Read my comment about this!!! Truth tho. HIDDEN THINGS IN THIS SONG: 4:28 Joseph/Donny mouths, "okay" 4:36 Joseph/Donny mouths, "Cows." (If you noticed, he asked Pharaoh for the cows, but Pharaoh told him the corn again, so Joseph goes to the Narrator and asks for the cows story, and flips the pages so he can read it, that's why he finally figures out the dance moves.) YOU'RE WELCOME!!!
@@irsyadmuflih18 Good point there. In fact, from what I read about Jesus Christ's Superstar's opening in London, Richard O'Brien tried to portray King Herod as an Elvis impersonator as well. The impression was so poorly received that he left the show after only one performance.
This was the last musical I saw with my grandfather before his mental health got to bad to go to anymore prior to the pandemic. Will always have a special place in my heart.
Also, it’s just playing into the historical association of the Mississippi with the Nile Being that rock and roll was more or less pioneered by black people living in the South, especially along the Mississippi and Elvis being designated as “The King of Rock and Roll”, the metaphor was ripe for the picking.
I remember that I would watch this musical on repeat, because I just loved this musical. And I never got bored of it, and I am still not bored of it even now.
am going to play as Elvis for the Pharaoh but first thing I need to get Elvis things for this Christmas coming up before Elvis becomes the Pharaoh for tomorrow am writing this song called seven fat cows for my character Elvis as Pharaoh to sing this song but he is performing it in Outside lives
@@flyingtoaster1427 no thank you for gods sake and don't bring balloons in it and even that is not a parody version of Elvis it is just a guy who looks like him and remember leave my Elvis alone I bet you have got that I bet it did there that got you sorted
My son played this part in school as elvis it brings back so many happy memories. He is now in uni studying media and performance. I really hope he makes it and can tell his pharoa story.
that's what am doing like making films and that is media and for performance it is performing arts like acting games and musicals because am in one on this Friday as mad hatter
This is one of my favorite musicals, it was the first one I every saw (at least that I can remember). Donny and Maria are amazing, and I love the Elvis Pharaoh. It is such a brilliant song. The dancing is great too.
💜💜 This will always have special meaning to me.... not only was this an amazing musical stage show and Donnie was beyond amazing but it was also the night I became engaged 💍 to my now hubby it was an amazing night and definitely fairytale for me from the beginning of my afternoon all the way till the end of the night ..... just magical 💜💜 🪄 👰♂️ 🤵 🎶 🎼 🎵 💕
My son recently played Pharaoh Elvis in a school production. It meant he learnt about Elvis, I was extremely proud and excited being a big Elvis fan. I'd never seen Joseph before but thoroughly loved it. And I rekindled my love for EP and the family has a new appreciation for him. Great stuff
This show gives me so much nostalgia 😭 remember watching it in primary school, before we performed it when I was in year 6... went to see it in the West End not long after that. Such a brilliant show!
TIM RICE is a friggin genius. This is so clever and funny. I just noticed for the first time ever that they are wearing blue suede shoes! just like Elvis sang about.
Gotta love how Pharaoh is inquisitive enough to know Joseph’s name without the Butler saying it, but misunderstands which part of his dream Joseph needs him to repeat.

I remember the musical as Joseph and the rainbow coat. I was in the school play as one of the Egyptians. While it was in Welsh, I don't recognise this song very well. I remember it being more upbeat and groovy. It has been years but I yeah, I kinda miss the music I remember.
As a little kid I loved this movie, and now as an adult I'm shocked my private school let us watch a movie with ladies in fish net dresses and strategically placed glittery crotch triangles...
It's honoring the original -- and the way Theatre of Harrisburge was a big bit more than reluctant to do -- considering themselves, from the top down, a conveyor of 'family theater.' ho hum. it's EEEEGYPT! And PS/ as a child, any sensual stuff ought to go over your head.
Andrew Lloyd Weber is such a Master, a genius. How I wish our Local Movies gets to do something like it. I have waited for years and got nothing. I gave up and switched to Hollywood. Can you blame me? This scene specially, made me laugh so much but in a good and healthy way. I am bent on the Arts, too. I knew I could do something like it, I had some tries on stage Plays Production, but for lack of talents, tools, and so many others to go with it which I did not have, it came time for just giving it all up. .
Iconic film and musical, iconic Joseph, ICONIC Pharaoh! The Elvis Pharaoh is my favourite bit of the musical, cracks me up every time! Robert Toti will forever be my favourite Pharaoh (and he's in one of my favourite films too which is a bonus!) and Donny as my favourite Joseph
I had the album by Mixed Bag years ago. Tim Rice was credited as Pharo and did a spot on Elvis impersonation. More songs have been added since then such as Canaan days and Benjamin's calypso.
4:35 I've not seen this musical before, and to me this is hilarious because it just looks like Joseph has no clue what he's doing and goes over to the narrator to check the script because he thinks the correct interpretation must be in there.
@@musicaltheatergeek79 I think that's kinda the joke. There's a few references in the musical itself knowing its a story such as the line in the song "Go, Go, Go Joseph" - "Don't give up, Joseph, fight till you drop We've read the book, and you come out on top"
If Elvis Presley had been at Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat's premiere night at West End 1973 and through the years all the way to Canada/US Tour 1998 and all versions would have been on RUclips, we could have seen how Elvis would have been like as a pharaoh. Plus if Elvis hadn't left just yet where he would have permanently had his hair combed back and outgrowing, a darkest tan all over his skin, and grown and kept a beard and mustache for life, and with Andrew Lloyd Webber's permission, he would have had the "Song of the King" to be one his most popular songs and he would have sang that song, with these very lyrics, on the Muppet Show, the Jim Henson Hour, Muppets Tonight, Luciano Pavarotti's concerts (as well as performing with Luciano Pavarotti), many Disney movies where he would sing to impress the kids, and Thomas and Friends where he would have voiced and sang as a Futuristic Strong Steam-Locomotive, at Thomas and Friends Big World Big Adventures' (special and series) America parts, who sings to his passengers especially singing to Thomas, Ace, and Nia at a solo Elvis Presley-style musical number, the Academy, Golden Globe, Grammy Awards, still acting in movies and TV series, and at every donation concerts including the Live-Aid concerts. If you like all of this to happen plus saving Elvis Presley's life, you'll need a time machine for it. #TimeMachine #SaveElvisPresley
This is how all Pharaoh scenes should be done! He gets revealed at the perfect moment too, and the Elvis thing is kept a surprise until the song! I hate versions where Pharaoh is just dressed in an Elvis suit with no Egyptian garb and stays hidden until the song begins, so mundane! My only complaint with this version overall is they should have kept the doubling up of parts, so Robert Torti would have played Levi as well as he had done on stage. Same with the Butler and Baker, we didn't ned celebs as the guys playing the brothers had done those parts in the West End anyway! Same with Attenborough - should have been Potiphar as well!
when i first watched this movie, about 10 years ago, i never thought anything of the pharaoh, but now i watch back i can understand that there is an elvis reference
Want more Joseph content? Look no further: tiny.cc/adgbtz
😀😍
more Joseph
I didn't know that the sphinx eyes moved!!!!
Joseph: I’m not quite sure about the cows. Could you do it for me one more time?
Pharaoh: *sings the corn again*
Read my comment about this!!! Truth tho.

Ooooh, thank you so much!!!! 😍
@@bethanyirene7120 No problem!! :)
Wonder if the line was said wrong and Joseph/Donny was meant to say corn instead of cow
@@lisaholman2019 GOOD POINT
Honestly, the Elvis reference on the Pharaoh is my favorite part of this show
tbh almost every ALW' shows have Elvis. this, cats, and starlight express
Complete with blue suede shoes. :D
its what shaped a lot of my childhood, my dad was a big Elvis fan at the time (or least thats when it became apparent)
What!? I think it’s awesome but then again I’m a bit biased 😂😎
@@irsyadmuflih18 Good point there. In fact, from what I read about Jesus Christ's Superstar's opening in London, Richard O'Brien tried to portray King Herod as an Elvis impersonator as well.

If this is what church was like, I would have wanted to go every day as a child!
I love how Joseph and the narrator interact in this number. It’s a cute touch
I haven't been this early since Christine trusted the Phantom
Shut up, shut up, shut up, oh my god shut up
@@SatansFire Why?
Lol!
@@SatansFire LOL. Who will be the first to say "I see Joseph and I click" or some other cliché?
😂
This was the last musical I saw with my grandfather before his mental health got to bad to go to anymore prior to the pandemic. Will always have a special place in my heart.
what did happened to him?
gby .. and be glad it wasn't Sweeney Todd.. with Len Cariou and Angela.
May his technicolor dreamcoat live forever in your heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
Joseph: Asks for the cow part again
Pharaoh: Sings Corn Verse
Joseph: Guess I'll have to read the Bible over here then hahahhaaha
yep
i esp love it that there was no corn outside the Americas then.. But you can't make a pun of corn w/o corn.
@@flyingtoaster1427 they used to use corn as a generic term for grains. what we call corn now was referred to as Maize for most of it's known history.
@@liskashadowfox7897 in England grain is called corn
@@liskashadowfox7897 except it has no ears
Saw Joseph starring Donnie live in Toronto, completely brilliant!
So did I - twice! And I got Donnie’s autograph after the show.
Elvis Presley would love that that you have been in his home town
In case anyone doesn't get it: Memphis used to be the capital of Egypt, and Elvis' nickname was 'the king'.
Thank you, thank you, very much.
Also, Weber just really liked Elvis. Greaseball in Starlight Express is also an Elvis inspired character.
its paying homage to elvis
Also, it’s just playing into the historical association of the Mississippi with the Nile Being that rock and roll was more or less pioneered by black people living in the South, especially along the Mississippi and Elvis being designated as “The King of Rock and Roll”, the metaphor was ripe for the picking.
I remember that I would watch this musical on repeat, because I just loved this musical. And I never got bored of it, and I am still not bored of it even now.
Are you yet ?
The Pharaoh is my favourite character, if I ever have the chance to play him I would consider my life completed!
the 2022 Harrisburg PA production was so good ! in dance and the Pharaoh dept too!
am going to play as Elvis for the Pharaoh but first thing I need to get Elvis things for this Christmas coming up before Elvis becomes the Pharaoh for tomorrow am writing this song called seven fat cows for my character Elvis as Pharaoh to sing this song but he is performing it in Outside lives
@@jamievincent4829 that's a parody of Elvis .. not Elves ... so do your best w helium.
@@flyingtoaster1427 no thank you for gods sake and don't bring balloons in it and even that is not a parody version of Elvis it is just a guy who looks like him and remember leave my Elvis alone I bet you have got that I bet it did there that got you sorted
Please never delete this, this is my favourite song from this show ❤
I think Elvis is a pharaoh impersonator
My son played this part in school as elvis it brings back so many happy memories. He is now in uni studying media and performance. I really hope he makes it and can tell his pharoa story.
I also played this part in school at 11. I'm 51 now. 😉😹🙀🎤🎙️
that's what am doing like making films and that is media and for performance it is performing arts like acting games and musicals because am in one on this Friday as mad hatter
I loved playing Pharaoh in a production. But Robert owns this so much!!
I’ll never forget when my school put performed Joseph back in my freshman year. Brings back so many memories of being on the stage crew!
This is one of my favorite musicals, it was the first one I every saw (at least that I can remember). Donny and Maria are amazing, and I love the Elvis Pharaoh. It is such a brilliant song. The dancing is great too.
I love joseph musical
I love rock and roll
y saw this in person where ever the telecast was performed in England? ! i thought it was Broadway... they did the 20 year celebration v nice
💜💜 This will always have special meaning to me.... not only was this an amazing musical stage show and Donnie was beyond amazing but it was also the night I became engaged 💍 to my now hubby it was an amazing night and definitely fairytale for me from the beginning of my afternoon all the way till the end of the night ..... just magical 💜💜 🪄 👰♂️ 🤵 🎶 🎼 🎵 💕
sorry. the flag falls in front of the pharaoh
my absolute fave person playing the king ever!
I was going to be in this show but COVID stopped it 😔 this was my favorite song.

Wow the actor playing Pharaoh did an incredible job!
I always get chills when the narrator says “chained and found afraid alone ,Joseph stood before the throne
*bound
Gotta love how Pharaoh is inquisitive enough to know Joseph’s name without the Butler saying it, but misunderstands which part of his dream Joseph needs him to repeat.
That's what I wanted to know, how did the Pharaoh know Joseph's name when the Butler didn't even mention it?
@@JadenYukifan28 Pretty sure in the actual Bible story he mentions Joseph by name but to make it flow better they just left that out
@@samthebagman4643 Good point, it was cool though.
The guy who plays Pharaoh probably has so much fun with the role
Saw Donny Osmond do this show in Hong Kong. Around 1997. Mega mix at the end was fun.
Absolutely the best Pharaoh ever, Robert Torti!
I love that smile the pharaoh gives kinda like a smirk 😏
HIDDEN THINGS IN THIS SONG:
4:28 Joseph/Donny mouths, "okay"

It has been years but I yeah, I kinda miss the music I remember.
The little dance break between Joseph and the narrator is hilarious
I love when he says he's not sure about the cows the pharaoh just glares at him like "excuse me? who do you think you're talking to right now?"
When pharaoh goes: but i dont have a clue…
His face expression is everything
This was and still is my ultimate favorite part of the show. ❤❤❤❤❤
Omg in my school, we’re currently directing this play right now. I finally found the song!
Absolutely brilliant,have just ordered the DVD, Joseph is a brilliant singer.
I love that song! ❤️
As a little kid I loved this movie, and now as an adult I'm shocked my private school let us watch a movie with ladies in fish net dresses and strategically placed glittery crotch triangles...

Funny how the tasteless stuff goes unnoticed by most children, or at least isn't taken in any prurient way.
it took me too long to realize that zach and codys dad wasnt a deadbeat...he was running a kingdom
Linzi Hateley my absolute idol!
Maria Freedman played the Narrator in the 1999 video film
5:20 this always gives me Rum Tum Tugger vibes..
Well Both are based off of Elvis
So glad I'm not the only one who thought that haha
Yeah, Tugger, Pharaoh, and Greaseball all have that shtick. I guess Andrew Lloyd Webber is an Elvis fan hehe
I love when he says, Mr. Pharaoh man, please?
I love when the eyes start rolling on the large head
I used to have this on VHS and later DVD. I also saw the show in Toronto and it was great! I bought the Canadian cast CD recording afterwords.
I’ Have tickets to see the production at the king’s theatre June 15 so excited
Best song in the show

I wanted to be one of those kids SOOO badly when I was little
My childhood dream was to play the narrator
I was in this show when I was 11. I remember everyone wanted to sing this song during the cast party
Show us how they rock and roll in *Eeeeegypt*
This scene is iconic!!!! ❤️
I was like:dang,how big is that stage?!
Also Donny’s abs 🥵

Every theatre kid needs to watch this musical.
It was my first exposure to musicals at age 8
I had the biggest crush on him as a kid in this
5:48 always made me feel a certain way
I had the album by Mixed Bag years ago. Tim Rice was credited as Pharo and did a spot on Elvis impersonation. More songs have been added since then such as Canaan days and Benjamin's calypso.
Tbh I’m not a fan of Canaan days 😅
Wow what a wonderful performance

It's actually not the script, that's the Bible! Joseph's going back to the source material for reference.
@@freyablack4979 But the Book of Genesis wasn't written until centuries _after_ Joseph's story.

Going to see it tonight.

But not the cows

Joseph: (Checks the Bible) Ah yes!
日本で公演予定だったジョセフの再演を待っています。
I’m waiting for Joseph's re-performance, which was scheduled to be performed in Japan.
I'm doing this play at school and I'm auditioning for pharaoh
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Great play !
I enjoyed all ov it
Bravo Robert Torti
"Thank you", Thank you very much"
Blue suede shoes with white socks slays me!!!!
Playing pharaoh in a school play is a moment I will never forget
I can’t decide which song of this musical is my favorite.
This is my best part
I have been to "Essen" three times in athe german version, great
when i first watched this movie, about 10 years ago, i never thought anything of the pharaoh, but now i watch back i can understand that there is an elvis reference
We’re doing the play Joseph and I got the roll Joseph
Best part of the show XD Love Pharaoh (maybe because I love Elvis but... nah, not biased. Totally imparcial XDXD)
Wunderbar! ))
Well, I guess we know who the kids' favourite teacher is.
