How many shows are recorded and sold as videos? I know all shows are flimed for the lincoln center archvies (i've been there, saw Chorus Line)... but I know CATS was recorded and sold... what other shows have had this? I wanna see alot of the classics that I never got to see before they closed cause I was too young.

Um, Jekyle and Hyde. I think Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat. Possibly Jesus Christ Superstar. I'm not sure of others, but you could check amazon.com. good luck!

All of the ALW videos (CATS & JOSEPH...) are not the actual show. They are studio productions and there are of course different from the actual stage production. There are several shows that have been taped and are on the market. TINTYPES, SOPHISTICATED LADIES, SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE, INTO THE WOODS, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, PASSION, and ELAINE STRITCH LIVE AT LIBERTY all come to mind.

Well, not classics by any means, but Jekyll and Hyde and Smokey Joe's Cafe were recorded...Contact too. Hmmm...that's it off the top of my head.

Yes, Les Miz has been recorded -- but only the concert is the one that's commercially available.

Two very good ones (that are both now on DVD and readily available) that nobody has yet mentioned:
Pippin-- with William Katt in the title role and Ben Vereen as the Leading Player
Sweeney Todd-- with George Hearn and Angela Lansbury

neither of these is a recording of the production in its actual Broadway house, but later touring versions of the shows. Both, however, are the work of two genuis directors (Bob Fosse and Hal Prince) and are worth seeing.

The West End's Kiss Me Kate revival, Into The Woods, Sunday in the Park With George, Sweeney Todd (with Angela L. and George Hearn, as some have said already)....erm...that's all I can think of right now.

If you get Jesus Christ Superstar be careful there are two diiferent versions. One is the classic 70s version. The other is newer, but I compare it to Hardcore S&M...the costumes anyway. It seems to be a European stage version.

Was the cast recording of Cabaret with Alan Cumming and Natasha Richardson done before a live audience? If so, did they do video version. I would kill to see Alan Cumming as the Emcee. Adam Pascal was great but Alan is a genius.

I prefer Mary Martin's Peter Pan over Cathy Rigby's. They should remaster Mary's for DVD.
