Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis PBS filming occurred, as is often the case, toward the end of the show's Broadway run. Original cast member Matthew Morrison, cast as Lt. Cable, had by this time departed, as had first understudy Robert Lenzi. The performance filmed for Live From Lincoln Center features Morrison's second understudy, Andrew Somonsky, who inherited the role toward the end of the run. Somonsky's sullen, somewhat unhinged interpretation of even-keeled, Princeton-educated Joe Cable has made a case for capturing Broadway shows early in their runs for posterity. The same case can be made for Tony-winner Paulo Szot, who had gained considerable weight as the run of the show progressed, which showed on camera.

Featured review
A Perfect Production
Principal New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley wrote in his original review of this production that, "I know we're not supposed to expect perfection in this imperfect world, but I'm darned if I can find one serious flaw in this production."
That sums it up for me. It's unfortunate, not to mention very confusing, that Live From Lincoln Center never released a DVD, but thousands made perfectly legal recordings of the broadcast on their DVRs, and it shouldn't be too hard to find a copy.
