 Rating: - Waiting for DVD with extrasI also noticed Mary Martin at the curtain call at the end of the show (you can't actually see her face - I just deduced it from the white hair). Why was her performance removed and no credit was given? Whether it was her peak performance or not should not be an issue. Nevertheless, this video is a gem. It really is a historical glimpse at musical theater. The fact that theater only lives for the moment and is seldom preserved - is one of the most frustrating aspects of the theater. Luckily ... Read More Rating: - Live Broadway Captured!This taping absolutely blew me away! I originally bought it for the single purpose of seeing Barry Bostwick perform "Summer Loving" (instead of the talentless Travolta) after hearing the recording of the orginal "Grease!" cast. What an incredible find. As someone who is in love with musical theatre-I consider this film a treasure! To see such talented performers reviving the roles that they created is a once in a life time oportunity caught here for generations to fall in love with. You are treated ... Read More Rating: - A great buy!At first, I wasn't a big fan of Broadway. I mean sure, a little music here, a little dancing there, but I just didn't see what's so fantastic about some street in New York. One of my closer friends gave me this video, and I was about to return it to the store, when I decided to give it a try. Boy was it a great decision. I didn't even know the songs, and I was up dancing and singing all over my livingroom carpet. For either the big broadway fan, or the bored bum, this VHS is sure to get you laughing, ... Read More Rating:  - A Tape Full Of TalentThis video was ordered to introduce our children to the virtually lost art form of American musical theater, and it succeeds admirably. Hosted by the self-effacing Tom Bosley (of "Happy Days" fame), this program features excellent performances by a plethora of famous and not-so-famous singers, such as Barry Bostwick, Debbie Reynolds, Ray Walston, Anthony Perkins (yes, Norman!), Glynis Johns, Jerry Orbach and, of course, Ethel Merman. The singing is punctuated by fine hoofing by the American Dance Machine. ... Read More Rating: - A Great Historical ProductionI first saw this on PBS in the mid-'80s, and I videotaped it, but I loaned that tape to a friend and, alas, never saw it again. The one thing about that PBS tape that varies from this commercial release is that Mary Martin appeared at the end to sing DO-RE-MI (with a multi-cultural group of childen, too). The home video release has deleted Ms. Martin and the kids. . .but if you look closely during the curtain calls, you can see her to Tom Bosley's right. . .it's too bad the video doesn't include her--in ...
