Just saw a video clip from the most recent Broadway production of BIG RIVER. I LOVED how they used the sign language!! That is a unique production that should have been recorded on video (which I am sure probably was) and marketed!
They put of video clips from all nominated shows (musicals AND plays - loved seeing HENRY IV). Many are decent length, but WICKED is short!!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
