Company film
 $11.49  
In the late 1990s, the television show SOUTH PARK sparked a trend of using figures associated with children's entertainment, such as puppets and animated characters, in the service of adult comedy. Depending on your viewpoint, this either generates marvelously clever social critique or cheap, tasteless jokes. Adding to the controversy is AVENUE Q, the smash Broadway hit that reads like a thinly veiled SESAME STREET parody, in which a charming puppet world is subverted by smart, bawdy humor about sexuality, pornography, and racism.
In this production, for example, puppet roommates Rod and Nicky seem to have a particularly close relationship (explored in "If You Were Gay") and other characters wonder "What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?" and declare "It Sucks to Be Me" in a rousing medley. ...
| | Sherry! CDs (2004) Original Broadway Cast; Enhanced CD
Company review
$19.49 
Disc two is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Recorded in Bratislava, Slovakia on May 2001 and Prague, Czech Republic in January 2003. Includes liner notes by James Lipton.
In 1967, James Lipton, a 40-year-old lyricist/librettist who had one Broadway flop (1962's Nowhere to Go But Up) behind him, got together with Laurence Rosenthal, a 40-year-old composer best known for the film Becket (1964), which had earned him an Academy Award nomination, and they wrote Sherry!, a musical based on George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's comic 1939 play The Man Who Came to Dinner, a send-up of the author and radio commentator Alexander Woollcott (fictionalized as Sheridan Whiteside, hence "Sherry!") with supporting roles for characters based on No�l Coward, Gertrude Lawrence, and Harpo Marx. The original play was a hit, running 739 performances and earning frequent revivals. But Lipton and Rosenthal's musical was a flop, running 72 performances, not even enough to interest a record company in making a cast album, and that was that. Rosenthal went back to screen composing, eventually focusing on television work. Lipton found minor writing and acting assignments, then settled into moderating a "meet the celebrities" course at New York's New School for Social Research that eventually moved to the cable-TV channel Bravo as Inside the Actors Studio. ...
| | Bounce CD (2004)
Company DVD
$17.09
Muisc & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Score conducted by David Caddick.
Recorded live at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, DC. Includes a book by John Weidman & liner notes by Frank Rich.
The musical Bounce, with songs by Stephen Sondheim and a libretto by John Weidman (the two had previously collaborated on Pacific Overtures and Assassins), played for six weeks at the Goodman Theater in Chicago (June 30-August 10, 2003), followed by four weeks at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. (October 21-November 16, 2003). These runs may have been considered tryouts for Broadway, but during the D.C. engagement, the producers announced that the show would not be going to New York. They blamed a lack of theater space, but observers noted the negative reviews Bounce had received. For most shows that close out of town, that would have been the end of that, but Sondheim is such a celebrated figure in the musical theater, one whose flops (Anyone Can Whistle, Merrily We Roll Along, both of which made it to Broadway) are nearly as legendary as his hits, that Nonesuch Records recorded the show with the original cast, its commercial failure notwithstanding. Sondheim fans, who may have followed Bounce's long, tortuous gestation (which included rewrites, title changes, re-casting, workshops, and lawsuits), will welcome ...
| | Monty Python's Spamalot CD (2005)
Company movie DVD
$15.65 
Silliness abounds on the Broadway cast recording of MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT, a loose adaptation of the revered (and much-quoted) film MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. Penned by Python member Eric Idle (along with his musical collaborator John Du Prez), SPAMALOT follows the absurd adventures of King Arthur (Tim Curry) and his Knights of the Round Table, including Sir Robin (David Hyde Pierce) and Sir Lancelot (Hank Azaria). While the production plays into the conventions of the musical, with plenty of over-the-top singing, it also subverts those cliches, most notably on the hilarious "The Song That Goes Like This," which skewers the Broadway standard of sugary-sweet romantic duets (where a couple can "overact like hell"). Throughout SPAMALOT, cheeky Python-esque humor is always on hand, so much so that the production even includes "Always Look on the Bright Side Of Life," the classic sing-along number from another favorite Python movie, LIFE OF BRIAN.
A musical of the highest excalibur! 'Spamalot' is a new broadway show "lovingly ripped-off" from the film 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail'. the show stars tim curry ('The Rocky Horror Picture Show') as King Arthur, David Hyde-Pierce ('Frasier') as Sir Robin and Hank Azaria ('The Simpsons') as Sir Lancelot. Currently playing sold-out shows to packed houses at Broadway's Shubert Theatre, 'Spamalot' captures ...
| | Dirty Rotten Scoundrels CD (2005)
Company video
$15.65
For years, Hollywood made a habit out of turning Broadway musicals into films, so it probably shouldn't be too surprising that the tables have turned: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, a 1988 feature, became a Broadway musical in 2004. Like the movie, the musical follows the exploits of two con men, one smooth and debonair, John Lithgow, and the other, Norbert Leo Butz, simply small potatoes. Of course, since it's a musical now, a soundtrack had to be added, and David Yazbek wrote both the melodies and the lyrics. Ghostlight's original Broadway cast recording features both Lithgow and Butz along with Sherie Ren� Scott, Joanna Gleason, Gregory Jbara, and a number of others singing lots of bouncy bright show tunes. In a way, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' music and lyrics ("Give Them What They Want" and "Great Big Stuff"), save for a few four-letter words here and there, seems very traditional. Yazbek enjoys wordplay and puns, reminding ...

AUGUST RUSH is part romance, part gentle fantasy, but this sweet drama is all heart. When young cellist Lyla (Keri Russell) and rock musician Louis (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) meet at a party in the mid 1990s, it's love at first sight, and they spend the night in each other's arms. But Lyla's father forces them apart, even though she later learns she's pregnant. Later, an accident lands Lyla in the hospital, and though her father tells her that her baby died, the child survives and is given up for adoption. AUGUST RUSH jumps to the present and begins to follow Evan (Freddie Highmore), an 11 year old who has grown up in a boys' home. As Evan embarks on a crusade to find his parents, he imagines he can communicate with them through his gift for music. His journey to New York City brings him into contact with Wizard (Robin Williams), a man eager to capitalize on the child prodigy's talent. Wizard gives Evan the name August Rush as he begins performing all over the city, but the boy's ultimate goal is to find the parents he has never met.

| | Salsaisgood Vol. 3-Bachata Caribbean Style: The Exercises DVD (2008)
Company video
$31.65
This DVD is organized very differently from most dance DVDs. So it is very important you spend a few minutes watching this session and you follow these instructions carefully to make the most of it..This is not a DVD to ‘watch’; this is a DVD to exercise with; this DVD will guide you through a number of Bachata footwork exercises. Consider it your Bachata personal trainer. The footwork in the exercises is taken from the Caribbean dancers we analyzed in the 2 previous DVDs of this series “The method” and “The demos”. We recommend you watch those 2 DVDs carefully in order to understand how the footwork exercises fit into the dance and into the Bachata method we teach. Once you are familiar with ‘The method’, then try the exercises. Ok.. suppose you are ready to exercise. We will now guide you through one exercise so it will be clear how to use the DVD.First, in the main Menu, you have the choice of four kinds of exercises. These are “basic elements”, “rhythmic exercises”, “arm coordination” and “footwork”. Of course we recommend you start from the “basic elements”; but just for the sake of explanation, suppose you choose an exercise from the “footwork” set. Highlight the “footwork” button on the DVD Menu with your remote control and press Enter You will see a number of available exercises. Suppose you choose “Exercise 6”. Once again, highlight it with your remote control and press Enter; Now you can choose which speed you want to exercise at. You have 3 choices “very slow”, which is useful to learn the sequence of steps “slow”, which you can use to start to practice the sequence, and “normal speed” to get the footwork fluid and smooth for the real dance. Once you made your choice of speed press Play. You will now listen to a piece of Bachata music to which we superimposed a “Rhythm cue”; this plays the rhythm pattern of the actual steps in the sequence, as if the feet could make a sound. This is very useful to memorize the sequence. Now the exercise will loop forever and you can practice following the steps at your leisure and for as long as you need! The footwork is interspersed with basic steps, to learn how to get in and out of the sequence. The counter helps you time the sequence correctly and the guide on the right tells you when the basic steps occur and when to get ready for the sequence. What else could you possibly need?Finally…Don’t cut corners! Start from the “basic elements” The “arm coordination” set is crucial! to learn how to isolate the hand movements from the footwork.. We learnt how important this is in the ‘Method’ DVD. Practice those exercises carefully.. The footwork part is easy, but the coordination with the hands is not… it takes time and patience.. Don’t be lazy here!! Then, and only then, go to the “footwork” exercises This DVD is useful both for men and women since they both can improvise during the dance. Ladies, try the exercises as well.. just add more hip movement to make them more feminine; guys, don’t be tricked by the ‘Latin hips’ myth.. Wide hip movement is for women, not for men, unless ...
