Product Description
Recorded and broadcast live from New York City's Broadway Theater at the culmination of his historic 2002 sold-out tour, the Robin Williams "Live on Broadway" DVD finds the Oscar-winning actor/writer/comedian returning after 16 years to his stand-up roots to deliver what the Washington Post calls "...in its madcap way, a seminal cultural event."
"A report on the planet and a report from the planet for those watching from outer space," this DVD puts you front row at the comedy event - where "Williams pranced, flounced, minced, pounced, zigzagged, hip-hopped, whirled and twirled, talking nonstop about everything from surgically enhanced breasts to the great anthrax scare."
"Live on Broadway" captures the manic comic energy of Robin Williams in full hurrican force.
As First Seen on HBO.

Running Time: 126 Min., Color.

Sharper and deeper than Robin Williams's previous road material, Live on Broadway is a mature comedian's view of all things to do with power, prejudice, and paranoia in the 21st century. On the anthrax scare of 2001: "The Senate cleared out of their building but told the rest of us, 'Get on with your normal lives!'" On his solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over Jerusalem: "Time share!" On the pitfalls of America's deepening alliance with Britain: "The House of Commons is like Congress with a two-drink minimum." A viewer may have to slog through Williams's tedious breast fetishism, but patience is quickly rewarded with bitchy takes on Martha Stewart facing prison, solid satire about French existentialist judges at the Olympics, and subversive op-eds about the Bush administration's inability to clarify terrorist threats to the public ("Has the CIA become the Central Intuitive Agency?"). --Tom Keogh

Side splittingly funny.......2007-08-26
Robin Williams at his best. I have watched this many times since I have purchased it and it never gets old.
Robbie rules!.......2007-08-25
Great show from the greatest comedian! I laughed the entire show through - only one thing could have brrn better: to be there on Broadway.
Pricing? Cheap, even with the shipping to me in Sweden.
Shipping? Fast, to be from US to Sweden.
Laugh your butt off funny .......2007-08-13
I am biased--Robin is my most-favorite comedian and has been since the days of Mork. I love him and am totally jealous of the way his mind works.
He is simply amazingly brilliant and this show is excellent. Robin cuts right to the essence of whatever situation he's talking about--sex, politics, war, relationships, etc. and smacks you in the face with the hilarious truth about it.
Even at middle-age, Robin has boundless energy and rapid-fire synapses as he leaps from one great bit to another.
This show is over way too soon--you'll want Robin to keep making you laugh!
Hold your applause please........2007-08-11
I am a big fan of Robin Williams - his stand-up and movies. But this DVD was not up to his usual standards. It was from the early 90s, but I don't know how that would be detrimental. It just wasn't up to par. Sorry, Robin. But I'm still a fan.
The Hairiest man alive is, coincedentally, the funniest man alive........2007-05-14
This is most likely the second funniest performance I have ever watched. It's amazing that this man can sweat through an hour and a half of constant hilarity. The noises reel made my stomach hurt. On a whole, this is good for anyone who likes to bellow like a charging rhino, or just laugh a lot.
