, one of the most exciting parts of live theater is seeing how creatively the set itself will convey information, and these projections were as disappointing as an action movie shot in front of a green screen), and then cemented when the Narrator skipped "Any Dream Will Do" (the song whose reprise brings the entire production full circle) and plowed right into "Jacob and Sons." I was surprised at how universally dismayed the audience was by the choice of white costumes for " Go, Go, Go Joseph," but even if you'd never SEEN the production before, this just FELT wrong. The go-go style music simply begs for colorful costumes. The cast was serviceable but young. This was especially apparent in Joseph's scene with Pharaoh. If we're to believe that "When Pharaoh's around, then you get down on the ground," we need a Pharaoh who doesn't look like he should be carded. This "Joseph" knew that we already knew the songs, and knew that we were here for the songs, and knew that it could get by on the cheap with the rest.

    Not Broadway Caliber, Cheap Production

    by KatrinaAV on 4/3/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    I have seen better productions including voices, costumes, sets, choreography in community and high school performances, compared to this production. Joseph and Potiphar provided, and a couple of the dance scenes were entertaining, but far more shortcomings then enjoyment. Shea Gomez couldn't stay on key through most of her performance. The sets were almost nonexistent, as if a trip to Home Depot for moveable boards, one set of stairs met their low budget set. Use of lighting on the curtains, clothing did not add to the performance, again rang out low budget. No wonder, awe, or delight in watching this. I brought a friend visiting from out of state, and told her I thought the next scenes would offer more, wrong. They even changed the story, not having Joseph flee Potiphar's wife, but ended up under the sheets together. I will stick with productions that really deliver, and offer a great thatre experience.

    Joseph was INCREDIBLE

    by MamaJade on 4/3/16Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    As a big fan of this musical, I was not disappointed. It'd been 10 years since I last saw any production and I was ready to see it again. I read some horrible reviews, but in my mind, I was more than pleased. I thought everyone did an awesome job. They brought me to tears.

    I was not impressed with the costumes or the sets. We had a fill-in for the narrator and her voice was very unpleasant (i.e. shrill/abrasive) and she was difficult to understand. I thought Joseph and Potiphar were good, not great. The quality of the material carried the show, but it certainly was not what it could or should have been for a Broadway Show. I have seen this presented at a high school with the quality of some of the singing, staging and outfits more impressive than here. The Pharaoh again was good, but should have been much better, in regards to his voice and the "Elvis" style singing.

    Excellent show. Compares favorably to the Donny Osman version.
