My Favourite Things: The R&H Concert/Cinema/Sky Arts

And it's actually listed in the TV guide now! That's a big step up from last time. 😂 Still won't get too excited until I'm actually watching it and not an Eagles concert.

Wonderful that's its on the sky planner and at 2 hours 40 the UK seems to be getting the whole show , 30 mins of adverts but better than a edited version.

The blu-ray does not seem to be on Amazon UK yet but did find a German site advertising it so looks like it will be region free even if it's a American only release. Seller Ravewaves on ebay always seem a great option for American only release both cds and blu-rays.

Where is the DVD available for purchase?

Think that’s an American release. The American bluray is on US Amazon here www.amazon.com/My-Favorite-Things-Hammerstein-Anniversary/dp/B0D1VNM7DN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1M1BII37UZHPL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NVAb_MqB3tXohokytwR7bg.irrwdPOdZ85lyeuSBD9Xq2yDPiFa4CacQdOSPmiUav4&dib_tag=se&keywords=my+favorite+things+blu-ray&qid=1716400675&sprefix=My+favorite+things+blu%2Caps%2C347&sr=8-1

 but there’s no way of knowing if it’ll play on UK players.

Well…Ovenden was good, AJ was ace and Jo Ampil impressed, but the rest was a bit of a snoozefest, but I wouldn’t call myself an old-school musicals kind of dude.

I’ve only watched up to the interval so far, but from what I remember of the cinema screening I think they trimmed the speeches quite a bit. I specifically remember being cut is the at the end of Rita Moreno’s story about her being cast in The King and I over an actual Asian actress. She got a round of applause when she said “I got the part”, but the whole point of the story was that she shouldn’t have been cast as an Asian, so they cut the applause.

She also had a joke when she was swatting away a fly or moth or whatever, and she said something like “that Chita Rivera gets everywhere!”

They’ve cut it a little bit more then. The ALW story about Oklahoma! originally being called Away We Go! and him having one of the original posters up in his office was in the cinema screening, as was Rita Moreno’s story about Deborah Kerr’s knickers.

I've seen a couple of posts online today to say the music is available to stream today on all platforms but I can't did it on Apple. Anyone had any luck?

Doesn’t show up if you look for My Favourite Things but if you search for “rodgers 80th” it should.

Also took ages and several attempts, but just found it!

Bit odd since they just released it via pay for streaming and physical cds but the official R&H site has now posted the full album on YouTube for free.
There is even a chapter list to jump between tracks.

If you missed it first time it's being repeated on Sky Arts 9.30pm tonight (Monday).
