7:53 I never noticed how much young Andrew Lloyd Webber looks like the 1998 Mr. Mistoffelees actor Jacob Brent who now in his late 40s looks an awful lot like current Nikocado Avocado and if I can't unsee this, no one can.
The Joseph movie is just fun. It's staged really well and it knows how entertaining and goofy it is. I haven't seen Superstar in full, but from the bits and pieces I've seen, it looks really good. It's not my favorite version of the show, at least based on the music, but it looks super fun. I really liked the 2000 version. It was pretty goofy and some of the aesthetics are weird, but I like it. I haven't seen Cats and I won't. Phantom is my least favorite musical film. It makes so many foolish decisions, it has goofy direction that doesn't work with the story, the acting ranges from passable yet forgettable to abysmal, and most of the singing is very bad.
The oreiginal Broadway production of JC Superstar preceded the London production, so you were wrong about the song "Could We Start Again, Please" being absent from the London production because it was added for Broadway to give Mary Magdalen something else to do in Act 2. I also like the new song "Then We Are Decided" and wish it was included in more productions. I would want to use it if I were directing the show.
I have an idea in order for Walt Disney Pictures in order to take a break from doing live action remakes and the idea is to release a theactrical big budget hand drawn animated film adaptation of Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with the directors of Aladdin and the little mermaid John Musker and Ron Clements to direct, music by Alan Menken and Andrew Lloyd Webber while tim rice doing lyrics of the songs, And here's my choice list of cast who would be perfect to play the roles in the movie Donny Osmond as Joseph Jodi Benson as the Narrator John Goodman as Jacob Keith David as Potiphar Jessica Espinoza as Mrs. Potiphar Brian Hull as pharroh and judah Nathan Lane as the baker Eric Idle as the butler Jennifer Hale as Asenath Other brothers of Joseph should be played by Tom Kenny, Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen, Nico Roukema, and Brian Hull. What do u think of that please tell me.
Looking ahead...ALW has a TikTok?! I was not the biggest fan of Jesus Christ Superstar, but I did like Evita okay. (Although now I don't know how to feel about it when I compare Evita to Imelda Marcos.) I don't think I ever saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The nicest thing I can say about the Phantom of the Opera film...well, I like to compare it to that high school boyfriend. It was one of my first loves and it made me a fan of the story...but growing up means realizing that Christine was better with Raoul. The less said about the Cats film, the better. I heard it said that in terms of composing, Sondheim is the technician while ALW is the performer. And I honestly have to agree.
Minor corrections from a JCS expert: (*) Elliman is pronounced almost like L-M-N, not "I'll-man." (*) "Could We Start Again Please?" was written for Broadway *and* included in London. Only place it wasn't was the original album. It was suggested for Broadway (the first fully staged production, as much as ALW would hate people to remember that because, shocker, he didn't like that production either; granted, YMMV as to whether he was right that time) by the original director, Frank Corsaro, because the score -- a little less than 90 minutes on the album -- was short by theater standards of the day; indeed, he suggested several more additions, only two of which were adopted by Rice and Lloyd Webber. While Corsaro ultimately did not direct the show, CWSAP was one of the two additions they made, partly to give Yvonne another song in the second half and partly because "Herod's Song" was not deemed to be enough relief from the heavy drama, whiplashing (heh) directly into Judas' suicide as it does. (*) Contrary to ALW's protestations, Norman Jewison fought for his being included in the (sole) Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Score, which he was, and he was indeed credited with orchestrations, Andre Previn's billing being reduced in turn to the nebulous "Music Conducted by" (in other words, Previn scored and conducted everything that wasn't a rock rhythm track, when not farming it out to the uncredited Angela Morley), and what little music didn't originate from ALW frequently used his themes in the process, so I don't know what the hell he's bitching about there. (*) If I may say a word in defense of "Then We Are Decided"... is it the best song, musically speaking? No. But if someone is going to stump for including the Judge's "Johanna" in Sweeney Todd because it particularizes the character, then, aside from not liking it as a song, there's no real reason to object to including "Decided" in JCS since it's there for much the same purpose. Further, I'd argue it works really well on film, in that it makes the transition from "Strange Thing, Mystifying" to "Everything's Alright" into a gradual rising of tensions instead of one long spat between Jesus and Judas, which plays better the original way on stage but might not do so well on film. (And if it was written for the Best New Song Oscar, it sure wasn't nominated.) Now, would I put it in the same spot onstage? No. But that's a rant for another day.
Thank you for reminding me of Raul’s hosting that train wreck of a Sondheim concert. Then you pulled the rug out from under me with that possibility of a Raul!Phantom movie.

I would love to see Walt Disney pictures doing a hand drawn animated movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The PHANTOM of the OPERA. What do you think?
@J'sWatch Well I think it would be unusual on one hand but on the other, it would be very special. In fact here's my list of movie adaptations of Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals that I think should have been on film. Some on the motion picture screen, some according to film history and some live on-stage concert performances: 1 Starlight Express (in 1989 directed by Jim Henson) 2 Aspects of Love (in 1993 - filmed live at the Ben Grriffon Stadium) 3 Cats 9IN 1997 Animated by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment Company) 4 Sunset Boulevard (in 2001 directed by John Landis) 5 Whistle Down the Wind (in 2002 - Filmed live at New York's Radio City Music Hall) 6 The Beautiful game (in 2006 directed by Robert Zemeckis) 7 Whistle Down the Wind (The motion picture version in 2008 directed by Steven Spielberg) Which Andrew Lloyd Webber adaption would you love to see if they were made on film? Please reply back ♥😀♥😀
I grew up singing “Elvita”” from the original Broadway cast album which my parents bought after seeing it on Broadway when I was 4. So I grew up singing Mandy Patinkin, Patti LuPone, and all the other parts. The movie version with Madonna disappointed me as a musical but it was an ok movie. Antonio and Madonna just aren’t Mandy and Patti vocally.
I don’t have nostalgia for the Joseph movie, but I do love the musical 😂. When I was a kid there was a local theatre that would do a production every few years, and I grew up going to see it. I cannot take away the nostalgic love I have for it.
A nice long video about AL Webber musicals, laced with plenty of off-hand shady comments: Yes, Please! Also makes me so happy to be a supporter of this channel :-)
Have you seen the video of Neeley performing Gesthemane (probably spelled that wrong) in ... what was it ... 2017? I mean, for a man who is that much older and his vocal chords thus that much changed ... he still nailed it. And I love every single track in this film soundtrack. EVERY. SINGLE. TRACK. But to hell with the remake (the aughts one AND the John Legend one.) Except for the guy who played the Messiah. I, personally, absolutely love him. And Pilate... although I can't remember the NAME of the song where Jesus is whipped, it SOMEHOW entranced me when it came out. It ALL hurts my ears now, but I did love it at one time
@Musicalsw/cheese Glad to see you talk about Andrew Lloyd Webber musical adaptations on film. But you know I think there are some adaptations that should have been on film. So here's my list of them that I thought up, some cinematic, some according to history and some filmed live on stage: 1 Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (in 1976) 2 Nicholas and Gabriella (featuring The Heart is Slow to learn in 1980) 3 By Jeeves (in 1982 filmed in concert) 4 Starlight Express (in 1989 directed by Jim Henson) 5 The Purple Polecat (featuring the song Amigos Para Seampre in 1992, Directed by Dan Aykroyd) 6 Aspects of Love (filmed in concert in 1995) 7 Cats (in 1997. Animated by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Company) 8 Sunset Boulevard (in 2001, directed by John Landis) 9 Whistle Down the Wind (in 2003, directed by Steven Spielberg) 10 The Beautiful Game (in 2006, filmed in concert) Which Andrew Lloyd Webber adaptation on film would you love to see if they were made? Please reply back.
Am I upping your stats enough? Because now I"m absolutely gloriously happy we didn't get Raul Esparza as Phantom. I'd rather hear Antonio sing "Famtom" constantly. At least he could hit more of the notes. I've only heard Raul sing ONE song I personally liked. "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute". I respect other songs I've heard him do. But I still don't particularly like his singing voice. Acting and reading an audiobook though???? ASTOUNDINGLY AMAZING.
I wish you could've review The PHANTOM of the OPERA 25th anniversary celebration at the Royal Albert Hall, I enjoy it along with the 2004 movie version.
LOL this makes me love the mess of super star more, the movie really is a timecapsule with timeless-ish music I low key do want By Jeeves content, it was released along with the other weekend livestreams and...like the last 30mins was hilarious but the rest was stupidly slow. I want to here you destroy it.
20000's Joseph....icing on the cake is rik mayall, second only to rock god alice cooper's performance and also to jack black's brief number where he does a melody of 'king herod's song' 'flash' and 'wonderboy'. 1998 Cats is still much better than the 2019 one because 1. they actually look like humanoid cats. 2. It's what I call the definite version of the musical, and unlike the 2019 version it gets the characters right so bustopher isn't a walking fat joke unlike his James Corden counterpart. 3. and well it's what i think of what i think of when i hear 'cats'.
I have an idea in order for Walt Disney Pictures in order to take a break from doing live action remakes and the idea is to release a theactrical big budget hand drawn animated film adaptation of Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with the directors of Aladdin and the little mermaid John Musker and Ron Clements to direct, music by Alan Menken and Andrew Lloyd Webber while time rice doing lyrics of the songs, And here's my choice list of cast who would be perfect to play the roles in the movie Donny Osmond as Joseph Jodi Benson as the Narrator John Goodman as Jacob Keith David as Potiphar Jessica Espinoza as Mrs. Potiphar Brian Hull as pharroh and Judah Nathan Lane as the baker Eric Idle as the butler Jennifer Hale as Asenath Other brothers of Joseph should be played by Tom Kenny, Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen, Nico Roukema, and Brian Hull.

I bet cats (2019) makes you feel like taking back about what you said about The PHANTOM of the OPERA (2004) because cars (2019) looks so awful that I'm glad that I did not see it.
How you could put the film version of Cats about Joseph and the tech dream, and Jesus Christ Superstar(2000) is beyond me. I completely disagree with you.
your criteria makes no sense. The stage movie of Cats was exactly the same circumstances as both JCS and Joseph. And if you want to count TV movies, where's Love Never Dies? Talk about a cherry-picking video
The remake of JCS was laughably bad at best and a mean spirited mockery of the original album / show / film at worst. It is a fun watch while high or drunk though. The original JCS film is pretty awesome (with the exception of “then we are decided”) and I grew up on the phantom movie. It was my first exposure to musical theatre, to music that I really loved, and to a story that I could relate to even as a kid. Joseph is kinda camp but not nearly as fun as something like the room or rocky horror picture show. Evita is a great film as well, really love Alan Parker and his other film “the wall” with Pink Floyd. Funnily enough ALW ripped off a Pink Floyd song called “echoes” for phantom of the opera, both kinda being rock songs. and I never really got into Cats the musical despite liking some of the music. The 2019 film is hated by many and deservedly so. Personally I’d say my top 5 are the same 5 as yours but my top three would be 3. Evita 2. Phantom 2004 1. JCS 1973. My dad doesn’t really like musicals with the exception of les miserables and JCS. He enjoys Les Miserables for the music and the barricade scenes. He loves Jesus Christ Superstar because of the three lead performers and even Pilate having the best vocal performances he’s ever heard from anyone. I enjoy it when we find a rock opera or a musical that we can enjoy together and that one in particular is special cause I got to play Judas in a production years ago fulfilling one of my dream roles. Overall I agree with most of your points here. Love the podcast and have been a fan since the OG videos. I love it when you make videos like this, I really enjoy your feedback and you’re a really good commentator.
Rossum is NOT great in this movie at all. Her little girl voice is completely wrong. One wishes that practically ANY actress playing the role in several of the touring productions could have stepped in - or at the very least dubbed her. Plus, this movie is totally stolen by the supporting cast - in particular Minnie Driver as the wonderfully over-the-top Carlotta. What fans like me of the original show weren't to know, was the movie was basically aimed at seven year old girls who love Disney. Crap casting, crap direction and a lousy soundtrack.
It’s an incredible piece of music that actually plays a significant role in the story telling, and 90% of Oscar winning songs can’t lay claim to that. You’re missing the point
I was today years old when I noticed that soldier's tank top had Pilate's picture on it.
Sansel will absolutely be entering my personal lexicon
I will now casually throw "SANSEL" in conversation and nobody will know what I'm talking about
