Very good cast album
CD Reviews
A Very Good Recording Cast but Michael Damian ruins it . . .

"I've watched the video (outstanding!) and I've listened to the Canadian cast recording (excellent!) and now I've heard the L.A. cast recording and when I first started listening to it, Kelli Rabke just blew me away with her excellent and powerful voice as the narrator. WOW!...I was thinking, this is going to be an excellent CD. THen, Michael Damian started singing and my ears almost started hurting from his terrible recording on Joseph's Part. Don't get me wrong, I've never seen him perform on stage (maybe he's a good actor!) but his voice is just terrible. He has the ability to sing the part but it just sounds fake and emotionless. It sounds more like sustained talking rather than singing and it just ruined the whole thing for me. I was rather dissappointed because Kelli Rabke does an awesome job, Robert Torti is perfect as Pharoah and all the other voices are excellent (even the Butler & Baker!) but whenever Michael Damian sings it makes me almost cover my ears and it distracts from the rest of the cast. Donny Osmond is the best Joseph in my opinion. If only there was only a recording with Donny Osmond as Joseph & Kelli Rabke as the Narrator then there would be the perfect recording. I only recommend this recording if you like the powerful Narrator part of the musical. If you rather have the stronger Joseph vocals then buy the CANADIAN CAST RECORDING. But if you want a combination of "the Perfect cast" then just buy the video tape or DVD version where Maria Friedman as the narrator also does an oustanding job and Donny Osmond shows his strong vocals and much emotion in his acting interpritation as Joseph."

"I was very familiar with this CD when I bought it - I had actually been in several productions of "Joseph" before. So I was surprised to find how interesting and different it was from our version. I thought the singers were phenomenal and the Narrator, especially, was absolutely fabulous. Everyone in the cast had perfect diction and each song had its own personality. I recommend this CD very highly."
Skip this recording and get the Canadian cast

"Having been in 3 productions of this musical and having seen countless others, I feel that there are interpretations of it that work splendidly and some that don't. This production is fabulous. Almost perfect, if a little over-blown in the spectacle department. The one weak link is Michael Damian. He doesn't really sing, he just sort of breathes on pitch. If you into this show for its portrayal of Joseph, get the Canadian cast with Donny Osmond--a suberb characterization. If on the other hand, you like the narrator's part, get this CD because Kelli Rabke can't be beat."
THIS IN ONE AMAZING, TECHNICOLOR CD!

"I have had the amazing oportunity to be involved in a production of Joseph and it can't be beat! This revival that originated in the early 90's is one of Lloyd Webber's best. It's amazing musical score and its catchy tunes are hard to surpass. Michael Damian is one of the best Joseph's I have ever heard, and this production's Narrorator is truly a treat. If you ever have the opportunity to see this amazing show I encourage you to GO GO GO to Joseph. This CD is a fabulous tribute to a great show, and a must have for all Joseph fans!"
An average performance

"Of all the three revival soundtracks of JOSEPH I have heard, I find that this might be considered the weakest. The cast is not really strong, but the choral backings are. I don't really like Michael Damian's portrayal of the eponymous title character. He seems to breathe on pitch, and not give character to the notes he sings. Also, Kelli Rabke's Narrator, though youthful, gives me the impression that she is belting out her lines, without injecting the necessary feeling. Robert Torti as the Elvisesque Pharaoh is good here, but the video does better justice to his portrayal. Yet despite the negative things about this performance, I find that the brothers are better, and so are Clifford Davis, who portrays Jacob and Potiphar, the Baker and Butler. Overall, I find that my primary recommendation always lies with the London revival cast recording, with Jason Donovan. It is a flawless performance, and the cast is stronger there. I would advise you to think carefully about which version of JOSEPH you want to buy before buying one."
