Posted: 1/24/14 at 12:12amThey must have filmed this with out an audience, cause it was kept very quiet.

This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 1/24/14 at 12:47amI have some distant recollection of someone on some board (perhaps not this one) mentioning that s/he had attended a performance in Australia at which they were most definitely filming. I would certainly hope it was recorded with audience reaction. If not, that would be rather odd. But, anyway, yes please! If there's such a big cinema audience for a dreadful community theatre production of Sondheim's least successful musical, surely there's an audience for seeing two acting legends in a beloved and well known play. Would be a nice addition to the banner year Dame Lansubry is having, too.

It was the best theater experience of my life. A truly brilliant production and not just an acting showcase. So glad to hear that it was preserved and now can be seen by people all around the world.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

One of the best plays I have seen, a story by Alfred Uhry which turns North/South hatred of each other, into a added Jewish/African American hate, that comes the strongest possible friendship.
it is just great.

Of course I'm talking about the Australian production, otherwise it'd be totally off topic. Not that I'm not satisfied with the Lincoln Center vid, the Australian production which was based on the Lincoln Center production could turn out terrible for all I know. It just kept me hanging. Every now and then I would want to check if it's finally released.

Posted: 5/3/14 at 6:34pmI read somewhere that it's being shown in early June as part of the Sarasota Opera broadcast season. I really hope it will get to other parts of the U.S. as well. The trailer is available on youtube, and there is audience laughter audible on it.

heres a weird quote from that prior broadway world article
"DRIVING MISS DAISY also has first-look deals with producers, including the Lincoln Center Theater, but there is still no word on a potential Broadway production."
um why?
#22Lansbury/Jones DRIVING MISS DAISY Coming To Movie Theaters??
Posted: 5/4/14 at 11:09amI'd definitely see this in movie theaters, but more than that I really just want them to do this in NY so I can see it live. I've never seen Lansbury live, and it would be such a treat to see these two do these roles in person. But hey, I guess we gotta appreciate what we have, right?

Posted: 5/4/14 at 6:03pmwhy would this be produced in NY they just did it with Jones and Vanessa Redgrave like 3/4 years ago.
#24Lansbury/Jones DRIVING MISS DAISY Coming To Movie Theaters??
Posted: 5/4/14 at 6:21pmAgreed. That's why a Los Angeles mounting makes a lot more sense.
