Actually, my very favorite quote of the whole movie came from the man with ALS, so I'm sorry you missed it. I'm sorry I missed his name so that I can attribute the quotation, which I've added to my list of favorites.
He said that when he got his diagnosis, he thought, "Turn into it and throttle up."
What a wonderful attitude.
As for the technical details ... it's a live satellite feed. I think any theater that does the events does them all??? There are a dozen or so live simulcasts from the Metropolitan Opera every year, and in a week or two they're broadcasting a production of Les Misérables.
