Posted: 10/25/10 at 4:47pmHey, I was wondering what shows have been released on DVD. I mean like a live performance, not the movies. My friend made a list of things he wants. It only says "Live Broadway Performances". All help is appreciated. :)

Rent (final perf -- at least I think it was made available)
Original Into the Woods
Original Sunday in the Park with George
Don't know if the latter two are currently available for purchase.
(But perhaps your friend wants to GO to the theater.)

Not all of these are live (many of them are film versions) but it is worth looking through, to get an idea.

Thanks guys! Maybe I am better off taking him tot the theatre. But like I said before he didnt specify ANY shows. So what are some of the best shows that are open now. Me and him saw N2N, ALNM, and La Cage so what are some others. ( I think he prefers musicals, not to be picky)

Posted: 10/25/10 at 5:04pmNot technically a musical (it's an opera), but the Patti Lupone/Audra McDonald MAHAGONY.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Also: A Tale of Two Cities was filmed "in concert" but were on a stage with props & in costume, acting scenes out.
Les Miserables was filmed for Concert as well - which I believe the new DVD release includes the documentary "Stage by Stage" or something which features pro-shot footage from several Les Mis productions.

Posted: 10/25/10 at 8:29pmIt is not a "filmed show" but Sweeney Todd-In Concert with LuPone, Hearn, Patrick Harris and Clark is very well done and sung. I finally watched it yesterday and really enjoyed it. It includes some nice special features including interviews with the cast, Sondheim and Lonnie Price. Lots of behind the scenes footage is included also.
