"I think some of you should maybe be grateful that you have the chance to actually SEE this production."
Unless Catherine Zeta-Jones objects, it will be filmed. Sondheim has allowed Sweeney Todd, Into The Woods, Sunday in the Park..., Company and Passion all to be put on video. I know video is not the same as being there, but you'll eventually be able to see it.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

It's not exactly that simple. Someone had to put up the money for it. Sondheim doesn't just snap his fingers and get his shows filmed. The money had to come from somewhere. Someone had to be willing to put up thousands of dollars with a full understanding that they will never get back a single penny of their investment. Unless that happens again you won't see Night Music on DVD.

Mmm. Though it does seem like this Night Music production would be a candidate for filming.
What I don't understand is, if Sondheim is rich, why doesn't he put the money up?
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 10/6/09 at 11:54pmNobody here has feet? You want to see the show so badly get standing room. I've been in the balcony and people here exaggerate. I don't have the world's best eyesight and I have never had a problem there, and I was up there as recently as "Grey Gardens".

If the production is good and gets great reviews, tickets will be at a premium and there won't be much in the way of discounts. It's a possibility the show may be filmed/taped but deals for PBS and/or cable Tv showings would have to help underwrite some of the costs.
I am curious abpout the comment: Someone had to be willing to put up thousands of dollars with a full understanding that they will never get back a single penny of their investment.
While I don't think any of the commercially released tapings have reaped huge profits, the basic costs would eventually be recovered through licensing (overseas and here) and video sales.
I think it's a little unfair to compare paying for this as throwing one's money down the sewer.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Posted: 10/7/09 at 4:05pmand if the show is selling out, the Kerr does have SRO. Which hopefully will only be $25-$30.
