#1

How do I purchase a DVD of the Vienna performance with Julie Andrews?

#2

Are there any GP programs already aired that are scheduled for rebroadcast? Such as the opening gala with Renee Flemming, La Damnation of Faust or the Pavorotti birthday program

#3

What was the music for the title sequence for the 1989 Showboat episode of GP? I only heard it once but it has never left me.

#4

Michael Tilson Thomas has written, narrates, conducts the orchestra and performs in (along with 4 actors) a tribute to his grandparents called “The Thomashevskys.” His grandparents, Boris & Bessie Thomashevsky, were stars of the American Yiddish Theatre and very colorful characters. This is a wonderful, heartfelt tribute and insight into the theater life. This would make a fabulous “GP” presentation. MTT performs it periodically around the country. This August he’ll be performing it at Tanglewood in the Berkshires. Probably too late to arrange for a filming session for future b’cast, but do check it out!

#5

how does pbs determine which performances to record and present. These are great and would love to be there live during taping.

#6

The music from the title sequence for the 1989 Showboat performance from Paper Mill Playhouse was an instrumental version of “Why do I love you?” which prominently featured use of a banjo.
It’s been 20 years – now is the time for a rebroadcast in honor of its anniversary.
