>So... Is it too soon to see/hope if this means we'll have any similar releases for other Broadway shows?
Pacific Overtures!! Please!! But yes, I think it is absolutely too soon.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

"accompanied by a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtrack."
That's referring to the audio track on the DVD.

To be precise. it's referring to the audio track on the Blu-ray ! Plain DVDs don't carry TrueHD !
Oh and congratulations to Brody and NGD who shared that info two weeks ago and were right even up to the date of the release announcement, even if they were questioned by some ignorant new members !

I wouldn't take this as a sign that other shows will release their final performance on DVD.

Posted: 11/25/08 at 10:55amWould Spring Awakening do that?

With so many shows posting closing dates I hope Sony sees this is an opportunity to include them in their HotTicket series line up.
I am not a big fan of Spring Awakening personally but I think it would be great to record this Tony Award winning show if not for posterity.
Also, with a recognizable title I think Young Frankenstien would not only attract young people but an older crowd as well. Would Brooks allow it be recorded or will he try to release a movie version of the show like he did with The Producers?

Posted: 11/25/08 at 4:30pmI avoided cameras on the final day like the plague so I hope I didn't somehow sneak my way on there.
"This table, he is over one hundred years old. If I could, I would take an old gramophone needle and run it along the surface of the wood. To hear the music of the voices. All that was said." - Doug Wright, I Am My Own Wife

Posted: 11/25/08 at 7:23pmI avoided cameras as much as possible the last two days, but I have a bad feeling I didn't do the best possible job.. I ended up right in front of cameras without realizing it a couple of times. I can't wait for this DVD though, especially all the bonus footage!

Posted: 11/25/08 at 7:34pmI'm sure Brooks would not allow them to record it... he will possibly try to do a musical movie, and with that said, im sure that a filmed Broadway show would not do well... no one is as known as the original cast
