Colorful but not exactly a dream!
by b4grits on 6/29/11Fox Theatre Atlanta - AtlantaRating: 3 out of 5I had never seen this play before but am very familiar with the entire Joseph story from my Sunday School days. I thought the sets were interesting, the costumes colorful, the childrens' chorus was tops, but...........the lead female singer was difficult to understand and her voice was too sharp and quite coarse. Also, the percussion in the orchestra was overpowering the rest of the orchestra sounds. I thought the artist portraying Joseph had a great voice and stage presence and I enjoyed the voice and animation of the Pharoah character. I had heard so many good things about this play, so I was a bit disappointed overall. Perhaps with some different performers and a more subtle percussion it would live up to its reputation.
