Petition to release The Boy from Oz (Broadway) on DVD/VHS

Hello from New York City!

The fans of "The Boy From Oz" (starring one of your more stellar exports -- Hugh Jackman!!) are petitioning the producers to record the show on DVD. Since it would be an excellent way to share Mr. Jackman's performance with theater goers all over the world, we ask that you help us by signing the petition. The link is:

I know it is a longshot to get this done (though shows have been
released in the past - Victor / Victoria, J&H, the recent London
production of Oklahoma starring...what's his name...LOL) but in a month we've collected almost 4,000 signatures (including a cast member or two and several of their family members - talk about an ultimate home movie). There's obviously a healthy bit of interest.

This could also help motivate producers to release more shows on DVD -
nothing will replace live theater but it is a chance for those who
are unable to attend for whatever reason (financial, geographical,
etc) to experience a bit of theater magic...

Thanks for reading this far and remember...if you're gonna live, LIVE!

Hi Lizzy,

Each person will make up their mind according to their desire/fear of releasing personal info to someone on the internet who has approached them blindly. Or on a public forum like this.

I meant no offence to you personally, but I have seen so many email-farming scams come and go over the years, I think it is wise to exercise extreme personal caution around this kind of unsolicited approach. (Particularly if you *HATE* spam).

Nice pic of you and Hugh, though... ever thought of posting it to your website?
