I wonder what their criterion is for selecting ticket winners.

I signed up for two of the performances. Wonder if I'll get picked. Has PBS officially announced this broadcast yet? Glad it's being filmed.

But it's not really LIVE and it's not actually playing at LINCOLN CENTER! Ahhh!!!

and the site steals yet another story from the message boards and gives no credit, awesome.

Pat Cerasaro wrote/posted the article on the homepage, not Rob.

Glad this will be preserved, mainly for Lane's performance.

Sadly, no nudity will be included in this taped broadcast which will probably air sometime in late 2015.

Nudity wasn't integral to the plot, but I do think it added something artistically and helped the characterizations a bit. It definitely wasn't gratuitous.

Good point about the late 2015 though, oh PBS.

Nudity is always integral to the plot! It's the only reason I go to see plays.

They can't show ass on PBS?

^I know they have in the past. There was male nudity in South Pacific.

[broadwaydevil]

The Nance has full frontal (albeit brief.)

I'm assuming it will either just not happen on stage or since it's being filmed, they can just pick angles strategically not to show it.

^How come nobody told me? As long as it's not Nathan Lane full frontal, I would have bought a ticket.

For everyone's sake, it isn't Nathan. Jonny Orsini.

PBS has shown male ass many times over the years, and full frontal in nude dance.
I particularly remember Steambath and Tales of the City.
Here's a link to Steambath on YouTube

I'm also putting it in the optional link field, but I doubt this will work.

since its a donor station i think they can technically get away with nudity after the certain time (after 10pm i believe)

[EricMontreal22]

And PBS got in a lot of flack for the male nudity IN Tales of the City which is why the sequel moved to SHowtime. I thought they managed to not show the brief nudity in South Pacific either--but I could be wrong (I know back when Passion was filmed, apparently there were two takes for the opening, one with nudity and one without, although obviously if that's true, the nudity take was never released, even on DVD.)

They removed the nudity from THE WOMEN, which was a real shame because it was such an absolutely hilarious moment in the show.

[CATSNYrevival]

Posted: 8/8/13 at 10:23pm

The nudity in South Pacific did make it into the broadcast, and I believe there is a copy of Passion floating around with the nudity in. I haven't seen it, but I've seen it on trader's lists.

That PASSION DVD you're referencing is Lincoln Center's copy of the show, not the one shot for release with no audience.

It's official. Once again BWW gets a story from the boards...

Jordan, is this the version you were referring to?

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 8/9/13 at 1:27pm

Yeah, PBS doesn't show one whit of skin since the far-Right went after them in the early nineties.
