The Broadway cast was never filmed for a DVD. However, it appears Hugh Jackman will be performing it in Australia next summer, so who knows? I'd love to get that on DVD.

Yeah he is . Im from Australia and i heard that he is playing it in one of our arenas - BIG HUGE PRODUCTION! Ill Be There!!!! Being in Australia it will go CRAZY. I saw the broadway show and the Australian version and they were both very different.

I thought about going on a plane to Austrailia to see Hugh Jackman in it again... then I realized, I probably wouldn't even get tickets

I'm sure they recorded it for the archives, so someone somewhere has a recording of it... and there had been rumors afloat that they were going to actually sell a DVD recording of TBFO, but we have yet to see that happen.

Hey Korenglish, you proberly could get yourself some tickets, since more likely then not they will be sold online. Of course the question is whether you want to fork over the money for the airfare. LOL.

As for me, as much as I want to see it, I am iffy about the entire Arena concept as most shows which have previously been done in as an Arena show have been majorly dumbed down.

I know what you mean, but i think that if you have a show like Boy From Oz and have it played in Oz with a crowd full of Aussies it would be an amazing atmosphere im sure. Just have to wonder how much the tickets are going to go for and if they will change the stage set up and include perhaps a catwalk or even perform it in the rounds even.

I think it will definately be an amazing feel. Of course knowning ones luck, I'd be sitting between two middle age housewives who will sing along to every effing word. Eh. At least I have Spelling Bee to look forward to next year at the MTC.
