<p>Heh, I just bought the Joseph DVD today finally - I can't help loving it but so many people look down on me for it :D
(there's another of these "Cast the star of the musical" shows on here and it's Joseph so I couldn't stop singing it :o)</p>
<p>yeah i don't look down on you...</p>
<p>...it's just that i just got done with that show, last night, actually. i was a narrator. i just wish i could be andrew lloyd webber. rhyme goat and coat, and repeat five songs three hundred times in one musical and then BAM! fame!</p>

</p>
<p>Oh no sorry, I wasn't meaning you looked down on me! :D A few good friends of mine at uni half-jokingly say I can't admit to liking that sort of thing in public and that I need to start liking proper musicals, a sentiment many have echoed!</p>
<p>The lyrics are atrocious cheese, but I do see bits of Tim Rice poking fun at it in there (I love his work!) If you were sick of the show though, I'd love to swap with you anytime! :D</p>
<p>Our community theater is doing Joseph in June! We did it eight years ago, too, and I think it is a fun show. I like that it is all music. Only one spoken word: "Pity." At least I don't remember any more dialogue!</p>
<p>and "come and lie with me love."</p>
<p>at least we had our mrs. potiphar say it in a sultry voice.</p>
<p>oh yeah. and our potiphar said "you're mine" after "he would have to tell her that she still was his."</p>
<p>Oh it is such a cheap laugh imo if "come and lie with me love" is done in a silly voice.
Where's the "Pity" line? :S (I watched this less than 24 hours ago...I should surely remember!)</p>
<p>I definitely prefer musicals that are sung all the way through!</p>
<p>When Joseph tells Mrs. Potiphar that he doesn't 'sleep around,' she says, "Pity." At least I think that's where it comes. It's been 8 years. I don't remember yesterday very well, let alone 8 yrs ago, so I could be mistaken. Old age really stinks. :) And our director may have interpreted our version a little differently than others.</p>
<p>Oh I think I remember now!
Your memory seems excellent to me ;). Perhaps, like me, your long term memory is better than your short term memory? If forgetfulness is a sign of old age, then at age 19 I think I'm doomed! Alternatively, all the monologues and showtunes have squeezed out all of the useful information from my brain :D.</p>
<p>reviving this thread! i have just recently become a musical theatre enthusiast. i was the pianist in my school's pit orchestra for Urinetown, and after that experience, in addition to seeing Rent this weekend, i think i'm gradually becoming obsessed with the genre....if only i could sing! so far i have only seen seussical, urinetown, rent, and mystery of edwin drood, and the three except drood have been amazing. i'm excited to start exploring the musicals on this thread =)</p>
<ol>
<li>The Light in the Piazza</li>
<li>The Wedding Singer</li>
<li>Les Miz</li>
<li>Guys and Dolls</li>
<li>The Great American Trailer Park Musical</li>
<li>Jersey Boys</li>
<li>Hairspray</li>
<li>Annie Get Your Gun</li>
<li>Rent</li>
<li>Joseph</li>
<li>Oklahoma!</li>
</ol>
<p>I think that one of the best musicals is Rent, but Chicago is awsome as well and Wicked. Evita is fun and I like West Side Story.</p>
