What Broadway shows do you have on DVD or even on VHS? (I have a machine that can play both. No, not at the same time.)
I have Company (the revival -- I would LOVE to have the original!) and Cats (London, with Elaine Paige), as well as the movie versions of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Fantasticks, Hello, Dolly, The Producers (the musical), A Chorus Line, Man of LaMancha, Grease, and Dreamgirls.
I also have the Andrew Lloyd Weber Royal Albert Hall Celebration and the movie musicals Doctor Dolittle and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the 1971 movie with the Newley-Bricusse score.)
I also own several Marx Brothers movies. Since The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers were done on Broaday before being put on film (in fact, the Marxes were doing Animal Crackers on Broadway while filming The Cocoanuts at a soundstage in Queens) and they had enough songs to be cosidered musicals, I guess you can consider those part of the list of Broadway musicals I have.
I'd love to get more. Does anyone know how to get hold of more musicals, especially hard-to-find ones?

VCRs = Video Cassette Recorders
I think you meant VHS tape, Timmer.

Posted: 7/23/08 at 2:52pmI wish I could get a copy of Tanz Der Vampire & Jerry Springer: The Opera but the problem is that they are not available on US DVD and I cannot find anyone who has them transfered so I can watch them from my big screen.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

For about the same price as a region 1 dvd player, you can get a region 2 dvd player. It's well worth the investment since more European shows tend to get a dvd.
