There are some choices that don't quite work. I was surprised to see that the Pharaoh, "The King," doesn't have anything reminiscent of Elvis, "The King," in his costuming, hair or makeup.

The joke of the visual-reveal is lost and the impact of the hip-swiveling King doesn't pack enough punch. I also think having the chorus on stage during "Close Every Door" minimizes Joseph's loneliness and despair; and they are costumed like the Grim Reaper, which is puzzling.

Other than that, and a few scattered late entrances, probably due to nerves, Rodgers offers a solid and peppy production of a Utah favorite.

I applaud the theater for picking another show in which so many talented members of the community can participate. Most importantly, everyone on stage seemed to be having a wonderful time, and there is nothing puzzling about that.
