Thanks, Kringas.

My assistant Stacey is on the phone as we speak.

Once an official confirmation on a possible 'filming' is confirmed, I'll make sure to post MY official confirmation.

That was a really nice note from Michael Korie

And its good to hear the news about a possible recording from someone actually apart of the show

Wow, this is getting me too excited. First COMPANY, and now maybe GREY GARDENS? Sounds a little too good to be true :)

You better believe if this happens I am going to P.A. again!

Well if we're talking about Great Performances, this is by far the best performance of the season or the last couple of seasons - at least according to reviews and such. It should be filmed.

I really hope this happens, but as others have said it seems a little too good to be true! I hope to hear more definite news about this soon!

Thist must be done. Almost every legendary performance has been taped in some way. What I mean by taped is legally and not for the Lincoln Center Library, but for a PBS airing. Of course, Great Performances didn't exist for Merman in Gypsy or Gwen in Sweet Charity, but Angela Lansbury was taped doing Sweeney Todd on tour, Stritch was taped doing At Liberty, Victoria Clark was taped doing Piazza. Ebersole and Wilson must get the same treatment. (And of course, a DVD release. It's unfortunate Ms. Clark's stunning Margaret Johnson is not available to the general public on DVD. Thankfully I taped it that evening.)

look at the fight that was put up to record The Boy From Oz- that went nowhere but this is different. This is a classic peice of theatre. Why is it so hard to get this done, who's stopping it?

wow. this and company on dvd.
now if we can get 110 to record their show, that would be great.

I have to say the horrible news about the closing of the only 2 shows that I actually told people they must see have both announced closing dates and 1 of them now is closed (Grey Gardens/Company). Completly horrible that these two didn't catch on. Raul and Christine were brilliant, and the best performances I have ever seen. At least PBS understands our pain.

Well, as of 1:35pm EST, a source at the East of Doheny offices still hasn't heard anything about any negotiations regarding having GREY GARDENS filmed before it closes.

Will keep you posted as we get more info.

Keeping our finger's crossed.

Oh, by all means...don't thank me -- thank Stacey. She's the one doing all this work while still trying to learn to maneuver that new iPhone I got her.

I'm just the messenger.

Kringas...you rock my world. Would you be kind enough to remind us about the DVDs that were shot almost broadcast style that just about everyone has.
WonderfulWizard, is it really your birthday?

What's stopping it? It usually comes down to money... where is Great Performances in their budget season, what did they already have planned, what are the costs going to be? They usually plan pretty far in advance, so while I hope this comes together, having 2 Broadway shows preserved for broadcast/DVD in such a short time would be fairly impressive.

Hey, quit jabbing -- those who can have them, do.

Great to be able to see everything and anything I want, when I want.

Thanks to these I was able to watch this past weekend a black & white archive of the original Broadway cast of OVER HERE! -- filmed at the Shubert Theatre in 1974! Yup...Reinking, Henner, Travolta, Mineo, Mineo, Williams along with Patty and Maxine Andrews.

To those who keep sending me PMs:

I do not now, have never had and do not anticipate ever owning the bootleg of Grey Gardens. I apologize for any confusion that I may have caused. BrodyFosse123 is your one stop shop for all your bootlegging needs. Please contact him directly or call Stacey on her iPhone. Thank you.

Kringas, could you PM me Stacey's number?

[Kringas]
