Mr. Saturday Night — Page 5

It’s quite possible! I saw on Instagram there were some cameras there last week and it seemed a bit more involved than for the Lincoln Center archives.

I also want to sing the praises of this show for a moment. I attended the closing, and it was my second time seeing the show. The amount of laughter and joy that came from the stage was impeccable. Billy Crystal gave it his all, and I really enjoyed the music, book, and overall production. Paymer, Bean, Graff, Harmon, all gave lovely and layered performances, in addition to Jordan Gelber, Brian Gonzales, and Mylinda Hull who all led the ensemble in such a compelling and funny way, and were so hard working!


Shoshana Bean nearly broke by the end of the show, and the emotion between her and Billy Crystal in their final scenes was tremendous. Such a great curtain speech from Billy and the writers and director! This was definitely an underrated treat, and a show that I wish had a longer life on Broadway. It absolutely was one of the more superior film to Broadway adaptations we’ve seen in a long time. Hats off to everyone involved with this!

I saw it twice on TDF and it was almost always available on TKTS. I don’t believe the price was the issue. I think the show is geared to an older audience and that crowd has not fully returned to live theater.

Michael Walters3 said: "The stage manager is a friend of mine. He said that the show was filmed for Broadway HD."

And now it's official:

Looking forward to catching this proshot and revisiting this piece.

Catalano must be in heaven right now.

I appreciate the new trend of doing ProShots for big Broadway musicals, but I'm a little annoyed that so many of them have been relegated to streaming services. The only one I can think of that had an actual physical media release was The SpongeBob Musical (and Shrek, I guess, if you want to go back a little further).

I’m beyond thrilled this is going to be streaming! I was hoping there would be a pro shot since it was not going to have a life beyond Billy so why not make some money on streaming if you aren’t going to tour or license. Cannot wait to see it.

That was fast. Yet a year later we're still waiting for Waitress, Jersey Boys, and I feel like some others I'm forgetting.

The proshot is now streaming… who’s watching?
