| I don't why but I seem to recall that the show wasn't originally envisioned as the huge and legendary event that it became. Over time, as casting began to fall into place the already excited word-of-mouth became more and more rabid. And then I think an album deal was made. And then the PBS deal was made. In the documentary Carol Burnett says something like they all thought it was going to be an easy gig but then they realized/learned that everything was going to be documented and recorded. I could be wrong. But there is no question that this is one of the most legendary events in Broadway history. |

| Burnett herself has also told the story that she originally thought it was just going to be a recording and that not until her friend Beverly Sills told her she was "coming to see it" did she realize that it was going to be a concert event. | |

| ***Burnett herself has also told the story that she originally thought it was just going to be a recording and that not until her friend Beverly Sills told her she was "coming to see it" did she realize that it was going to be a concert event.*** I have heard/read that before, and I still don't understand how such a misunderstanding could have been remotely possible. |
