Anyone notice the post originated on June 6? You could have known about this a month ago. 
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

It could be a misprint Capn, but the website does say "Broadway's Lost Treasures III" at the top of the page (the description sounds like the first BLT, though).
WGBH also has BLTIII on their website as airing around the same time.

It looks like Chita is featured on the cover in Kiss of the Spider Woman. Did she sing Where You Are on the Tonys? I was hoping it was her 11:00 number, the title song of the show. Or maybe the trio that occurred right before...
How about Ragtime? Did they sing the opening number? I watched that but cannot remember what it was. Drabinsky could have at least taped that whole show before running off to Canada to hide from creditors.

Posted: 7/7/05 at 11:59pmKyle, Chita did sing "Where You Are," and I'm pretty sure the "Ragtime" performance was the opening number.

Ragtime could not have been taped by Drabinsky for the same reasons other shows are not -costs
I did hear that the company ( long since gone) that taped Putting It Together had a choice between that show & Ragtime & picked PIT over Ragtime. What a pity. The same company put out Jekyll & Hyde which I have seen being sold somewhere on DVD for $ 5.99 . Pretty soon it will wind up in $ .99 cent stores everywhere

Thanks Margo!
I'm actually excited that Charlie Brown is going to be on here!
I guess a lot of the ealier performances, like My Fair Lady are going to be done at later times, unlike the cover would lead you to believe.
BTW, when were the Tony Awards first boadcast??????

Posted: 7/9/05 at 12:38pm1967 was the first national telecast. They aired on local tv before that, but there were no production numbers or performances. It was just a low key dinner ceremony held at a local hotel ballroom where awards were handed out and not much else happened. Some of those earlier ceremonies (many of which still exist) lasted barely an hour. That's why we there is no Tony musical footage pre-1967 -- it didn't become the big three hour show it is today until the show went national.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 12:43pmThanks Margo, although this version's performances seem a little...blah to me. Some stick out (YAGMCB, Gypsy, West Side Story, Ragtime, Into the Woods...) but most dont really interest me :-/

The performance of "Everything's Coming Up Roses" is just Lansbury in a gown, singing the song. It's not in character. Very variety show style.
Gotta say..."She Likes Basketball," but not "Turkey Lurkey Time"? That sucks.
Best thing on the disc by far is "Step to the Rear".

I recently had a chance to see a tape of the 1867 Tony telecast.
(oops...obviously that should be 1967!)
It runs 90 minutes. One sponsor (American airlines) gets one single ad at each break. The speeches are very short none go over 30 seconds and many are no more than a "thank you very much." The 4 nominated musicals (CABARET, I DO I DO, THE APPLE TREE (PASSIONELLA) and WALKING HAPPY) are given long numbers. And all 4 shows got cast albums!
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Attorney John Breglio of the Bennett estate (who was a close personal and business associate of Bennett in his lifetime) won't grant the rights for the "Dreamgirls" clip for some reason. Not sure why he's withholding it, but perhaps it has something to do with the upcoming movie and the possibility of a Broadway revival.
He also makes it very difficult for anyone not associated with a major Equity production of the show to even view the tape at Lincoln Center (you have to get written permission from him to see the tape and if you're just a fan of the show or doing an amateur production, he will not allow you to see it).
I can't say that I understand the logic of keeping all legal footage of the show so under wraps and protected, but I suppose he has his reasons......... whatever they are.

Posted: 7/10/05 at 10:46amI believe the Bennett estate feels that Chorus Line and Dreamgirls can only be best appreciated in officially sanctioned productions that recreate the Bennett staging. By holding back the Tony Awards footage, when a revival of Chorus Line or Dreamgirls rolls around, it makes a first class production that much more eagerly anticipated - like the theatrical equivalent of Halley's Comet.
