Fox Musicals---> August 19th!
First time releases for:
All That Jazz

The Rose

Looks like a re-issue for The Commitments, but looks like we still don't get a widescreen version! Drat!

WOW! Simon & Garfunkel and The Commitments are must-buys for me--I've been temped by the ebay prices for The Commitments lately, so this rerelease will save me about $140.

Are the first-time releases all OAR?
P.S. - All That Jazz - Fox marketing must have worked overtime to realize they could ride on the coattails of Chicago</i< which comes out the same time.

According to DVDFile, each of them will have a $14.95 SRP. 
But All That Jazz is the only one they list specs for:

Last but not least is a lineup of modern musical classics sure to make fans trip the light fantastic. August 19th will see the long-awaited DVD release of Bob Fosse's All That Jazz, which features a remastered 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and an English 2.0 Dolby surround track, plus a screen-specific audio commentary by Roy Scheider, additional new interviews, a film clip montage and the theatrical trailer. Retail is a mere $14.95. Also included in this musical promotion are first-ever DVD releases of The Rose, Hello Dolly, Star!, a new reissue of The Commitments and Simon & Garfunkel Concert in Central Park. All are newly remastered and retail for a cheap $14.95. Watch this space for more...

Finally! As the song says...."It's so nice to have you back where you belong"! In addition to "Hello, Dolly!", come August 19th, I'll be getting "All That Jazz", "The Rose", and Julie Andrews as the "Star!".

Problem is it's got the same old catalog number...when a new version comes out, the old number is retired! I'd love a widescreen version, as well!

I'm interested in Hello Dolly, but I'm not sure a thumbs up is in order yet. At that low MSRP I can't imagine this is going to be anything but barebones. Hopefully the picture and sound will be good at a minimum.

ATJ is great great great. If you like Fosse, or Roy Scheider, or great dance pieces, you should love it. It's also a great musical for those that chafe at the idea of people bursting into song at any given moment. The musical numbers are integrated seamlessly into the pseudo-autobiography.

I love All That Jazz. It may be my favorite musical.
Actually, I don't even really think of it as a musical (although it clearly is), I think because of how well the singing and dancing are integrated into the movie.
