Well, 'oot the windae'='out the window' is used in my neck of the perfectly respectable Scottish woods!
i've just been listening to recordings of old Joseph productions. There's Jason Donovan who, to my mind still holds the crown as it suited his acting talents and vocal abilities to a tee. Then there was Paul Jones..mmm, not so sure of that one; and finally Phil Schofield's...again , nice bloke but not a patch on Jason. Oddly, schmaltzy though it sound, I found the numbers truly moving this time, mainly because I kept thinking this role SHOULD be Daniel's. I know he has lots of champions but some seem to think he'd be just as good in another role and maybe, just maybe, Joseph wouldn't be the ideal one for him. I have NEVER thought that. I still believe Joseph and he go hand in glove and as Joseph he'd absolutely triumph as the best in the role, ever. Aw, give us Daniel, Sir A, we're begging you, otherwise whenever we hear a production of it, there'll be the additional element of wistful regret lingering there!
And even if it isn't the most critically acclaimed of ALW's compositions, I find it one of my personal favourites.
