Late to this, but ITV2 in the UK showed Fox's Grease over the weekend, and I must admit that I quite enjoyed it, even with a little judicious fast-forwarding. Really good use of a large studio lot, and some very impressive dance routines.
ITV did try a live version of The Sound of Music just before Christmas which I didn't see, but for the most part, it has been the primetime soaps - Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale - that have done big live episodes in the UK, usually for anniversaries and big story reveals. Anyway, I've not seen it explicitly referenced here but there's a video doing the rounds posted by Associate Director Carrie Havel taken in the control room of her counting the beats (and bars) and the pre-ordained shot list. Someone has spliced this together with the relevant track from the show on YouTube, and if you've not seen it, it's well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP2QOmN57iU There's a nice little interview on Ken Levine's site with her talking about what she was doing and hot it works. Seemingly it originated over here with the likes of Strictly Come Dancing (aka Dancing with the Stars). Anyway, worth a read: http://kenlevine.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/how-they-shot-grease-live.html (And yes, Blogspot changes auto-magically to .co.uk for this side of the pond) Adam On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 1:53 AM, stannc <sta...@gmail.com> wrote: > Why Disney isn't doing "Beauty and the Beast" love on ABC is beyond me. > > > -Stan > > -- > -- > TV or Not TV ....
