"Broadway Theatre Archive" DVDs, and suchlike
Does anyone else here collect theatrical productions (Broadway or otherwise), either on DVD or Blu-ray? I've always adored a really well done stage play -- musical, comedy, or drama; I love 'em all -- but there are so (comparatively) few of them available commercially, that I'm continually seeking out new recommendations for same.
Lately, I've been picking up the old Broadway Theatre Archive DVD releases that are still available, here and there, and have already enjoyed the following, to greater or lesser degree: Antigone Big Blonde Feasting with Panthers The Five Forty-Eight Incident at Vichy The Journey of the Fifth Horse June Moon A Memory of Two Mondays Paradise Lost Six Characters in Search of an Author The Sorrows of Gin The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd My absolute favorites, though, are really well-mounted, top-notch stage productions of Shakespeare, along the lines of the Opus Arte releases, such as: Julius Caesar The Merchant of Venice A Midsummer Night's Dream The Taming of the Shrew The Tempest Finally, I've recently been dipping a cautious toe into the waters of staged ballet and opera productions, on the advice of a friend; and have been somewhat startled to discover that they're considerably more accessible to the beginning viewer than I'd initially assumed.they might be... particularly the Royal Ballet performances of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Frankenstein (ballets), and the Glynderbourne production of Billy Budd (opera). Does anyone here have any other recommendations along these lines, He Asked, Hopefully...? ;) |
