Customer Reviews

Just Checking...

I'm just checking, in the top-left corner of the image for this book, it says "Intermediate Duet" and in the top-right it says "4 hands - 1 piano". Is this a/the duet book, or is that a faulty image?

The book has a complete score.

In other reviews, some people suggested that the book doesn't have complete score, but that's wrong. For example, the first song by thenarrator is the same as Pharao's Song. You only need toreplace the lyrics. I checked each DVD track with this book, and it has a complete score.This music book is not intended for piano solo, and it does nothave any chords. It has voice parts (solo, duet, chorus) andpiano accompany part for actual performance.I heard that this musical went through a lot of revision andadditions. So, I expected that the scores might be different,since this book was published in 1975. But I was surprised tosee that there is virtually no difference from the DVD release(1999).

Joseph- You Love The Show? Get This Book!

This book is wondeful! I was a little weary about getting it because I wasn't sure what songs it contained. I read a review that said all songs were included, but I was still unsure. I got the book sooner than I expected and it surpassed all of my expectations! EVERY song is in this book. Even chorus parts! I am so glad to have found this book before I purchased a "highlights" book for the same price. If you love "Joseph" and want music for auditions or just to have, this book is the definite choice!

It's fun even if you don't know the music.

The Quentin Blake illustrations are cool. The lyrics are very readable. (Quentin Blake illustrated many Roald Dahl books) A 4 year old friend of mine loves this book and sings along with it.

Excellent Musical Theatre Show

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is the perfect show for children and adults alike. The kids like the larger than life characters while the adults can appreciate the tongue in cheek humor expressed in the songs.This book is a nice addition to any songbook library, as it includes all of the songs from Joseph as well as the accompanying piano part. If you enjoy musical theatre, sitting around the piano and singing, this is a great book to get.
