Posted: 11/29/08 at 4:14pmThe entire show is already on YouTube, and if people want to see it so badly that they're recording and posting bootlegs, I don't see why the producers can't have the cast record it and profit from it.

Posted: 11/29/08 at 5:52pmMaybe it is only for the Lincoln archive, but I hope not.
"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: 11/29/08 at 5:58pmThey don't use "moving cameras" to film for the Lincoln Center Archives. I'm also pretty sure it was filmed for the archives while at City Center.

I doubt they'd be filming the video for the Lincoln archives that late in the run.
Plus, aren't archive videos only filmed with stationary cameras? The Telecharge message mentions moving cameras.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Before anyone gets too excited, note that the TeleCharge disclaimer clearly states: may be filmed for future purposes.
This doesn't confirm anything a simple disclaimer to protect themselves IN CASE they intend on filming the last performance. By posting that disclaimer, they can't be sued or encounter problems afterwards. This is informing ticket buyers in advance about possible obstructions at that performance in the event that it IS filmed.
Here's hoping it is, but you never know with these things.

Posted: 11/29/08 at 6:47pmIt shows that the idea has at least been entertained. I'm thinking they have it set & waiting for the investor to come through with the money.

*crosses fingers*
Not that I think it'll translate particularly well to film, but this is a production that I want to remember forever.
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

Posted: 11/29/08 at 11:51pmI hope to goodness this happens. Not living in new york, I want to have to be able to see patti perform this somehow.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
#23re: Any Plans for a Patti LuPone 'Gypsy' DVD?
Posted: 11/30/08 at 12:01amIf it does happen, I will be ecstatic. I've been aching to see this production, but I haven't had the time or money to go to New York & I won't be able to see it before it closes. But if there's a DVD made, jackpot!

Posted: 11/30/08 at 1:56amI would be able to die happy if this got taped. I mean, it will have been enough after I see it in December, but to be able to revisit it whenever I had a few hours to kill? Nothing could top that for me.
