| | Posted: | | | | Think those are the ones that have aired. I've seen articles that "Bye Bye Birdie" will be coming next year along with "Rent" and "Jesus Christ, Superstar!" NBC and FOX seem to be the two networks producing them. | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | I recall watching the broadcast in a department store window in downtown San Francisco a few years back but this is from Wikipedia:
"On March 7, 1955, NBC presented Peter Pan live as part of Producers' Showcase (with nearly all of the show's original cast) as the first full-length Broadway production on color TV."

| | Posted: | | | | Would Michael Flatley - Lord of the Dance or Riverdance qualify? Not sure if there were full stagings, but there were quite a few TV performances, especially in Britain.
And then there were at least two commemorative Les Misérables TV performances, where the story was sung with limited staging, and an international mix of performers. Not sure if this belongs on your list or not. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Not actually a musical but as a matter of trivia, in April 2000 CBS broadcast a live version of "Fail Safe" which at the time was the first live teleplay from them in 39 years. |
