if anyone's going by the stage door tonight or anytime soon, can someone ask the actors and get back to us?
this sounds too good to hope for, i'm hoping for an official announcement as well... it's going to be devastating if I believe it and it turns out it was heresay.
it's not going to be quite the same as watching raul sing "being alive" from the front row, but definitely better than nothing!!

Posted: 6/27/07 at 6:54pmYes! I've got tickets for Saturday Matinee. The aura of my presence shall be permanantly recorded. If it happened, I was there!
Yes.#27
Posted: 6/27/07 at 6:55pmGod I hope this comes through... I never got the chance to see it so this would make me a *very* happy girl :)

The best part is that the naysayers and the fans will have an actual document to validate or undermine their opinions. As much as we all talk about what the performance was like the night we saw it, there have always been bi-polar disagreements about directorial or performance decisions. The taping should represent a common ground that can be examined and addressed on its own merits.
I think the "fans" will be vindicated

"I wish they could air it live, like the Lincoln Center shows.
I just hope they don't wait months to air it.
Granted this all happend. "
Seriously? If it takes months that means they'll release it on DVD. If it's live all we'll have are DVDs from TiVos that don't look as good.

Posted: 6/27/07 at 7:54pm^ Well that's true. I was thinking air it live AND release a DVD. But you do have a point!

"^ Well that's true. I was thinking air it live AND release a DVD. But you do have a point!"
FYI things that are aired live don't get released on DVD. It's a shame but it's just how it works. If something is to be released for life, they'll go back and fix mistakes which they can't do with live broadcasts. There are so many GREAT things out there that were broadcast that will never be released on DVD because of mistakes.

Posted: 6/27/07 at 8:26pmWell, if its aired on TV, at least it can be recorded in somewhat decent quality. I'm just really hoping that this show gets the kind of preservation it deserves, other than the Lincoln Center archives

sondhead, I know. I didn't explain myself very well in that last post (I'm still sad bc I missed my train to the city tonight, hehe).
I know how beautiful the Lincoln Center Archives are. I am a librarian in training, after all 
What I meant was that I really want there to be a video version of the show for preservation purposes, but also for the purpose of distribution and sharing among fans who maybe haven't seen the show, or just love it and want to have their own copy

In the past, when PBS filmed and released Broadway shows or theatrical performances as part of the 'Great Performances' series, the air date was a few months following the taping.
I've always assumed this was because if they aren't going to air it live, then they might as well take the time to make an edit they are happy with.
(Then again, 'Fosse' was re-edited for the DVD - but all for the better.)
It does seem strange that they could be filming in a matter of days and no announcement has been made. You would think preparation for a 2pm Saturday filming would require at least some contracts to have been signed.
BUT I don't care, announcement yet or not - I just hope it happens...
