As I recall there is also a DVD of the London production of the 1980 (the year it debuted on Broadway) musical "Barnum" with Michael Crawford, which aired on PBS in the mid-80s.
What I wouldn't give for a complete professionally done video of my favorite original Broadway musical of the last 20 years, "Titanic" which I saw four times and have two complete audios of. The musical was by far the superior Titanic production to be made in the year 1997.
BTW, the previous post mentioning Julie Andrews performing "Wouldn't It Be Loverly". That is from the Ed Sullivan "Best Of Broadway" video which had VHS and LD releases. I've been fortunate to obtain several volumes of complete Broadway numbers from the Sullivan show though, and it would be so great to see all of them in full on DVD in a professional release. Thanks to Sullivan we do have some visual record of Richard Burton and Julie Andrews in "Camelot" and Richard Kiley in "Man Of La Mancha" (which win the awards for the two greatest musicals desecrated by Hollywood in bad film productions with inferior casts)
