I'm going to say the original Into the Woods... it's a bit old but is wonderful...

Fosse I just love the music and dancing in that show.

Putting It Together is great! Plus you get that little extra blooper....which I got to see in person.

oh how luck you were to see PIT live (and especially the blooper)

How about Elain Strich (sp?) at Liberty DVD

Is there a specific site with all the broadway shows released on DVD?

RayofLight...check the listing o DVD here on BWW.com. You'll see the link to the left under Content. It's not exhaustive byu any means. Then go to amazon.com, or footlights.com, for example to see what's available from the extensive inventory.

best place to start is to be able to quantify what exactly interests you. Some film adaptations are superior and authentic productions of what was done on the stage. Don't discount those.

Hope that helps. Cheers, Bulldog.

I'd go for Into The Woods too, and any taped by PBS cause there pretty authentic (i.e. Kiss Me Kate)

Kiss Me Kate is a personal favorite of mine, because the cast is so divine.
Fosse is amazing as well. I love the dancing- that's a true classic and a must for Fosse lovers.
Into The Woods is great. I have the video for that one, though.
And Jekyll and Hyde is a must no matter what. Simply for Colleen Sexton.

-Into the Woods is great
-Jekyll and Hyde awful on DVD and the stage
-Kiss Me Kate is great for Nancy Anderson's performace. That's about it.
-Fosse is a wonderfully filmed for DVD
-Sunday in The Park with George is pricless
-Passion doesn't work on DVD, and probably didn't work in the original production either.
