We're taping this while we move. We own the DVD of the show itself and it is incomparable. When I saw it live on Valentines day the year it played - it blew me away how amazing she is!

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

If you have the DVD of the show you should know that this is different. Backstage interviews, archival footage and photos. I am under the impression this is more of a documentary with scenes from the show interspersed. It should be an invaluable compliment to the DVD. So don't write this off, even if you have seen the show.

PEACE.

Exactly. The show on HBO is only 2 hours, At Liberty was nearly 3 hours long, so Suleen is spot on the money. It's a documentary with clips of At Liberty.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

And I think it's made by the same folks who made the documentary of Company's OBC recording sessions. I'm definitely watching this. :)

It is by the same guys who did Company. There was a pretty funny articla on Playbill.com, not sure of the link though, where they talk about working with the great Stritch. I love the dvd, can't wait to see behind the scenes.

Sueleen - yes - I knew that but was just mentioning that we already own the DVD - we're looking forward to all the little extras thrown in - I am a HUGE Stritch fan, now that I'm more familiar with her body of work.

broadwayguy2 - its totally worth every penny - its like a master class in the art of captivating an audience and holding them in the palm of your hand for 2+ hours...really awesome.

And immediately following, at least here in the Mid-west, you can listen to Marc Shaiman's delightful score for DOWN WITH LOVE. Ah, what a dreamy Saturday night!

PEACE.
