I understand that VAI Video is going to put out both live productions of PETER PAN. Has anyone any more information about this future release?

So, I [edit: not myself (CapnHook), but a friend] contacted VAI...
Their reply: "The producer is talking to the relevant unions. So, cross your fingers."
While NBC sits on the 1960 videotaped production of PETER PAN and fairy dust fills the empty shelves, here is news abrewing about the two other kinescopes of the 1955 and 1956 live productions.
VAI, which recently released the condensed FORD 50th ANNIVERSARY SHOW featuring performances by Ethel Merman and Mary Martin including their history-making duet, is investigating releasing these two alternate live-on-film performances of Mary Martin in PETER PAN.
One would hope that NBC would work with VAI (or anyone) to included ALL these performances in ONE deluxe boxed set commemorating the 50th Anniversary of that first historic television broadcast.

"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."
