It played fine for me - all 15 times that I watched it!! - Maybe it's your connection.
Anyway, it's a fan site not an official website.
Go Josh!

Posted: 4/22/09 at 5:06pm"Sensational" or "overdone", there is a 'fine, fine line'.
"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

Posted: 4/24/09 at 12:52pmJune 17. Check your local listings. If you pledge $200, you get the DVD. (Maybe)

Bummed out by the "no plans for Blu-ray" note at the bottom of the page. These hi-def filmed shows look AMAZING in 1080p. Kinda sucks knowing that the DVD I get will look lower-quality than the PBS HD airing.
