Mr. Roxy, Crazy for You appeared on PBS. I'm not sure if they ever did a public release of it, but you could find someone with a copy of it.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I have it on tape but would like it on DVD

To Wiggum 2 - You mentioned Superman - Did you see the original production ? Do you have the TV version & if so, how bad is it ?

I would do anything to have the Broadway revival of Rocky Horror Show available on DVD. Same with Tick Tick Boom and Rent.

Mr. Roxy,

I have not seen any of the shows I listed. I wasn't born for all of them except I was in junior high for Carrie. They are just a wish list of shows I could see.

Of course I would like EVERY show on DVD, but here is a Top 10:

10) MAMMA MIA!

9) LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

8 ) SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL (Tour with Cathy Rigby)

7) 42nd STREET

6) RAGTIME

5) HAIRSPRAY

4) WICKED

3) THE PRODUCERS (Lane & Broderick)

2) URINETOWN THE MUSICAL

1) AIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (with OBC)
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

POTO, Thoroughly Modern Millie, RENT, tick...tick.. BOOM!, Sweeney Todd (OBC), Little Shop, Guys and Dolls (OBC), and so many more! If I think of anymore, I'll post them.

The other day in Theatre class we watched Crazy For You (PBS) and it was wonderful. I think my teacher just taped it off the television, but it was a really great production.
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."
