after seeing this masterpiece I realy grew fond of such shows.but I can't o to the actual theatre or operahouse.could u recommend more released shows?
there r no shortcuts in life.every shortcut leads to consequences that make us stray from our path
Sadly -- no.
The majority of great shows have never been staged and professionally filmed like this one was. "Les Miserables" also showed in the Royal Albert Hall, but tragically, it wasn't a full-on production; everyone just stood around on the stage and sang instead of acting it out.
I can't vouch for "Cats," but some say it is good. I think it's been filmed on the stage as well.
Of course, there are a LOT of movies made off of musicals -- Chicago, Nine, etc... but they're movies.

The "last" performance of Rent was released on DVD. Jerry Springer the opera was released on dvd (though if you're particularly sensitive to anyone not giving religion 100% support and respect, or naughty language, you migh wantto give that a miss).
Rent didn't just film the live performance though, they did a run through in an empty theatre so they could get various camera angles and close ups and I think it is better for it, and kinda wished they did something like that for POTO.
I'm sure there are other live performance dvds, but those are the ones I have so spring to mind immediately.
Look, I'm sorry I called you an inanimate object earlier. I was angry.
You might enjoy Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods. It was filmed in 1991 and is on DVD.
