Sandy, thanks to you and your thread, I've had this song in my haid for days and daze now:

Jacob

Joseph's mother, she was quite my favourite wife
I never really loved another all my life
And Joseph was my joy because
He reminded me of her
Narrator

Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again
Loved him, praised him, gave him all he could, but then
It made the rest feel second best
And even if they were -
Brothers

Being told we're also-rans
Does not makes us Joseph fans
Narrator

But where they had really missed the boat is
Brothers

We're great guys but no-one seems to notice
Narrator

Joseph's charm and winning smile
Failed to slay them in the aisle
And his father couldn't see the danger
He could not imagine any danger
He just saw in Joseph all his dreams come true
Jacob wanted to show the world he loved his son
To make it clear that Joseph was the special one
So Jacob bought his son a coat
A multi-coloured coat to wear

Brothers and Female Ensemble

Joseph's coat was elegant,
The cut was fine
The tasteful style was the
Ultimate in good design
And this is why it caught the eye
A king would stop and stare
Narrator

And when Joseph tried it on
He knew his sheepskin days were gone
Narrator & Female Ensemble & Children

Such a dazzling coat of many colours
How he loved his coat of many coloures
Narrator

In a class above the rest
It even went well with his vest
Such a stunning coat of many colours
How he loved his coat of many colours
It was red and yellow and green and
Brown and blue
Joseph's brothers weren't
Too pleased with what they saw

Brothers

We have never liked him
All that much before
And now this coat
Has got our goat
We feel life is unfair
Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children

And whe Joseph graced the scene
His brothers turned a shade of green
His astounding clothing took the biscuit
Brothers

Quite the smoothest person in the district
Joseph & Female Ensemlbe

I look handsome, I look smart
I am walking work of art
Such a dazzling coat of colours
How I love my coat of many colours
Narrator, Joseph, Ensemble & Children

It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And red and yellow and green and brown and
Scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And blue

I do fairly good with the lyrics ... until it gets to naming all those colors! I sang MY version to my daughter yesterday. She laughed. We both love this play!

We were going to see Footloose with one of my husband's co-workers but at the last minute my dh had to go out of town. Soon after he came back, that guy & his wife, took us to see Dirty Rotton Scondrels. It was really good.

Footloose sounds like lots of fun. I saw Moving Out several years ago when it first was on its trial run in Chicago. I loved Wicked -- saw it up on Chicago about 3 years ago. I really want to see Jersey Boys.

Footloose was a great musical. The first half was bleh, the second half blew the roof off the place! We're really looking forward to Moving Out. The Paramount Theatre is a great place stuck in the 70's with wallpaper and shiny stuff all over the walls.

There were serious moments like when they had to let go of the past and focus on moving on. The church scenes were amazing and the dancing was out of control. The acting was great!

Here's a pic of Jim and I before we went in.



Sweet Jim.



Willard learns to dance!!!



Prom!! Parents and townsfolk enjoying it too.



Finale, confetti everywhere.

thanks for sharing the photos Sandy....It sounds like ful

Great pic of you and Jim and of Mr. Hotstuff alone!!! Now, if only Kevin Bacon was there. *sigh* Glad you had a great time; you both deserved a great night out.

Didn't Kevin Bacon meet his maker down in Belize on Kay's farm???

Shows how warped I am that I think of THAT Kevin Bacon first rather than the one that is relevant to Footloose. Many degrees of separation between the two, I am sure.

Moving Out was amazing and I encourage everyone to go see it if it comes near you! We were tapping our feet and singing to it all. It is pure musical. The actors never said a word. They had a real band up above that resembled Billy Joel and the dancers did their thing to the lyrics. AMAZING! You know it's good if you find yourself getting emotional. I had a minor tear fest right before intermission. The story has a military storyline to it and it's pretty intense. Totally unexpected. The lighting was amazing as well and it was choreographed so well that you felt you were a part of the show. The war scenes made you feel like you were in the trenches with them. The group of friends takes you back to simpler days when life was all about your friends and first love. *sigh*

We didn't get pics because they were not allowed at all. Just trust me, it was amazing! We bought raffle tickets to win tickets to Billy Joel and Elton John at Wrigley Field. The drawing is tonight! Wish us luck.

To top off the day we ran into an old friend from way back. We haven't seen our friend Jim in about 24 years. He lives right down the road from us! How cool is that? Jim and Jim were best of friends. My best friend was dating Jim (our friend) when I dated my Jim. Her name was Candy, me Sandy. LOL

Glad you had a good time. I did not want to tell you that the actors did not speak and it had a rather loose storyline.

Yea, you definately had to keep up with the lyrics to understand what was going on. The actors did a great job helping us understand what was what. I did find myself fixated on the band at times and lost where the musical was at.
