I have been DYING to see this documentary!! I *really* hope that promised DVD release comes through...and SOON!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. 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."

Posted: 1/27/07 at 1:33amI'm just read about this and it seems really interesting. I hope it is released on DVD as well because I live far, far away from anywhere cool, so odds are it won't show in the theatres here.
Call the understudy / I can't go on tonight / I'm drinking with my buddy / I'm getting good and tight / Before they raise the curtain I'll be higher than a kite / So call the understudy
I can't go on tonight

I'm very excited, although the film will seem a bit dated due to the delayed release date. Oh well. That's the way it goes.
I see something like this opening well at Film Forum, but I wonder if they wouldn't try to put it closer to the midtown theatre district.
Since Regent Releasing is putting it out, I'm guessing it'll open at the Quad Cinema on 13th Street. That's where everything else they release opens in New York.

Posted: 1/28/07 at 1:13pmI don't think it will really be dated -- the film was originally screened at Tribeca after all of the events it depicts. It's a documentary on a process that happens every year, and follows a season in pretty recent memory. It's still relevant. If things happened completely differently now than they did in '04, then you could call it dated. It has nothing to do with the fact that you know the outcome of the events you're watching.

Posted: 1/28/07 at 1:25pmTHE MAKING OF MISS SAIGON isn't outdated, and that was made in what? 1988?
