According to WNET’s site, it’s airing on Great Performances this summer.
On a side note, Idina Menzel’s episode of Soundstage (with Groban as a guest) is airing on PBS this weekend.

Just curious, doesn't this concert have a different book than the US concert performed with a similar cast? I thought I remembered the songs being in a different order.

I'm hoping for a blu-ray release too, was disappointed Cyrano was only put out on DVD.

It's sad, when I have no prospects of seeing shows any time soon, that I'm actually pretty excited to see this.

Yes, it's based much more on the London book for the show (with Someone Else's Story added in and some other songs cut), while the Actor's Fund concert in the US was based more on the Broadway version. Lots of things are different, from the song order to the outcome of the final match.

It's the music that matters most anyway. It's always been a great score in search of a decent book.

They set a broadcasting date ???? That's great news, so if it airs in June, we can hope for an August DVD (and hopefully Blu-ray) release, right ???

Thanks! They should give us a date already.
kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.
