Not every show is taped. There are quite a few that have not been. You must also have a valid reason for wanting to watch them at Lincoln Center, not just "cuz it looks kewl".

There is a 2000 filmed stage version of Jesus Christ Superstar.

If you show them a student ID at the Lincoln center video archives, and tell them it's for a research project or something, that will work...or so I've heard; I'm yet to try it out myself.

Thanks for that link MargoChanning. I never knew of the site existed before you posted it. Looks interesting.

The Chess Benefit concert is available on DVD? I don't think so. Anyone have a link?

The tapes in Lincoln Center are not commercially available so that doesn't work for me. I'm not about to go lying saying I'm working on some project or other to see some footage, even if I could get away with it.

The CHESS concert was taped, as were the other benefit concerts, but were not released commercially.

IN addition to SWEENEY TODD, RKO released E-Channel videos of I DO! I DO! (with Lee Remick, Hal Linden) and PURLIE (with mots of the orig cast reassembled.) ALso A&E showed the Cathy Rigby PETER PAN and that is out on DVD.

The Entertainment Channel also taped and broadcast the revival of CAMELOT with Richard Harris but as far as I have been able to track down it was never released on VHS or DVD.

I'm glad a number of the Sondheim shows have been preserved with their original casts, but when I see shows like JEKYLL AND HYDE (witha replacemnet cast too!) I wish the selections were more carefully made. Why no TITANIC? RAGTIME? URINETOWN? No one took advantage of taping the Roudabout revivals of NINE or ASSASSINS.

frontrow, stop you are just making me sad. I hope to see some shows at Lincoln center later this month, I am actually planning to write a paper on them.

THere is also Nunsense, the original and tow sequels. I think The Magic Show with Chita Rivera is also out there on DVD, though it didn't seem interesting to me.

I would highly recommend Broadway Theatre Archive's taped production of William Saroyan's "The Time of Your Life", with Patti LuPone's brilliant performance as Kitty Duvall.

Also good is their taped production of "Fifth of July" with Swoosie Kurtz and Richard Thomas.

Is the Barnum movie w/ Michael Crawford and filmed stage production or an actual film?
