My second Oprah/Color Purple topic in two days, but anyway...
Oprah's $$$$$ producing contribution should go towards putting COLOR PURPLE on DVD.
a) They're using her for publicity anyway and don't really need her money.
b) The money that she put in (or puts in $500,000 more) can go towards the DVD, and she'd get some of it back.
c) She can afford to lose $250,000.
d) She can market the DVD on her talk show, too.
e) They should record the production professionally NOW to preserve the OBC then release it in a few years or after it closes, whichever comes first.
f) They can sell them on the tour.
g) I loved the show and listen to the cast recording constantly.
h) That is all.

"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."
