I no longer have HBO so am unable to watch the show on TV or HBOGo. Does anyone know if there is any other place I may be able to watch the show? Thanks.
YouWantitWhen: I think most of the routines/characters he does are the same as the previous incarnations, but as far as anything else, he's constantly adding new tidbits. I saw it when it came back to Broadway just recently and there were quite a few jokes that referred to current events/pop culture.
I watched this today, as I didn't have a chance last night. Seeing it again reminded me why it was one of the mist enjoyable theater experiences I've ever had: Billy Crystal tells things very well...joke, story, or interview. He's a master.
I had tickets to see it live and then something came up and I couldn't go. I had not realized that they recorded it..so I was grateful to see it on HBO.
It brought up a lot of memories for me..as he talks a lot about the Commordore Music Store where his father used to work near the Chrysler Building in NYC..and I live two blocks from the Chrysler building..so I can really "see" in my mind where he spent so much time.
It made me a little nostalgic to hear that the music store could no longer compete with the chain music stores like Sam Goody that came in and took over...because I do remember our neighborhood Sam Goody that was a mainstay here for so many years and then that closed too.. The times they are a changing..
Anyway..its a really heart felt show and he really captured that audience for almost two hours. Fabulous.. I didn't read the EW review..good thing I wasn't dissuaded from watching.
I saw it thanks to HBO On Demand. I saw it on Broadway and loved every moment of it then and loved every moment of it when I saw it last night on TV. However, I was wondering something. In addition to the show, there are shots of him in a house. Now, does anyone know if those shots were done in his actual Long Beach house that he grew up in, or was it just a studio soundstage made to look like his childhood home?
