Favorite Pro Shot Versions of Stage Musicals?

Hi All:

Just re-watched Lincoln Center's program of South Pacific with Kelli O'Hara and Danny Burstein last night and was soooooo grateful this was professionally recorded and preserved. A lot of you are in and around the industry and the issue of recording and selling cast performances has been around a long time.

Is there any movement toward capturing and broadcasting/selling more OBC cast performances?

What are your favorite pro-shot versions of musicals?

Light in the Piazza

And I second Piazza.

Elisabeth.

are there any plans to film the new version of The King and I?

It's not my favorite musical, but I thought the MTV recording of Legally Blonde was pretty great quality!

Into The woods. I'm surprised this one wasn't mentioned.

Anyone have a link to watch Piazza??

I agree about Into the Woods (again, obviously) and Legally Blonde. I didn't think South Pacific translated as well on video.

I'd also like to see Piazza. Does anyone know where it's posted/where I can purchase it?

Surely someone has a link to Piazza or a download?

Into the Woods

Sunday in the Park with George

Sweeney Todd 1982

Company revival with Raul Esparza

Passion

These are all WONDERFUL pro shot versions of Sondheim's musicals and it is such an incredible thing PBS decided to capture these unparalleled performances

As for Into the Woods, I would literally watch that OBC recording in a movie theatre and I'm sure I'm not alone on that.

The Light in the Piazza for me, as well. It's heartbreaking that it seems to have been taken off of YouTube now, that's how I watched it quite a few times and introduced it to friends. I wish there was some easier way to access it.
