I've seen P&B twice on stage, once with Willard White, who as he proves here owns Porgy as sure as Melchior owned Siegfried and Flagstad owned Brunnhilde, and I have one question: where's the rest of it? Neither of those productions or the Houston version I had on CD clocked in at less than 3 hours, which is about twice what's offered here. Looks and sounds great but appears to come up a bit short.
I am an usher at the Gershwins Porgy and Bess on broadway. While I am not used to this kind of show(I have worked at In the Heights and Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo), it is pretty entertaining. I routinely call women Sometimes Things lol
this music is just exquisite no matter who sings it.
However, the new production--The Gershwin's Porgy and Bess on broadway featuring Audra McDonald is transcendent. She has the most magnificient voice and was born to play Bess. Astoundingly fantastic production which I saw at the ART in Cambridge,MA. opens in NYC in January.
WOW.

Is this movie in 3D ? It kind of looks like it but I don't have 3d glasses to verify.

@FADaniels0626 are you referring to the opera as a play? or do you mean the actual play that this opera is based on?
