Joseph and the Amazing Techincolor Dreamcoat, based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's and Tim Rice's hit musical, comes to life in the movie adaptation by David Mallet. Donny Osmond leads the movie in an invigorating performance as Joseph, the son of Jacob and brother of eleven other men who get jealous of Joseph's special treatment (and his red-yellow-green-brown-scarlet-black-ochre-peach-ruby-olive-violet-fawn-etc.) coat and sell him into slavery, where he becomes the Pharoah's number two. The colourful and lively movie is based off of the Book of Genesis, but stands by itself as a bright explosion of fun and warm songs. The music spans from western to rock and roll to calypso, appealing to almost anyone. The movie is perfect for families who want to get their young children into musicals, as Joseph is one of the most family-friendly musicals of them all. - @reallylikesmusicals of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
