Yes, you can. I recently purchased Purlie on DVD from "Movielead.com" after searching for it for 2 years. The cost is about $44.00. They sent it within a week's time. The video quality is not good, however. The picture is clear in places and not so clear in other places, but the music is great. Movielead said they can find ANY out-of-print Broadway Play, fyi. If anyone knows where I can purchase a "clean" copy I would be interested.
