I'll be so sad if this doesn't happen. I can't believe they wouldn't at least show it on PBS. The cast was so superb and I think someone like Stephen Colbert would draw in even non-musical fans curious to see him perform in this show.
Thank God, the more I see the Doyle production (at least on DVD), the more I wish *any* other production was on DVD. I was worried this was tied up in some rights issues the way some stage performances have had theatrical showings but not been allowed to get a DVD release.
And I can't wait for the people who say they're going to purchase it to start begging for a link to download it because they just can't wait for the copy the never ordered to arrive in the mail.
I just hope they exhibit good sense in editing the DVD. The version I saw in the movie theater contained some objectionable language and I wouldn't want to bring anything like that into my home.
My pants are, in full disclosure, dry, but this is exciting. Of course, after all the back-and-forth I'll only fully believe it when that disc is playing on my TV.
I look forward to the pouty glaring duels that will take place between Raul-Bobby and NPH-Bobby on my DVD shelf.
