Posted: 12/5/06 at 7:07pmI'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but my English class recently watched the Paul Newman revival of Our Town. It's filmed on the stage but it's like Oklahoma as in it wasn't live. I believe it was on PBS originally.

Posted: 12/5/06 at 7:28pmI never saw Passion live, but the DVD is shot with multiple cameras and some lighting changes, and it's beautiful. I know in the opening scene Mazzie's blocking was slightly changed so as not to expose her breasts on film. Anyone know about other changes?

Posted: 1/31/07 at 10:38pmdoes anyone know if there's any more information regarding Movin' Out being on PBS? Originally in the press release it talked about a winter or spring showing. I can't seem to find anything else about it.

"Someone mentioned CATS, which wasn't taped on stage (it was a set built for the video)"
Actually CATS was filmed on a stage in London's West End. I can't remember which one, but I remember reading it at the time. It was not wherever Cats was playing at the time and thus was a separate set built for the filming, but it was not in a movie studio.

Posted: 1/31/07 at 11:38pmNot commercially released, but available for viewing at the Museum of Television and Radio are the T.V. versions of WONDERFUL TOWN with Rosalind Russell and ANNIE GET YOUR GUN with Mary Martin. They are fabulous, particularly Roz.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

The Man Who Came to Dinner with Nathan Lane is also available.
The Broadway Theater Archive is available on the Kultur video website.
And there's a great documentary, Moon Over Broadway, by D.A. Pennebaker about the broadway production of Moon Over Buffalo that's pretty interesting.
I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!

I know of Our Town with Paul Newman, as well as Cabaret, although that one is a bit tricky to get because I've only seen it while working at a theatre. It's sort of staged for TV, in a sense, because there's commercial breaks and such -- but it's very good, Alan Cumming and Jane Horrocks are the stars, respectively. You may be shocked by Jane, but she is a rather interesting Sally if I don't say so myself. I mean, her performance is interesting [we all know how static the character may be].
