...that resembled one from that era it would look dated and out of place in today's landscape. I truly, honestly appreciate NBC's willingness to take a big risk like this. It's exciting to see them shake things up and to try something new (which, obviously, is actually very old), but in 2015 this type of viewing experience feels so sterile and remote to me. It's so odd to see someone sing a bit showstopper and then there's just nothing. Silence.

If you've seen how much they've spent on these last two productions, it would cost just as much to mount a fully staged Broadway quality production with a live audience. As the National Theatre cinema screenings have shown, it is possible to film a production in front of a live audience AND make it engaging on film/video.
