I heard a lot of people talk about this show in some thread about what you wish you could have seen live. Is there only one famous Broadway version of this story? Is it the Royal Shakespeare Company version available to stream on Broadway HD? Who's the star?

Just wondering if everyone was talking about the same one and how I can see it. Thank you.

You want us to tell you what some anonymous people on some unnamed thread are thinking?  How would we do that?

If you're truly curious about the RSC Production, here's a little magic trick to help you find out...

Magicalmusical, seek out this film adaptation of one of the most magical theatre events of many of our lives.  The video is a bit like looking at it through a keyhole -- there's no way to capture the magic of being in the theatre -- but you'll definitely get what all the fuss was about.

Charles Dickens' novel is a treasure and the RSC did it full justice.

Thank you all. Looks like the Broadway HD version will let me see what I was looking for.
