Anybody else heard anything on this? Could this start a rash of theatrical videos if it's successful? I can imagine several musical numbers that would look pretty good on MTV, but I'm afraid that if they did become popular, playwrights and composer/lyricists might start gearing their material down to that audience. -- Mark A. ...uw-beaver!ssc-vax!adolph "Computers are like preppies: they just boil around in their own way and you have to do things their way or they blow you off."
