I too prefer live theater, especially musicals, over recorded movies. I recorded this play off the TV YEARS ago when my children were small. I have been transferring old tapes to DVD ever since I got a DVD recorder 3 years ago for Christmas, in my spare time. I love reminiscing over the old TV shows and movies I had forgotten about from days gone by.
I wish Disney had produced more shows like this for television, as it is a dying art. I am glad I have been able to preserve this rare production for future generations in our family to enjoy.
As the other reviewers have stated, if you can get your hands on a copy of this production, don't hesitate to watch it again & again!
