Does anyone have a full video of the Light in the Piazza (e.g. the Live from Lincoln Center one?) I love the soundtrack and can't find a video of the production.


"Look I made a hat... where there never was a hat." "Think of how I adore you, think of how much you love me. If I were perfect for you, wouldn't you tire of me?" "Somebody, crowd me with love. Somebody, force me to care. Somebody, make me come through, I'll always be there, as frightened as you, to help us survive. Being alive. Being alive. Being alive!" "There are worse things than staring at the water as you're posing for a picture after sleeping on the ferry after getting up at seven to come over to an island in the middle of a river half an hour from the city on a Sunday!"

I have the link to a fan-shot video with Kelli. The quality is pretty good for a bootleg. The show is amazing! If anyone out there has the Katie Clarke Live From Lincoln Center, I'd love to have a copy...thanks!

I too would love a copy. Used to be on YouTube but sadly no more.

I should have a copy on an older DVR that I didn't have to return to DirecTV.  But, I don't know how to download it.

Use the composite outputs (yellow for video and red and white for audio) on the DVR unit (or better yet the S-VHS output for better picture quality) that one would normally connect to the TV inputs but instead feed them accordingly to the DVD burner inputs. It's actually very simple to do.

The whole broadcast was on YouTube. Not sure if it still is.

This one I actually have but I'm disappointed in the video quality. 


There was a similar thread on the South Pacific broadcast that I was never able to find a good copy of either.

I'm so sad the PBS broadcast wasn't with Kelli. She was so much better and natural. I thought Katie Clarke's portrayal of Clara was like almost in a cutesy "wheee I have a brain injury I act like a chiiiiild!" manner and was so so off-putting.

I agree with this. Also, Katie Rose Clarke's voice can't compare in any way to Kelli O'Hara's.

I'd like one too. Someone sent me one once but the quality was awful and it was only act two!

The YouTube may have been pro-shot, but I never saw anyone who had an HD capture of this show yet. All SD.

Having been done in 2006 it's likely it wasn't even shot in HD let alone broadcasted.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted. I just don't want the worst quality possible. The one that used to be on YouTube was very nice.

I wasn't really referring to your original post, but haterobics' comment saying all the ones they'd seen were SD.

 

I totally understand you there, the copy I recently saw had to be about 360p.

PBS started broadcasting in HD in 2004, and this was on Live From Lincoln Center, so it seems possible.

 

The copy I saw circulating was 288p.

I never knew! I believe all the stations caught up to the HD game at different paces.

 

That 288p copy is probably the one I saw.

South Pacific was in HD. I didn't see it when it was broadcast, but the one that was on YouTube was HD. Hoping someone will find this thread and magically have a copy of both. :)
