I only caught the last half, when will this be on again? My God, it was an amazing story!!
I saw the Show last Aug in NYC. As a composer & someone who loves stage productions I really connected with it, even though these wonderful artists are a generation younger than me. I missed the beginning of this TV broadcast. I’m hoping the first part showed more about the music preparation (i.e., band rehearsals, orchestration process, etc). If it did not, I am sorely disappointed. I also have a personal connection with a former schoolmate of Lin-Manuel’s and am especially excited about his success as well as the others.
This documentary is something that I have been waiting to see for about a month. While I have not seen ITH, I have been in love with the score and the story since its success at the Tony Awards last year. Living in Wisconsin does not provide me many opportunities to see live theater and being a full time college student prevents me from affording it. I was so excited about seeing this special that wrote it on every calendar in the house and set the DVR a week early, but to my surprise…it was not aired in our region. I’m not sure is this was an error in programming or if it was a blatant disregard for those that are actually interested in the arts. In its place was an Auction, I only hope this isn’t the case when it re-airs in June.
I would love to be able to show my students, many Dominican, this. When and where will it be on sale?
When will this be on – I missed it – saw the show on broadway and loved it!
I would really like to get a copy of this show to show to my drama club students. Can high schools get this for educational purposes?
