Crazy for You was filmed at Paper Mill Playhouse for PBS, though it was pretty much a recreation of the Broadway production.

There was also a Paper Mill production of Show Boat that was filmed for PBS in 1989.

Original staging--not production. And 30 minutes are cut (though bootleg versions have placed them back in.)

As for Crazy and Show Boat, those were both Live from Lincoln Center productions so aren't on DVD.

Will Rogers was filmed for Japanese tv from Broadway (the same way 42nd Street and Pacific Overtures were)--sadly none are on DVD. Image had plans to release PO but believed restoring it and releasing it would not get them a profit (probably right, but still a shame--but a high quality copyis out there now after years of inferior copies)

Smokey Joe's Cafe

"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."
--Aristotle

The Julie Andrews Cinderella was released on DVD back in 2004. It's a black and white kinescope, no color copies exist as far as anyone is aware.

The title of this thread keeps changing- I am getting confused, weren't we first talking about Broadway shows on DVD? I wasent aware that the Cinderella with Julie Andrews was a filmed stage version.

"Jekyll & Hyde with Hasselhoff . In a remainder bin at any store."

That is a shame, wish they would have done it with the OBC, Hasselhoff was terrible.

If I remember correctly Hasselhoff put up a large amount of the financing for the DVD himself.

I picked it up years ago for $2 in a bargain bin at K-Mart. It's good for a laugh now and then, but I've never been able to make it through the whole thing.

I swear that "A Little Night Music" finally made it onto a DVD. It's not restored or anything, but I thought it was out there.

We're talking about stage productions captured on video. A Little Night Music was televised from NY City Opera, and that has never been released to DVD.
