Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Joseph is a “rock opera.” There is no dialogue, and the show is around an hour (the exact
length varies on different performances).
If you have the soundtrack, you have the complete
show.
I have two different Joseph soundtracks, and I can
make a copy for you of either or both.
Or, you can download the MP3’s of the songs here.
The
Soundtracks:
I mostly refer to these by who plays Joseph.
This is very similar musically to what is on the DVD,
but Donny Osmond is the only cast member that is the same.
This version is really jazzed up and extra
campy. It has a lot of energy.
It also has a lot of little things that annoy me
personally, and I don’t really like a lot of the singers.
This version is simpler, and more standard Broadway.
I think more can be done with the show than what they
have here,
but I also think its simplicity makes it easier to
learn the music from this one.
I also like most of these singers more.
Here are all of the songs, in order. [If I burned you a copy of a soundtrack,
some of these songs are actually on the same track.]
I have listed who sings in each song, not necessarily
who’s on stage. [“Chorus” means both women’s
chorus and men’s chorus (aka Brothers, but when listed as “Chorus” they’re not
playing the brothers.). There are
several places where the singing part could be Chorus, could be Women, could be
Narrators. We’ll figure it out.]
There are two extra songs on the Donny Osmond
version. The Megamix at the end is
usually used as the curtain call, and gives the show more of a big finale
feeling. It is common to simply have a
reprise of “Go, Go, Go Joseph” as the curtain call as well. We will do something like this but I don’t
know what yet. The version of “Any
Dream Will Do” listed last here actually comes right after the “Prologue” in the
Donny Osmond version, but I think that’s just odd, and I don’t think we’ll be doing
that, but here it is if anyone wants to hear it.
