I am so dissapointed! They don't have a single theatre in Massachusetts.

This sucks!
They don't have any theaters in California!

So is there no way this will come out on DVD?

Is it exclusive to this company? Maybe other theatres will put it out too, and this is just an announcement from this particular company.

So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

Someone will intercept it & we can all be able to see it.

Doesn't make sense to me. Carmike Cinemas seemed to fade out years ago.

I don't understand why they don't just release it in Manhattan where the broadway show actually is.

Because they want people across the country to be able to see it.

I just e-mailed Regal Entertainment (United Artists) and asked if they are showing it. I will post the response if I get one.

I know sometimes some company called Fathom Events hosts special airings of concerts, movies, and other events in movie theaters. I'm surprised they aren't linked to this event. I mean, they aired the semi-finals of DCI last year. And I don't remember, but I don't think there is one specific chain linked to this, but I could be wrong.

Because it's been in Manhattan for 12 years and everyone there has seen it by now, possibly repeatedly, and if they really wanted to see it live one last time, they'd see it in person at the Nederlander.

Maybe this was clarified already, but are they actually taping the closing performance of Rent? Or are they taping it sometime between now and September?

I don't 100% remember, but I think they're broadcasting the last performance live, with OBC performances + interviews around about it.

The closing performance will simulcast LIVE to movie theatres from the Nederlander.

And it's neither highly likely nor unlikely that it will be recorded for DVD release. They have done this "LIVE Simulcast" stuff before with things like operas at The Met and such. Some have made their way to DVD while others have not.

Carmike Cinemas is exclusively a movie theatre company. They don't do DVDs. So a DVD production company would have to be hired seperately. The producers would make that decision.

For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Wow, North Dakota actually has a Carmike. It's a really disgusting theater though, quality-wise.

Thanks, hook. So is the live broadcast different than what's going to Carmike Cinemas?

Why am I so confused over this...? lol

I immediately thought this was a thread about the movie that someone bumped up from a thousand years ago.
