I think it is perfectly acceptable to film bootlegs and post them online (even if it is illegal), especially after a show closes or there is a change in cast.
@GrandFenwyck I disagree and think that's a bit too radical. It's not like Broadway shows are gonna stop selling tickets because of recordings. The people who really want and can see a show on theater will, with or without the video. But there are THOUSANDS of people out there who doesn't have the same opportunity, because they're in other countries, or can't afford tickets or even only discovered the show after it closed. Now, if you think you are more deserving of the show than these people just because you have money or a privileged geographic localization, then that's... selfish and elitist, at minimum. Musical theater is a bliss; shows like this change people's lives. I am absolutely in favor of whatever gets the greater number of people in contact with this joy.
I have to say, even though it's completely disrespectful to record a video of a theatrical production like this, I really must say thank you. Roger Bart! Sutton Foster! Christopher Fitzgerald! Megan Mullally! I could cry from how great this cast is. I wish I had gotten a chance to actually see them.
I saw this at the Kennedy Center and was blown away by the performance. Absolutely flawless. Roger Bart is still my favorite actor. - Also, I bought the "What Hump?" backpack after the show. ^-^
I don't think is wrong to record theatrical shows as long as the don't sell official DVD/blu rays of their work. I'm from Rome, Italy. As such I don't have the possibility to come in NYC often. These recordings are the only way I have to enjoy these shows. Every musical lover from all around the world can enjoy them. Furthermore these shows will be enjoyed far longer than their original stage runs and will remain as a source of knoledge for the re-runs and foreign versions.
Hello people. This is my channel but I forgot my login and can't get back on. If you have questions about this show reply under here and I'll be happy to help.
The way that The Producers had so many lines from previous Mel Brooks movies, I was expecting something similar in this opening scene. Villager: But Inspector Kemp, ze baron is dead! And HE was the last of the Frankensteins. Kemp: No! Villager: 'No??' Kemp: Nein. Villager: That's what 'no' means. *lol*
@welshdancer1 I hope SHREK won't close! I saw it on Bway twice and on tour once, and it didn't, nor doesn't deserve to be a flop! Best of luck to those in the west end!
Kind of a crappy camer job if you ask me.... My school did this for the winter musical, I think the school did a better job but they were REALLY good, I like the live performance better than the movie

+PianoDisneygal10 If it is illegal, how the fuck is it acceptable?
ethical and legal are not always the same thing
I had the great luck to see this show and fell in DEEP LOVE with it.

This was the first Broadway show I've ever seen. Loved every minute of it!

I saw it last night. Best musical I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few!

LOOOOVVVEE THIS SHOW! SAW IT IN DETROIT AND LAUGH'D MY HEAD OFF! Thnx for posting!
a tap dancing monster on broadway...what a show! :D
I think this show will sell more tickets thanks to this video.
considering this show was cancelled in 2009 I doubt this video will affect ticket sales one way or the other
I am watching this video to decide if I want to see our community theater performance of this show next month.
i love you right now! i saw this in person and it was awesome! i miss it!
I luv this movie sooooooooooooo much!!!!!!
Roger Bart is a genious
the scientist in this play was Roger Bart. not A J. Holmes

@yngfrnknstn101 Actually this performance was in Seattle at the Paramount Theater
That mad scientist's name is A.J. Holmes. And he's a Starkid. :D
@LexiTheLovelySquid is it still playing there? And is it Roger Bart? If so, I'm SOOOOOOOOOO going!!!!
@kimt1987 it was in Milwaukee. It's amazing!!
@welshdancer1 I hope SHREK won't close! I saw it on Bway twice and on tour once, and it didn't, nor doesn't deserve to be a flop! Best of luck to those in the west end!
@arod12234 That's Roger Bart for you!
Could you please put this video as unlisted so it wont get taken down
@welshdancer1 Hopefully SHREK won't be a flop! I saw it on Bway twice and on tour twice, and it didn't deserve to close!
the one with AJ Holmes is way better, when it comes to singing and acting and awesomeness.
when was this taped? because Kelly Sullivan took over the role of Inga in July of 2008 which is why i have a hard time thinking that is Sutton
You can find all the info. you need on www.playbillvault.com. They have almost every show, actor, theater, plus more
Wait, this is the actual original Broadway show?
cool
is this the one with AJ Holmes?
... isn't this that one?
no clue man
please please please find a way to post Hamilton again
NO MORE FRANKENSTEIN!!!
... Never mind. sorry...
I love Igor
It’s too bad that the music in this show is so generic and flavorless compared to the producers
Kind of a crappy camer job if you ask me.... My school did this for the winter musical, I think the school did a better job but they were REALLY good, I like the live performance better than the movie
