There's always a first. Bette needs an Oscar.

''I was told that only the Dancing sequence featuring CS was filmed for inclusion with the archive. Not a entire Bernadette performance.''
You've been given some bum information. Theatre on Film and Tape shot Bernadette Peters' whole show, which includes Charlie Stemp, and the director of TOFT has confirmed this.

Kudos with the unnecessary name dropping on BWW. But as far as the cast is concerned only the new choreography was filmed with one single camera.

Yes! Let’s hope the London transfer and potential commercial release are true so that we can all enjoy forever . A archive recording does nothing for me. I love your posts Dollypop. I hope they continue.

Just plan on seeing the tour and a fun trip to Europe if the transfer occurs . Be happy this joy will continue being spread.

''Unnecessary name dropping''? As a journalist, I double-checked with Patrick Hoffman, the director of TOFT, to see what the facts were. And since he authorized and oversaw the taping, he confirmed that Bernadette's entire performance was filmed, not just the ''Dancing'' sequence. (And that was corroborated by BwayJudd's post in this same thread, ''per a cast member.'' )

Oh, I meant to silly to argue against both performances being taped! I’m also a huge fan of the show and saw all three Dolly’s multiple times!

That is nice. I do love how you say it was corroborated by BwayJudd. Well if he says it is true..LOL. No insult meant. Just that he is just a newish person around here. And that is cool that your a journalist. I have met lots of cool people here on BWW. Many well known theater professionals, some composers, even a well regarded music producer. An tons of great fans with very cool jobs and lives. Most of them have no need to toot their own horn to bring validity to the chit chat. And I agree with the statement that a archived recording is nice.. but of no use to me. Thank god for the wonderful unofficial archives that are out there. I love Hello , Dolly! I love Bette! Bernadette is a treasure and Donna is sublime. Everyone happy? Have a nice weekend everyone!
