 The complete score of an older version June 18, 2007
Many people have complained that this book is not the complete score. It is not the complete score of the version that is now licensed. This is the COMPLETE vocal score of the 1973 studio album: http://www.amazon.com/Joseph-Amazing-Technicolor-Dreamcoat-London/dp/B000002NWN/ref=pd_bbs_sr_9/105-1926707-3902004?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1182184470&sr=8-9
If you are absolutely in love with the newer versions of the show, Pharaoh's Story can be reworked to be the Prologue and Any Dream Will Do can be copied and pasted to the beginning, and little alterations will be needed here and there. There are some different lyrics, some different musical passages, and some of the songs are in different keys. A girl trying to sing the Narrator part as this book has it written may have a lot of trouble as the Narrator was sung by a man on that 1973 album. Personally, I think this book is fantastic, and especially at such a low price compared to most vocal scores. It's a real bargain. My advice would be to get this book and the matching recording - both are great.

This is a great score. All the songs are included (with the exception of the Prologue, but as other reviewers have stated, this is the same music as "Pharoah's Story", which is included in the book). The different voice parts are included, and all of the harmonies.
Surprisingly, the book itself is much smaller than I had expected. It is not the size of a normal piano book, and the music itself is smaller than I would have liked. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth buying.

The book was just what we wanted-music and words with piano accompaniment. They came in excellent condition and we felt the price was fair. The shipment came quickly and everything was well packaged.
 Great Product! August 29, 2006
this was so helpful in teaching the kids the song "Any dream will do." they were able to see how the works broke down to the music and our program was a great success.

This book is a great book to buy, whether for your own personal collection or for auditions...I bought it for an audition and it worked wonderfully!
To those who say that this book is not complete, I humbly suggest they change the words to "Pharoh's Story" to creat the "Prologue" and also, not all versions of the show featured the "Any Dream Will Do" at the beginning. Some shows only did it at the end...but it's still the same song (minus the narrator's part)
This is a great book and I'm really happy with my purchase!
