Customer Reviews

Close as you can get to live theater

No recording can capture the feel of live theater. However, this series comes close. What it does do is allow you to see the movies you have watched from a different angle. And for the few that were lucky enough to see the plays, they also see a different version, but it brings back their memories of the real thing. As with any selection, “usually called the best of,” most of this production is my favorite, and then again, the performances that I would like to have seen are missing. An example of this is from “Evita”; they cannot play everything; we did get to watch “A New Argentina” and “Buenos Aires” but did not get to see “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina.” About “Evita,” I have the recording from Patti Ann LuPone; however, this is the first time I have seen her. There are too many performances and performers to do them credit in this review.
