PSA for everyone who keeps complaining that golden-age musicals never get filmed -- the West End production of Irving Berlin's TOP HAT premieres tonight on PBS:

Great Performances has been on an absolute tear lately with proshots, and I'm here for it. TOP HAT is one of those scores that's just packed with standards back-to-back (Cheek to Cheek, Top Hat White Tie and Tails, Isn't This a Lovely Day) and the tap choreography in the West End production was apparently a showstopper.
Anyone in the UK who caught this live -- worth staying up for? And bigger question: why aren't producers and equity getting together over here to make this more affordable?
