Some aren't as fortunate to have DVD players. I just finished watching it. It ran 4 hours with 4 breaks. They are not replaying it in Ohio. That would be back to back...
I watched a bit of it after I came in from the new Russel Crowe film...OKLAHOMA! is about 2.5 hours long. As programmed by WNET, the NYC public television station, the show was scheduled to run from 7pm to 11pm. 4 hours! That's 1.5 hours of hard-core fund raising. Buying or renting the DVD is a much much better option.
Well I just loved this production. I am now a diehard core Hugh Jackman fan. I can't wait to see him in The Boy From Oz.

Ya. 4 hours was way too long! They wanted you to pledge $90 for the cast recording, $125 for 2-set DVD or VHS, or $200 for DVD/VHS and the cast recording. Do these public stations really need that much money to keep the shows running???
See...now I missed Justin Bohon and Jessica Boevers in this and the guy who played Ali Hakim (this guy sounded like Jackie Mason a bit to me!). But Hugh made it worth the 4 hrs. And let me just saythat I would watch Hugh for 4 hours any day!
addition to the serenity prayer:
Help me hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they pissed me off!!! :-)
Not only did I miss Justin Bohon and Jessica Boevers, but I really missed TSMrW!!!!! Yes, Hugh Jackman was fine as Curley, but so was Patrick, and he sang circles around Hugh. Besides, I think TSMrW has a better torso than Hugh!
