The last paragraph states:

“ Ultimately, I can’t recommend Paper Mill’s musical version of The Honeymooners to musical lovers unless they have a special interest. But for those who love the sitcom as I do, this is a fun thing to add to your collection — with plenty to enjoy for what it is — and I hope that as you listen, you’ll also be reading my new book, where The Honeymooners is a seminal point of discussion as one of the few 1950s shows that’s up there with I Love Lucy in terms of its continued cultural relevance, as evidenced by this musical adaptation, a tribute to the joy it continues to inspire.”

I wonder what he means by “fun thing to add to your collection.”?

Likely that it would be difficult to get through if you're not a hardcore fan/collector.

This play was not available on dvd and home media. I wonder if he has a dvd of hand cam footage of it. What do you think?

I'd guess he has one of those vanity copies that circulate. One of the guys I used to get "boots" from (jonesdvd.com was it?? And the old IOffer..) had tons of 'em-- audio and video versions of stage shows.
