My family and I watched this the night we learned my grandma had passed away and now we watch it every year on her anniversary to celebrate her life because the first time we ever watched it (live on TV) was with her. I have a vivid memory of being propped in front of their old fashioned TV watching it in their living room. Nothing will ever recreate those moments.
With this role, Donny Osmond proved to the doubters that he is a talented, powerful singer. Way to go, Donny. Wish you could reprise this role. "Children of Israel" is chillingly beautiful.
i love that Joseph sings the first half to Jacob. it shows that despite growing and humbling himself, he still learned a lot from and owes a lot to his father. it’s amazing.
@ Lynn Rose,... uhmm yeah, Donny Osmond GREW UP in a MUSICAL family. He has ALWAYS been a Great, talented and entertaining Singer. As a Single Artist, His first hit, was with Puppy Love, and He sang with his Other brothers as THE Osmond Brothers, and He also had hit records recording with his sister Marie, Long before they were approached about the idea of creating and singing on the Donny and Marie Show. FYI, Marie's 1st number 1 hit was with the song Paper Roses.
Back on 1993 my girlfriend at the time was living in a Chicago and she dragged me to the production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, I went of course, but I loved it and am still listening to this song in 2023
I actually worked back stage on a production of this at the Embassy Theater in Skegness in Lincolnshire UK as well as other musicals BUT this was in my own humble opinion the best ever, and i got to see it twice a day.
This is my emotional therapy. If I'm depressed, I just watch Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. All is good 👍. Thanks Donny!( and Andrew Lloyd Weber.)
Donny Osmond played Joseph in Toronto for three years. I volunteered at the theatre it played at, and I was fortunate enough to see him perform the show three times. He was really good and he’s such a nice person. I was there the night he did his final performance, and there was not a spot in the theatre that was left empty. People were sitting on the staircases, and in the isles. That’s how popular he was.
The theatre I'm involved with is doing this show. We open next Thursday and I landed the role of Jacob. When we do this scene, I'm led out to see Joseph, I'm nearly moved to tears on stage. I try think about a father seeing a son he's not seen for years and thought was dead. I love feeling the power of the moment. It's so strong and intense.
When my son was about 18 months old, he was obsessed with this video. We played it every single night for a year and a half. Donny Osmond sang my son to sleep every night
Donny Osmond and I are the same age. I couldn't have a crush on a guy prettier than me. THEN, when he was Joseph he looked better in eyeliner than I ever did. I give up! He is such an underrated performer. He can act and sing so, so very well. He proved that he could dance on Dancing with the Stars. He has such star power. He should have been a Broadway star. I believe that his "problem" is that he is a good guy and never had any scandals in his life. He gave the tabloids nothing salacious to splash on their front pages. Now we are both 64 and he is still prettier than me. Sigh.
100% agree. Donny has long been underrated; he's as good as anyone out there, and better than practically anyone today. Put him and Marie together, and the two are untouchable as an act, and obviously have been since about 1976 if anyone paid close attention to the "Donny & Marie" show. No surprise to those that did pay attention, that "Donny & Marie" have been continuously rated the "Best show in Las Vegas" for the past 9 years running!
He and the Osmond Brothers group have always been way under appreciated! He/they have many talents most people don't even realize! They sing, dance, act, play multiple instruments each, and more! They can do it all!
Donny Osmond has always been a talent that only comes around once in a lifetime! He had everything, the looks, voice, charisma, personality and acting ability, not too many personalities today can match that.
I love this play and have seen it several times. I agree Donny Osmond is an outstanding singer and actor. I love his brilliant smile too!! I never tire of watching and listening to this fabulous play. I am blessed to have watched it. Thanks to all who made it possible! You are appreciated . Becky Q. ✝️✅💜
Donny Osmond coming out in Vegas in his Rock and Roll solo during The Donny and Marie stint -- was the closest thing to ELVIS I've ever seen. The man can sing ANYthing and he ROCKED the Rock songs and shook every woman in the audience with his ballads. THIS -- is perfection. His diction is impeccable, he's breathing from his intercostals and using full voice and effortlessly. A talented man, a wonderfully sculptured handsome man and truly one of the most gifted singers on the planet. He's got his own show in Vegas starting this August -- already sold out on many dates. Legendary Icon --- but THIS without question is HIS...he OWNED Joseph.
Yeah we did this way back in 1981 in Juniors, then they took us to see it at the Crucible, been hooked ever since, about 3 weeks ago we went to the Lyceum to see it again.
James Sullivan I watched this taped version in Pre-School and Kindergarten, so about 8 years after it was released on VHS, and I absolutely loved it. (I have a pretty good memory back to when I was 3 even!) Then in 6th grade I saw it performed at the high-school in my church’s deanery, and they did a great job too! (Basically that high-school “sponsors” the Catholic K-8th grade schools I guess if that makes sense) I forgot some of the music, but remembered most of it, and when I watched the musical on RUclips a few weeks ago I became obsessed again!
Donny is an amazing performer, l adore this musical, that's a lot down to Donny's singing, acting ability. At certain moments in the show you're totally lost in the moment. Always my favourite Joseph x
I saw Donnie performing this in Vancouver BC many years ago twice! I saw it before and since and he was the best Joseph by far! His performance of close every door is incredible. I will never forget it.
How amazing that this popped up for me today. Exactly 29 years ago, on July 4, 1993 at 3pm I saw Donny Osmond in this role in Vancouver, BC. This showed up in my feed on July 4th, 2022 just after 3pm! As I listened to this I could transport right back to that moment 29 years ago. A truly memorable performance!!!
I saw him do Joseph live in Chicago many years ago and he was incredible. He got screwed over because he really is a fantastic artist and a great actor.
This musical seriously makes me cry so much. I was in this show at 11 years old at school then years later, I remember watching this at the theatre, and it was when H from STeps was Joesph. I was sobbing to this song . It does something to me, and i sob . Now im hoping to land a part in the show in the theatre! As my all time favourite musical, this would be a dream come true again..i mean..any dream will do...right?
When we saw this at the theatre in Toronto in 1996, they hooked Donny up 20 feet in the air, and he floated up and had a huge multi-colored coat flow down. It was AWESOME!!
I saw it in Toronto in 1996 also. My husband said with a bit of scorn, "I can't believe I am going to see Donny Osmond." Afterwards he raved about Donny and said how perfect he was for this role. The scene you describe truly was amazing.
@@maryoleary2037 I probably saw the same production and teenage me didn’t understand why so many “older” ladies were so obsessed with him. I’m now about the same age as those “older” ladies were back then and can understand what they meant. Lol
I saw it twice, don’t remember one actor, but one was Patrick Cassidy, not Sean or David, but very good. ALW fan, this one is one of the best, especially the way it came about.
I have a knitted jumper (pullover) that has many colours, not all of which would usually put next to each other; I don't always wear it these days but it was given to me by my stepfather as a special gift; and this song always reminds me of him.
2019 and so happy this is on RUclips!!! Donny Osmond did his thing in this movie. And Joseph singing to his father was the most touching part of the movie.
I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain To see for certain what I thought I knew Far far away, someone was weeping But the world was sleeping Any dream will do I wore my coat, with golden lining Bright colours shining, wonderful and new And in the east, the dawn was breaking And the world was waking Any dream will do A crash of drums, a flash of light My golden coat flew out of sight The colours faded into darkness I was left alone May I return to the beginning The light is dimming, and the dream is too The world and I, we are still waiting Still hesitating Any dream will do Joseph A crash of drums, a flash of light My golden coat flew out of sight The colours faded into darkness I was left alone May I return to the beginning The light is dimming, and the dream is too The world and I, we are still waiting Still hesitating Any dream will do Give me my colour coat My amazing colour coat (x2)
My family and I watched this the night we learned my grandma had passed away and now we watch it every year on her anniversary to celebrate her life because the first time we ever watched it (live on TV) was with her. I have a vivid memory of being propped in front of their old fashioned TV watching it in their living room. Nothing will ever recreate those moments.

Donny has unlimited talent...he's truly been blessed by the Lord!
and, through him , so have we.
Definitely
Donny was the greatest Joseph. He had it all: the voice, the look, comedy, drama.
Exceptional!
With this role, Donny Osmond proved to the doubters that he is a talented, powerful singer. Way to go, Donny. Wish you could reprise this role. "Children of Israel" is chillingly beautiful.
It's called close every door.
and actor
yes, agreed, and actor@@avasanbas1966
LaCurrone C huh?
I saw Mulan before finding this on RUclips, so I knew he had the chops. Children of Israel is the best song in Joseph.
I could listen to him sing this a million times and never get tired of it!
2 year later, I listen to this almost everyday when I wake up.
i love that Joseph sings the first half to Jacob. it shows that despite growing and humbling himself, he still learned a lot from and owes a lot to his father. it’s amazing.
This, to me is "Father, I've missed you so much! It's been so long, but I never forgot you or stopped loving you."
Who wouldnt sing to Lord Richard Attempborought?
Donny was a perfect Joseph. And he's a better man than he is an artist
I like that too that he sings to his father
Donny Osmond is so darn handsome and talented.
Donny osmond is so good as singer
I second that
I agree, loved him for 48 years
I totally agree with you Amy
Donny showed himself as an actor who could sing. Fabulous!
He was a singer before he went into Broadway
@@UserUser-ey4is Yes I know that Donny Osmond was a singer with his brothers and sister and solo.
@@lynnrose7562 OK okay lol I'm so glad he found something he love after going through that hard part of his life

Donny osmond is handsome in his voice soothes me with tears of joy
I saw Donny as Joseph on Broadway years ago. He owned the part.
I met Donny when his son was on the mission, such a nice man, a real gentleman.
Good to hear. You always get a sense about people, and though I've never met him, he seems to have a genuinely lovely aura about him.
One of the best Entertainers We ever had./Such a talented family.

This is one of my all time favourite musicals. Donny Osmond owns this role. He is Joseph for all time!
Donny shows that he came from a very talented family.
His nephew David was in a production of Joseph many years ago.

Donny Osmond is seriously underrated as an artist. The majority of the "singers" today pale in comparison to his singing ability.. So sad.
He truly is a good singer ..I agree.......
100% agree. Donny has long been underrated; he's as good as anyone out there, and better than practically anyone today.

MieKayla Singleton Not comparing. Just saying they’ve never been given the recognition they deserve.
Donny Osmond has always been a talent that only comes around once in a lifetime! He had everything, the looks, voice, charisma, personality and acting ability, not too many personalities today can match that.

He is definitely one gorgeous, looking man. Even at the age he is now. He may be in his sixty's, but he's still as handsome as ever.
Now you understand why women of my age fell in love with him when he and we were teenagers!
argee
Donny Osmond is a fabulous singer.His lovely voice.I love his voice.Such a wonderful singer
Donny had taken this role and has made it his own. Fantastic!!!
The most beautiful duet. Thank you Donny and Elaine for making the world more beautiful with song!

our teacher made us sing this song in primary school and now 10 years later it's stuck in my head, such a great song
James Sullivan Omg same! She showed us the Other version
Yeah we did this way back in 1981 in Juniors, then they took us to see it at the Crucible, been hooked ever since, about 3 weeks ago we went to the Lyceum to see it again.

Same here, in the mid-'70s!
Wise teacher
I'm glad he did The Masked Singer.. was heard as a good singer without being judged by his public image. He has a great voice and good expressiveness.
I knew the Peacock was Donny Osmond during the second song he sang, though, his sister sort of revealed it was him during an interview
I saw him on the masked singer. Stupendous. But I felt old when my granddaughter did not know who he was and wondering why I was thrilled to see him.
@@nedraleggett9088 Not everyone knows who he is, I was born in 1980 and yet, I knew who it was
@@JadenYukifan28 my granddaughter was 10 at the time. So she was unaware of his fame. But I was excited. He is a Showman.
Donny is an amazing performer, l adore this musical, that's a lot down to Donny's singing, acting ability.
At certain moments in the show you're totally lost in the moment. Always my favourite Joseph x
Donny Osmond is fantastic. He sings beautifully.
Saw that show in Toronto with Donny Osmond. Don’t think my feet touched the floor for hours afterward. Amazing show!
Saw him in the north America production of Joseph.he blew me away with his vocal talent and his talents on stage.
Donny was the biggest star of the family. I agree - seriously underrated..
Best Joseph ever.
Donnie is a singer for sure....
I saw Donnie performing this in Vancouver BC many years ago twice! I saw it before and since and he was the best Joseph by far! His performance of close every door is incredible. I will never forget it.
And what of Jason Donovan, sir?
I saw the play with Donny Osmond played Joseph he was great. It seemed that part was made for him!
Gosh! The ending seriously gives me chills.
I know, right?
EmilyMikuChan me too
Donny Osmond is brilliant in this

That's a perty man right there. And he can sing well, too!
This is interesting. I have had a crush on him for years. He sings so well, and dances, too.
My great grandma and me used to watch this all the time when I was little. I absolutely love this musical. Makes me cry. ❤
I saw him do Joseph live in Chicago many years ago and he was incredible. He got screwed over because he really is a fantastic artist and a great actor.
I came upon this video by accident, but i am amazed by the first minute. The acting is so good it doesn't seem like acting at all.
Because of his strong faith I don’t think a lot of this waa acting.
He really hasn't done so bad in life! Society's taste change with time. He came back into favor. Some don't.
He has a voice of an angel 👼🏼 xx
I love Donny. X

Donny gave it all here. Sumptuous indeed.
Drop dead gorgeous as always and even when wearing a loin cloth with gold sequins! LOVE Donny

I saw Donny live in Toronto doing this show, years ago. He was so AWESOME!! And it was clear he was enjoying himself immensely!!
Agreed! He is a great singer and actor in this favourite.
Donny Ormond is so talented. I have loved him since Puppy Love. He has an amazing voice and he has so much talent.
The Peacock sent me here. 2019.
Yes indeed
This 👆🏿
I’ve been saying was him from DAY ONE.
Well ain't you lucky
@Dillards Shopper Yes, he should have! I was so mad when he lost. 😭
met Donny and his son on there Missions to the UK, absolutely real GENTLEMEN the pair of them.
I'm nearly in tears it is this touching!
Donny Osmond is soooooo incredibly talented!!!!!
And so damn beautiful 😍
His range is fantastic and the breath of his talent is amazing. I wish I could see his version of this wonderful show.
I agree Tony , love Donny Osmond and always will. Thanks for all the many years of memories as long as I can remember
Still amazing since a kid even better like wine gets better but still looks good
I so loved this musical. Still have all the music on a playlist.
Starts off slow and chill, ends up like: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Saw Donny perform 3 x's in Toronto. Best performance ever!
My moms been obsessed with the brothers and Marie since she was 13 years old! Now she’s 63 myself and her grandson still love them all!
No one else could have done this any better than Donny.
I love this movie and own it on DVD. Donny sounds great in this movie
This is the song that you think of out of the blue and then it gets stuck in your head for 2 weeks.
Yes!! Just yesterday and now it's all I hear. 🙂🎶🎶🎶
2019 and so happy this is on RUclips!!! Donny Osmond did his thing in this movie. And Joseph singing to his father was the most touching part of the movie.
Donny was by far the best Joseph!!!
Yup. I'm crying. Thanks Donny.
Wow,when their voice clashes together they sound wonderful!
Gave me chills! Donny has a beautiful voice!
I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
Joseph
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
Give me my colour coat
My amazing colour coat (x2)
The best Joseph ever! Knew Donny at the Toronto show....his first showing in this play! I worked at the Elgin Theatre!
I love this! Donny is perfection! Love his voice❤️
No words just tears thank you
Gorgeous Donny 💖💖💖💖💖
