However, after experiencing this show, I can say it is all of that and so much more.

Joseph is simply spectacular inspirational entertainment

Simply put, many who have seen Sight and Sound Theatre's Joseph have the same feelings about the show as did Arlan A, who, along with his wife, attended the show with us recently. He described Joseph as an "Entertaining, spectacular and inspirational production that he recommends highly." In fact, everyone whom this writer has talked to, who has seen the show since its April Branson Premier has loved it with, as impossible as it seems, many saying they enjoyed it more than "Noah The Musical." That's saying a lot!
