The Making of The Pirate Queen airs in the New York City area tonight on WLIW/Channel 21!

Also...

"Producers Moya Doherty and John McColgan and cast leads Stephanie J. Block (Grace O'Malley) and Hadley Fraser (Tiernan) will be live in the WLIW21 (Channel 21) studio during the premiere broadcast to share their personal stories of working on the production, and they will have a special ticket offer for WLIW21 members."

I have my DVR ready to go as I've been anticiapting this documentary for some time now.

I hope this will be shown on some other PBS affiliates, or offered on DVD eventually.

The word is there's lots of nice performance footage from Chicago in this documentary, including segments of "Woman That I Was" and other bits that have been cut.

Let's hear it for Stephanie Block and Hadley Fraser for spending their day off hanging out at a TV studio to help promote Pirate Queen. I imagine they could use a little rest after a full weekend of shows.

I'll be watching this one for sure! I can't believe Steph and Hadley are working on their one day off! They are too amazing for words. Please let this documentary go to DVD! I bet they could sell alot in the lobby as well.

So messed up that it's only on in NYC. Why did I ever go to school in Maryland?

Pleaseeee let this become available on some other medium. I said this before but they should definitely put it on televisions outside the theater like the vids outside of The Color Purple.

I would SO love to see this! Tech....I'm also hoping that it will be shown on other PBS affiliates or become available on DVD.

And, yes, wonderful of Stephanie and Hadley to work on their days off!

I'm watching (and recording). The narrator is boooooring! His voice is putting me to sleep!

Gabriel Byrne (SP?) is narrating--- May sound boring, but excellent actor. All in all, an interesting show.

What is the channel (station number) that it's on? My friend is looking at 13 but says it's not there.

I love the incredibly pretentious quote from Alain Boubil

Producers: We told Alain, 'we want you to make us laugh. We want you to make us cry!"
Alain: "Oh...I will make you cry."

Sorry Alain, saw the show. Not a tear.

Of course you didn't cry Theatreboy33. You don't have any money invested in this!

Boring special.

Show looks odd, the music sounds melodic.

The music actually isn't very good.....the lyrics are worse, but the cast is great as are the sets, costumes, dancing, special effects, etc.

The electric guitar riffs that are playing throughout the tv studio part are really annoying. I've also rarely heard a cast patting themselves on the back so much. But I realize they are trying to sell tickets of course.

I absolutely loved the documentary. It was very well done. I'm glad people are able to see what it takes to bring a show to Broadway, the creative process, etc. It really highlighed the entire lifecycle.
