"...That's the strength of "Joseph," of course - those joyful, appealing pop songs that are so silly you can practically still hear the young Lloyd Webber and his lyricist pal Tim Rice cackling at the piano. But this show doesn't really have fun with the corny tunes. The country twang of "One More Angel in Heaven" gets some lively leapin' and stompin' choreography for Joseph's 11 brothers by Wendy Seyb, but the joke of the number never lands."

"... the dynamic musical direction is all there, courtesy of Christopher Youstra and his five-piece band, which mostly produces a muffled sound upstage. And that unfortunate design work, which also results in a horrible blending of body mics, is "Joseph's" gravest misstep. What good is golden music direction when the sound quality is so poor? In an evening that focuses on a timeless fable about the power of forgiveness, the only redeeming factor in Hilder's revival is its irrepressible musical flair."

For a feel-good night with family values abounding, Webber’s first work and this Olney production got the recipe in many ways just right. Director and designer worked hand in hand to deliver a show that consciously maintains throughout the fun and even the clumsiness of a community endeavor.
