It's all quite simple- no doubt they will have a scratch tape of the final dress, like the MET does. The MET actually had to cut to the scratch tape during a live telecast once for technical reasons. The scratch tape usually runs concurrent to the live performance so that things can continue with the flip of a switch. Remember, the current video of the 1957 CINDERELLA is a rehearsal kinoscope, not the actual live performance. These scratch tapes are also used in the production of a subsequent DVD release.

Mary Martin actually sang things lower than Julie Andrews and had a voice more similar to Carrie’s. I am looking forward to this tonight, I wonder if it will have huge ratings.

So you all believe the show is actually going out 'live' ?

Several former colleagues of mine (Disney Television) are working on the broadcast tonight and it is indeed being broadcast 'live.' Just as Saturday Night Live is.

Oh, lord. Must everything have a conspiracy theory?

And I can't imagine that it being LIVE is really that big a selling point to the large majority, so really, what would be the point? Will this be a conversations, ANYWHERE?:

"I have no desire to see this."
"Oh, but don't you know, they will be filming it LIVE!"
"LIVE?! WHAT?! Are you kidding me?! Now I must watch it. And buy the CD AND the DVD, now that I know it's LIVE."

Ain't gonna happen. Either you want to watch it or you don't.

^ Oh, I don't know about that. I hear plenty of people are watching it live to see if there are any blunders.

Unless they have a DVR. Then they can just record the blunders and watch later.
