Negative Positive
Title: Far below expectations
Review: Don't get me wrong, I've thoroughly enjoyed the music from Joseph for years and the several college-level productions I've attended. I had such high hopes for the video and couldn't wait for its release. I was sure it would be a video to watch over and over as I do other videos of Lloyd Weber's music. Sad to say, one viewing was plenty for me. The music was as good as ever but the sets and the staging were terrible, and the costumes far too risque for a play aimed at a younger audience. I was unsettled by, and uncomfortable watching, sets designed to look like children made them with costume design obviously aimed at a very adult and mature audience. All in all, I thought it was a very amateurish production from a company who I know is capable of doing better work than this.
Is the review positive or negative?
