If your computer has USB 2.0 controllers onboard/installed, we recommend connecting your Epson product to a USB 2.0 port to take advantage of faster data transfer speeds. USB 2.0 Hi-Speed ports are often indicated by a sticker on the PC casing. Otherwise please refer to your computer manufacturer's documentation for further help.
Windows XP SP1 does not have USB 2.0 support by default. Windows XP SP2 and later has USB 2.0 support by default. If your computer has USB 2.0 controllers onboard/installed, you will have to manually install the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed drivers via Device Manager, starting with the USB host controller.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. The classic Bible story (with some literary license thrown in) of Joseph, the son of Jacob, and Joseph’s eleven brothers, who did not get along. Joseph has these dreams in which he becomes the ruler over his brothers, which does not go over well. The brothers end up sending Joseph packing to Egypt as a slave, and after a heartfelt story including a goat and a jamboree go on with their lives. In Egypt Joseph begins his rise to fame in the household of Potiphar until his wife becomes a little too “hands on” and Joseph finds himself in jail. Joseph’s penchant for dream interpretation comes in handy and eventually finds himself as Pharaoh’s right hand man during the worst famine Egypt has ever seen. The brothers come to Egypt to beg food, not recognizing brother Joseph who does however, recognize them. After some tense moments (and a calypso song) Joseph’s identity is revealed, Benjamin is set free, Jacob comes to Egypt and everyone lives happily ever after.
MCP’s Joseph was a really fun, upbeat lively production with lots of energy and dancing at the Alden Theatre.
A stellar performance was delivered by Joseph, played by Russell Silber. While perhaps not always the strongest voice, Silber made up for it with his involvement with the action going on around him and the compassion clear on his face during his solo songs. The Narrator, Kate Merryman, started out a bit stiff, but she did thaw somewhat in the second act and her amazing voice could be heard loud and clear. Other than with the school children at the top of the show, she never really interacted with the rest of the cast and seemed to disappear when she was not needed.
And no telling of Joseph‘s story is complete with out a Pharaoh with an Elvis Presley haircut. Paul Caffey as Pharaoh gave a superb performance. Even hamming it up to the audience here and there as he sang and swiveled those hips kept everything light and lively. All of the brothers, while rarely together, still managed to portray a lot of enthusiasm and energy. The Apache dancer duo of Elizabeth Gillespie and Chris Dore performed their dance routine pretty smoothly.
The live orchestra, conducted by John Edwards Niles, helped keep the tempo up and the action moving. The use of lighting by Designer Lynne Glikbarg was smoothly done and was timed to the music well, although there was a missed opportunity during “Joseph’s Coat” when the backdrop didn’t match the colors mentioned in the song.
A great show for the whole family. Be aware that two of three performances opening weekend were sold out, so make your ticket reservations soon so you won’t be disappointed. The Sunday matinée was made even more exciting by the fire alarm going off and the theater being evacuated while the fire department came to investigate. After about half an hour and a second alarm we trooped back into the theatre and continued with the second act as if nothing had happened. Ah, the joy of live theatre!
