SummaryVery poor sound quality for Joseph
Content
We've watched Joseph a few times and it is visually captivating however the sound quality is awful. We have surround sound and even at full volume (maxed!) it's too low and is difficult to hear some of the singing. Then othertimes it's too loud. It's not me or my system; otherwise they work fine. The sound quality on this (as on Les Miserables Dreamcast 10th anniversary DVD) is a big dissapointment. Be ready to max your volume.

SummaryNo Documentation
Content
I am very disappointed in the packaging and the lack of documentation. They should have included the track listings and any documentation that has been included in the individual DVD packaging. I was especially disappointed that on the Royal Albert Hall performances where there is no listing of the songs, which show they are from and who is performing them. I was hoping to find a track listing here at Amazon but I have not found one yet.

SummaryMust-have for ALW fans
Content
My two pence worth:

CATS: not my favorite ALW musical but I found this version enjoyable for its superior cast. God's not fair--to some he gives both singing AND dancing talent. Loads of such double talent in this production.

SUPERSTAR: interesting, updated production, fabulous voices. Shorn of its 60s/70s hippie trappings, it effectively re-engages you in the message of the lyrics.

JOSEPH: at first I thought--Donny Osmond, UGH! YUCK!--but he's surprisingly appealing in this production.

ROYAL ALBERT CELEBRATION: my only peeves (and reason for 4 instead of 5 stars) are 1) the total absence of Michael Crawford (Music of the Night is sung competently but not brilliantly by Antonio Banderas) and 2) a few too many titles from ALW's least successful work, Whistle Down the Wind.
