Is anyone going to see the concert tonight? I remember seeing it a few years ago at the museum of radio and television (now the Paley center). The plot can be a bit silly at times, but it contains two of my favorite Sondheim songs, both of which are heartbreaking.

I'd love to hear what anyone who gets a chance to see it has to say.

Ohh, I didn't know it was a gala/fundraiser! According to playbill.com, the cheapest tickets are $275 which is pretty steep.


Oh well. Any super rich people on here going?

The dvd is incredible! Anthony Perkins is so appealing, and Charmian Carr so fragile. What a pity that no color prints survived, although the b&w version is appropriately spooky. Watched this twice last night, and have "Take Me to the World" running through my head.

I watched the first half but then wanted to check out the features so I listened to most of Charmian Carr's intereview. What an amazing release. Did anyone else catch the mention that this is a test to see how TV musicals will sell on DVD? I'm curious what else E1 has access to...

Evening Primrose was originally in color? I don't think I knew that. I like the B&W.

The cheapest seats may have been 750, but it most definitely was on TDF, for most of the week prior. I really regret not going! I did order the dvd though am very excited to see it in any form.
