Admittedly, they're not the greatest shows ever preserved, but the Ovation channel is showing Joseph, Cats, Victor/Victoria, Once Upon A Mattress (Burnett/Ullman) and other musicals for about the next week or so.

Posted: 6/12/10 at 10:59amYup, I was up watching Joseph the other night, and I've set reminders for some of the others. I love this channel. It's like what A&E and Bravo were like 15 years ago before reality TV.

They have other programs this week, too, that are not films:
THE MAKING OF CATS
BEHIND THE MASK: BEHIND THE SCENES WITH THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
BEYOND TOMORROW (ANNIE documentary)
MR. PRINCE (Harold Prince docu-interview)
BROADWAY BABIES (competition program?)
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I have both Mr Prince & Behind The Mask on DVD minus the numerous commercials
Mask is twice the length of Prince but both are worthwhile

Posted: 6/12/10 at 5:53pmA couple of days ago, I turned on the channel when it said that they were showing the "Behind the Mask" phantom documentary, but I was shown what appeared to be the Spanish channel. When I tried watching Jesus Christ Superstar, I was shown a Spanish soap opera. Did anybody else have this problem? I would really like to watch these programs.

Posted: 6/12/10 at 8:21pmTime Warner Cable recently changed their channel lineup this month in multiple regions. Check with your local TWC website to see if the channel shuffle took place in your area...
