Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat


The thing is, I am actually really fussy about musicals. People expect me to blanket love all musicals but there are plenty that simply annoy me, I also have to be in the mood for them.

No such troubles with Joseph however, I adore this. This is everyone's entry level musical as a child and with good reason. It's brilliant. Tim Rice is a genius with his lyrics and never more so than in this. One More Angel In Heaven makes me laugh every time I hear it: "Joseph we'll never forget you, it's tough but we're going to get by!"

Listening to the Joseph soundtrack is the ultimate balm to a troubled day. Nobody can be in a bad mood listening to Joseph's Coat.

I found this on YouTube which is pretty good but it seems to be located in the American wild west! Enjoy.

  2. Tim Rice is just a genius with his lyrics, my all time favourite being the classic 'they have to adore me so Christian Dior me'.

  3. Another favourite is 'If you'd come today you could have reached the whole nation, Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication'
