Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical is scheduled to be shown in HDTV on HBO-HD on Saturday December 28 at 4:45 PM. I hope it is the same HD video presentation we saw on PPV in March of last year . However, the HBO schedule page describes it as a "film presentation". Anyone know which one it really is?
I would think it's the same one we saw on PPV, due to the following announcement of a Broadway deal with HBO:

Jekyll and Hyde, Putting it together and Smokey Joe's Cafe just happen to be the three HD video presentations that have been done on HD-PPV over the past two years.

Broadway Goes PPV Multichannel News 12/2/2002 10:29:00 AM Fresh off a distribution deal with Home Box Office, Kay Koplovitz’s Broadway Television Network will look to offer a live pay-per-view airing of a top Broadway play in May. While BTN wouldn’t reveal the name of the play to be carried live, executives said offering a live PPV telecast will provide a major boost for both the company and the PPV-event category. HBO Signature will distribute four of BTN’s PPV events as part of a multiyear agreement, beginning Dec. 7 with Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical. Other BTN shows to air include Putting It Together, A Musical Review (Jan. 4) and Smokey Joe’s Café: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller, which will premiere in early 2003. |
