Live From Licoln Center is not yet listing this on their website (see link below) - so I would not jump for joy until an official announcement. (Although I for one am pricing DVRs as I type...) Also, a few points if it does happen:

1) The telecast is live. Not taped. Live. The cast will be whoever reports for work that night - meaning, if Victoria Clark (god forbid) is sick that night - we will see Patti Cohenour instead.

2) Kelli O'Hara and Matt Morrison will NOT be brought back for this telecast.

3) A commercial DVD will not be released.

So, keep checkin that website and here's hoping this comes to fruition. I've been hoping for this telecast for months now...

I've written three letters to them in the past year asking for this. What a dream come true!

I too will be investing in a DVR JUST for this purpose. And I will make a backup copy to use when the laser eventually melts my first copy from constant viewing.

It is in the recording agreement that the broadcast only be aired once. (with a repeat broadcast later in the week). Because of licensing issues and fees and such, they sign an agreement never to distribute them for dvd/video sales. Nor are they allowed to re-broadcast them at a later date.

I reccommend everyone record it upon airing, cause this is the only chance you'll get.

Slightly off topic, but could you guys list some of the other shows you mentioned to be on this program? Like Contact, A Little Night music, etc. There *is* one place to see most of these. The Museum of TV and Radio. I'm a member there, and realizing what a rarity these programs are, it'd be great to get a bit of a list to check for next time I go! Thanks.

wickedrentq- Shows I can remember being broadcast include "Candide" from NYCO in the early/mid 80's with Erie Mills, the "Night Music" in 91. More recent entries have included "Twelth Night" with Helen Hunt, Paul Rudd et al, "Contact" and "Passion" with LuPone. The instances of a Live from Lincoln Center broadcast of a theatre related event are rare. The telecasts are mostly reserved for NYPhil concerts, Mostly Mozart event, the occasional City Opera production... but every once in a while a "Piazza" sneaks in there - and is always welcome!

Favorite song... Hmm... I don't know. There are SO MANY good ones. The first one that comes to mind is the title song, then the Octet, then The Beauty is, and it's reprise, the list goes on and on and on...

Are you sure Kelli won't be asked back for a special performance?

Kelli has been with Piazza since the beginning workshops. The role was written for her. I'm not saying Katie Clarke isn't a good Clara (though I have my thoughts on that subject!), but it just seems more respectful to preserve this show with Kelli as Clara considering the effort, time, and heart she's put into the role.
Bill Finn rocks. Woot.

Umm, Kelli originally played Franca...so the role of Clara was definitely not written specifically for her...
