Hey guys, I posted last fall about when the heck they were going to bring back the Sweeney Todd production with Angela Lansbury and George Hearn. Well, my wish came true and it is coming out in April. I saw this on a rare VHS once and it was absolutely amazing, at least way better than that concert version. Here's the link:

Thank you so much for this news. I've been waiting and waiting for this to be released on DVD. My tape from TV has almost been played to death. Sondheim's masterpiece. What do you know about the Elaine Paige show? Would love to see it.

PJ ; WHY? Is this a competition to see who posts news first? If someone wants to post about something they are excited about then why not? I sometimes hear about something and I can't wait to share it. I don't neccesarily want to go through all the threads on this thing. Bring on the posts, bring on the discussions,..... who makes these stupid rules anyway?

Why? I'll tell ya why. It states what I had already posted about a day or two earlier. Had the poster took the time to look over previous posts they would have seen that there was already one pertaining to this particular topic. That's why. Why do we need 2 posts about the same topic? They could have posted their thoughts and feelings into the other thread. That's why.

Do you really need this board to give yourself that much importance?
