La Bohème Press Junket
Video (click for link)
Broadway.com
18 November 2002
These days, all eyes are on Baz Luhrmann's
production of Puccini's La Bohème, which opens at the Broadway Theatre on December 8.
Thanks to the lure of Luhrmann, who became a Hollywood darling earlier this year thanks to
the Oscar-winning success of his movie musical Moulin Rouge, the show is already garnering
lots of international attention before performances have even begun. On November 18,
Broadway.com had a chance to meet up with Baz, his designer wife Catherine Martin and
Bohème's international cast of cuties at a press junket at the Millennium Hotel in
Manhattan.
It then lets you select either Windows Media Player or Real Player at high or low
bandwith to play a short video featuring interviews with Baz!
