Just want to give a BIG shoutout to Marisa over at Theatre Trading. She was kind enough to gift me two videos that I lost. I don't believe she's trading at the moment- but if you get the chance, go check out her Wants list and contact her if you have anything she's looking for. :)

Videos
13: The Musical (12/29/09)
OBC with Elizabeth Gillies, Delaney Moro, Allie Trimm, Graham Philips, Ariana Grande, etc.
Very good quality, you can tell that it was filmed at an angle and there is some washout and bouncing here and there, but overall- very watchable and the show is a lot of fun!
The video is 1:23:50 long.
The 39 Steps (06/13/09)
Broadway Revival with Sean Mahon, Jill Paice, Jeffrey Kuhn, & Arnie Burton.
Picture is a little dark but still a great capture. Nice camera work and good clarity. The show is truly HYSTERICAL! The cast is very talented.
The video is 1:35:20 long.

The Addams Family (12/27/09)
Pre-Broadway with Nathan Lane, Bebe Neuwirth, Terrence Mann, Carolee Carmello, Wesley Taylor, Kevin Chamberlin, & Krysta Rodriguez.
Great video, unless you're very picky, I can't see anything wrong with it. Very clear, minimal to no bouncing, follows the action very well, a little wandering- otherwise it's perfect quality.
The video is 1:54:30 long.
The Addams Family (03/12/10)
OBC with Nathan Lane, Bebe Neuwirth, Terrence Mann, Carolee Carmello, Wesley Taylor, Kevin Chamberlin, & Krysta Rodriguez.
One of my favourite videos! A couple blackouts and a sometimes at the beginning of a new scene, it takes minute for it to focus, but otherwise, really great. There is some bouncing and you can tell that it was filmed at an angle. I wasn't sure how I was going to like the show, but I actually love it— story was a little odd, but the cast was phenomenal!
The video is 2:15:25 long.
The Addams Family (11/30/11) **NO SMALL FILES**
Broadway replacement with Roger Rees, Brooke Shields, Heidi Blickenstaff, Adam Grupper, Brad Oscar, Rachel Potter, Adam Riegler, & Jesse Swenson.
Very good clarity and when the cameras not wandering, there's no bouncing. The new cast is very different from the old cast and there were some beneficial changes to the script.
The video is 1:19:02 long.

Annie (10/15/12)
Broadway Revival with Lilla Crawford, Katie Finneran, Anthony Warlow, Brynn O’Malley, Clarke Thorell, & J. Elaine Marcos.
Radiant clarity (shot in HD) and very little bouncing! At the beginning, it takes a bit to focus and there are (only a couple) moments where it pans off the action or has some obstruction, but otherwise, it's a perfect video. Lilla is beautiful as Annie and Katie is a riot as Miss Hannigan! I honestly did not have very high expectations at first (I figured, if you've seen Annie once, you've seen it a hundred times) but this is truly a great production. Props to the director!
The video is 1:56:51 long.
Annie Get Your Gun (1999)
Broadway Revival with Bernadette Peters & Tom Wopat.
Great video for its time. The picture suffers from generation loss a bit but you can still make everything out just fine. The camera is kept basically steady and the show is wonderful. Bernadette is fun and full of personality and Tom is powerful as Frank Butler.
The video is 2:19:08 long.

OBC with Emilia Clarke, Cory Michael Smith, George Wendt, James Yaegashi, Suzanne Bertish, John Rothman, Tony Torn, & Lee Wilkof.
Top-notch. Amazing camera work and picture quality. Great zooms, super clear picture. The show is brilliant! Emilia is beautiful as Holly and the ensemble is very strong as well. Highly recommended!
Exact length TBA
Bye Bye Birdie (09/16/09)
Broadway Revival with John Stamos, Gina Gershon, Bill Irwin, Nolan Gerard Funk, Dee Hoty, Jayne Houdyshell, Allie Trimm, & Matt Doyle.
Great quality video! The action is followed very well and there are basically no flaws. The colour and clarity is very good. The show itself is also good. The first act, I felt, was a little slow, but the second act really picked up! Allie is sweet and charming as Kim McAfee.
The video is 2:03:10 long.
Cabaret (1995) PROSHOT
Bad Hersfeld production with Pia Douwes, Peter Heinrich, Witta Pohl, & Annika Bruchs.
Dialogue is in German, some songs are in German, some are in English. Great great video! Pia is truly a star.
Exact length TBA
Cabaret (1999) *VERY RARE
US Tour with Teri Hatcher, Norbert Leo Butz, Dick Latessa, Barbara Andres, Rick Holmes, Andy Taylor, Jeanine Morick, Jessica Perizzo, Alison Ewing, & Lisa Ferguson.
From 37:32 - 1:28:46 is black out and the rest of the video is pretty fuzzy. However, it's a cast of outstanding performers! Teri Hatcher surprised me, she was truly incredibly as Sally.
The video is 1:58:30 long.
Cabaret (06/18/02) *RARE
Broadway Revival replacement with Jane Leeves, John Stamos, Polly Bergen, & Hal Linden.
WIP
Cabaret (09/27/08)
UK tour with Wayne Sleep, Samantha Barks, Jenny Logan, Matt Zimmerman, Henry Luxemburg, Karl Moffatt, Suanne Braun, Theo Cook, & Danni Bowen.
Act one and ten minutes of act two only.
Some shakiness and wandering (which can be annoying at times) but otherwise a fine video. Samantha really shows her versatility in the role of Sally Bowles. The set is pretty bare and the costumes aren't anything outstanding, but I love that because, like Chicago, it allows you to focus on the story and the performances.
The video is 1:16:00 long.
Carrie: The Musical (10/10/13)
Seattle production with Alice Ripley, Keaton Whittaker, Kendra Kassebaum, Larissa Schmitz, Kody Bringman, and Tessa Archer.
Based on the revised off-Broadway version.

Broadway Revival with Scarlett Johansson, Benjamin Walker, Ciaran Hinds, Debra Monk, Emily Bergl, Tanya Birl, Will Cobbs, Jordan Dean, Vin Knight, Michael Park, Brian Reddy, Lance Roberts, Cherene Snow.
Visually gorgeous show. The set and costumes are breathtaking, the picture is crystal clear, and the camera work is wonderful. There's a bit of background noise but otherwise the audio is fine. Each actor gives 110% to their performance.
The video is 1:45:42 long.
Chess (09/22/03) PROSHOT .AVI
Actor’s Fund concert with Julia Murney, Adam Pascal, Josh Groban, Raúl Esparza, Norm Lewis, Jonathan Dokuchitz, & Sutton Foster.
Very dark and not great clarity, but not bad. Because it is a multi-camera proshot, the camera work is great. The cast is pure perfection. Julia is out of this world incredible and of course Adam is a force to be reckoned with!
The video is 1:54:43 long.
Chicago (1992) *RARE -- IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT! LOST THIS DURING HARD DRIVE FIASCO. PLS CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE!
Pre-Broadway Revival with Bebe Neuwirth, Juliet Prowse, Gary Sandy, & Kaye Ballard.
The technical quality is terrible, but the show itself is really cool to see! The show does not run straight through, there are several skips and a few misplaced clips. Also, the picture is very fuzzy and has a lot of washout issues. However, aside from not being able to see facial expressions, you can always tell what's going on because you can at least partially make everything out. It's very interesting to compare this to the revival. The choreography is different (still by Ann Reinking though), the costumes are different (including Bebe's wig), and of course, the cast is different. Overall, definitely a video worth having if you are a fan of Chicago.
This video is 2:00:40 long.
Chicago (1995) - PROSHOT with time code bar at the bottom
Broadway Revival with Bebe Neuwirth, Ann Reinking, Joel Grey, Marcia Lewis, & James Naughton.
The same video that many of the clips on YouTube are from. There are a couple small skips here and there, but besides that, it's a fabulous video. About 90% of the show. There is a bit of hissing but it shouldn't be a major distraction unless you're picky. Suffers from generation loss and some wandering, otherwise fine. Ann and Bebe are perfection as Roxie and Velma.
The actual show is over by 1:40:30, then there are some repeated clips (My Own Best Friend, My Baby & Me, etc.) until 2:07:11.
Chicago (1997) - PROSHOT -- IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT! LOST THIS DURING HARD DRIVE FIASCO. PLS CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE!
West End Revival press reel with Ruthie Henshall, Ute Lemper, & Nigel Planner.
Gorgeous video. Perfect clarity especially for its age. Ruthie and Ute are a perfect pairing. Contains: All That Jazz, Roxie, We Both Reached For the Gun, All I Care About, Mr. Cellophane, Hot Honey Rag.
The video is 24:44 long.

Netherlands production with Pia Douwes, Simone Kleinsma, & Stanley Burleson.
WIP
Chicago (06/13/01)
West End Revival replacement with Leigh Zimmerman, Denise Van Outen, Michael Simkins, & Susannah Fellows.
A good video to have if you are a Chicago collector. There is a lot of washout, obstruction, and the picture is pretty fuzzy but the performances are marvellous! Leigh doesn't have the greatest singing voice but she's gorgeous to look at, an amazing dancer, and a good actor. Denise is also a cute Roxie. Not necessarily anything special, but adequate.
The video is 1:57:12 long.
Chicago (08/14/03)
West End Revival replacement with Ruthie Henshall, Linzi Hately, Rolf Saxon, Norman Pace, & Zee Asha.
Pretty good video, especially for its time. A little shaky, has a tendency to wander, and heads in the audience are sometimes visible at the bottom of the screen, otherwise great! There are some really good closeups, the clarity is surprisingly decent, and the audio is perfect. Now, I'm not usually a fan of Ruthie but she was definitely dynamic as Velma— a very good role for her! Linzi, who I'd never heard of before this video, was fantastic as Roxie! She understands the role of Roxie very deeply and is able to portray the many layers of the character beautifully.
The video is 2:01:02 long.

Chicago (5/10/04*) IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT! LOST THIS DURING HARD DRIVE FIASCO. PLS CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE!
Broadway Revival replacement with Pia Douwes, Belle Callaway, Roz Ryan, PJ Benjamin, Tom Wopat, & D. Sabella.
Starts at "Come on babe, why don't we paint the town..." so you barely miss anything. The camera work could be better. Some wandering, obstruction, and a bit of shakiness. Otherwise, the clarity and colour of the video are actually amazing. Also, the cast is outstanding! Pia is a firecracker as Velma! And Belle does an amazing job as Roxie, she understands the role in a way that very few Roxie's really do. Now, I do not recommend this video unless you are a collector of Chicago videos or are a fan of anyone in the cast because there are other videos of better technical quality that would be easier to watch.
The video is 1:41:32 long.
Chicago (11/23/05) IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT! LOST THIS DURING HARD DRIVE FIASCO. PLS CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE!
US Tour with Paige Davis, Brenda Braxton, Tom Wopat, & Carol Woods.
Love it! Good technical quality. Aside from a couple blackouts, a little wandering, and a little shakiness at some parts, great camera work. Paige is adorable as Roxie! She has an unusual singing voice but her acting talent is radiant on stage.
The video is 1:59:56 long.
Chicago (5/27/07) IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT! LOST THIS DURING HARD DRIVE FIASCO. PLS CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE!
Broadway Revival replacement with Joey Lawrence, Bianca Marroquin, Brenda Braxton, Rob Bartlett, Carol Woods, & R. Lowe.
Fantastic colour and clarity, and great camera work. One blackout during Roxie's monologue would be the only major issue (it's brief.) Bianca is one of my favourite Roxie's, her interpretation is unique and she's very talented.
Exact length TBA
Chicago (03/27/08) IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT! LOST THIS DURING HARD DRIVE FIASCO. PLS CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE!
West End Revival replacement with Pia Douwes, Frances Ruffelle, Alex Bourne, & Zee Asha.
As always, Pia is a fireball! I wasn't particularly moved by Frances, but she was adequate. The video is surprisingly very good (there are very few Chicago videos of very good technical quality.) A little bit of shakiness (not much), and some obstruction from bodies in the audience (again, not too much.) Otherwise, the closeups are fantastic and the picture is very crisp.
Two discs.
Chicago (10/25/11)
Broadway Revival replacement with Kara DioGuardi, Amra-Faye Wright, Tony Yazbeck, James Harkness, & James T. Lane.
Aside from being filmed at an angle, this is a great video. All That Jazz is not filmed too well, and the full stage shots tend to be problematic. However, it's still very watchable. The clarity is great and once the camera is settled, it films very well. Also, for a show that's been running for nearly 20 years, it's still as fierce as ever!
The video is 2:03:49 long.
Chicago (11/17/12)
Broadway Revival replacement with Amra-Faye Wright, Amy Spanger, Billy Ray Cyrus, Brian O'Brien, Carol Woods, & Cory English.
All that Jazz is audio only. Otherwise absolutely perfect. No obstructions, amazing clarity, and fantastic camera work! Amy Spanger is a good Roxie and Billy Ray is surprisingly a good Billy Flynn. This is THE Chicago video to get if you are looking for one because the technical quality is nearly perfect.
Exact length TBA
Chicago (07/26/13) **NO SMALL FILES**
Hollywood Bowl with Ashlee Simpson, Samantha Barks, Stephen Moyer, Drew Carey, Lucy Lawless, & D. Tablak.
Picture is just a little bit blurry (not enough to be a distraction) but otherwise great. Really nice camera work. Very visually appealing show. Love the red and black theme. I enjoyed Ashlee's performance and Samantha was good as well. However, I do personally prefer to see these characters played by women a little bit older than the two. Probably my second best video as far as technical quality goes.
Two discs.
A Chorus Line (09/30/06)
WIP
Cinderella (03/02/13)
Broadway Revival with Laura Osnes, Santino Fontana, Victoria Clark, & Harriet Hansom Harris.
The video clarity is AMAZING (it was shot in HD) and there are some great closeups. There is an instance during "The Prince is Giving a Ball" where the person recording has to block the screen (probably because an usher was approaching or something) and then it takes a couple more minutes to focus again, but otherwise, the quality of the video is practically perfect. I am generally not a fan of the score but I actually really enjoyed this production. Laura O. is beautiful (facially AND vocally), William Ivey Long's costumes are stellar, and I found the changes that they made to the story really improved it!
Two discs.

OBC with Crystal A. Dickinson, Brendan Griffin, Damon Gupton, Christina Kirk, Annie Parisse, Jeremy Shamos & Frank Wood.
Good video. Clarity isn't as good as it could be but it's not too bad. The camera is kept very still and there are no closeups but there are no obstructions either. The play is extremely thought provoking, all the actors are wonderful.
The video is 1:44:55 long.
Company (06/15/02)
Sondheim Celebration with Alice Ripley, Emily Skinner, Lynn Redgrave, John Barrowman, & Matt Bogard.
Very good video. Good camera work and decent picture (considering its time.) No major issues. Focuses on the action well and has good closeups. The show is quirky and fun, definitely worth seeing!
The video is 2:13:12 long.

West End replacement with Bob Martin, Elaine Paige, Summer Strallen, John Partridge, Joseph Alessi, & Anne Rogers.
Producer's archive of final dress rehearsal. Has two minutes missing: one before Stumble Along and another after Live is Always Lovely.
Just fantastic! A bit of wandering and some problems with washout, but otherwise, an outstanding video! The show is really funny and Summer is a super star. Final dress rehearsal.
The video is 1:13:57 long.
End of the Rainbow (01/29/2012) *NO SMALL FILES
Pre-Broadway with Tracie Bennett, Michael Cumpsty, Tom Pelphrey, & Jay Russell.
A must-see. Fantastic technical quality— great picture and camera work. Aside from a little hissing (you get used to it, it's really not loud enough to bother you) probably as good as a bootleg recording could possibly be. Tracie does a magnificent job of transforming herself into Judy Garland. The whole show is "tragically beautiful." The director had a beautiful vision that was really captivating on stage.
The video is 1:53:12 long.
Evita (1995) *Dutch/Nederlands
Holland production with Pia Douwes, Bill van Dijk, Jeroen Pfaff, & Marleen van der Loo.
Filmed on a tripod. Generation loss is the main glitch but otherwise no technical issues. Really good zooms. Pia is glorious as Eva Peron!
The video is 2:02:10 long.

Evita (08/17/08)
Music Circus production with Julia Murney, Eric Kunze, Scott Blanks, Philip Michael Baskerville, & Kari Yancy.
Very good clarity, some brief obstructions, but nothing too bad. The show was performed on a circular stage so there are a lot of different angles. Julia Murney is a powerful Eva Peron, this is definitely a must-have for any fan of Evita or Julia!
The video is 1:41:01 long.

Follies (1998) .MP4 - PROSHOT **SEEKING VOB- CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE IT**
Papermill Playhouse production with Kaye Ballard, Dee Hoty, Donna McKechnie, Ann Miller, Phyllis Newman, & Tony Roberts.
Perfect capture. Outstanding quality (especially for its age!) Perfect clarity. Unfortunately, because it is MP4, it tends to get a little pixely when you enlarge the video. The production is lovely though, Sally is a perfect role for McKechnie.
The video is 2:10:04 long.
Follies (09/18/11) **NO SMALL FILES** LOST
Broadway Revival with Bernadette Peters, Jan Maxwell, Danny Burstein, Rod Raines, & Elaine Paige.
Sheer perfection. Beautiful clarity, fantastic closeups, and no washout, wandering, or bouncing at all! This is a very enjoyable show. It has the perfect mix of entertaining jazzy numbers and deep, raw emotional scenes. Each cast member really contributes something special to the show.
The video is 2:13:21 long.

The Frogs (05/20/74) *VERY RARE
Off-Broadway with Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver, Joan Berlinger, Larry Blyden, Peter Bogyo, Alma Cuervo, & Jeremy Dempsey.
Buzzing sound, fuzzy picture, colour is practically in brown tones. Interestingly enough though, the camera work is good. Of course the performances are great and the score is very "Sondheim." Performed in the Yale University pool area and gymnasium. This is the first performance of this musical. Filmed using one camera on a tripod.
The video is 1:45:55 long.
Funny Girl (09/23/02) - PROSHOT
Actors Fund Benefit Concert with Bebe Neuwirth, Sutton Foster, Idina Menzel, Ricki Lake, Spencer Kayden, Kristin Chenoweth, LaChanze, Julia Murney, Ana Gasteyer, Lilias White, Jane Krakowski, Alice Playten, Judy Kuhn, Whoopie Goldberg, Andrea Martin, Carolee Carmello, & Peter Gallagher.
Thrilling production! Each Fanny has one scene (usually with a musical number) that utilizes their personal strengths. Very good colour and clarity, especially for being from the early 2000's. Idina Menzel, Judy Kuhn, and Julia Murney were definitely the strongest in the cast. BTW there is another video of this that suffers from generation loss, this does not.

The show is 2:09:08 long, and then there is 11:47 of 02/14/09.

Absolutely darling show! The play replicates "you" being at a live taping of two episodes of the show including commercials between scenes. Technical quality is excellent it was shot in HD and the camera work is GREAT. A must have if you are an ILL fan like I am. Cheesy but a has lot of heart.

The video is 21:19 long.

First preview on Broadway. Probably one of the best quality videos I've ever seen. The picture is crystal clear, the colour is perfect, and the focus is amazing! The show is a ton of fun— rockin' score by Cyndi Lauper, great book by Harvey Fierstein, and great energy from the cast!

New Haven CT with Rex Smith, Rachel York, Nancy Anderson, & Chuck Wagner.
First minute or 2 is audio. Obstruction is rather annoying in some parts but unless you really have a problem with it, it shouldn't take away too much from your enjoyment. It's not a constant issue as much of the show is in closeup. The performances are great. Kiss Me Kate is not one of my favourite shows but I genuinely enjoyed this well done production. Rachel York is just great!
Show is over by 2:21:21 and then there's fuzz until 243:37.

Little Me (1982) *VERY RARE
Broadway Revival with James Coco, Victor Garber, Mary Gordon Murray, Gibby Brand, Don Correia, Bebe Neuwirth, Henry Sutton, Stephen Berger.
One of only 36 performances.
Decent video for its time. Suffers from generation loss- pretty fuzzy, but not so much that you can't tell what's going on. However, there are a couple times when the video goes completely blizzard and you miss some of the show. The camera work is decent, a little bouncing and not many really good closeups, but otherwise fine. The show itself is fun. Catchy songs, cute choreography, interesting costumes. I think the reason it ran so short was because it was dated but overall it's a very enjoyable show.
The video is 2:18:01 long.

North Shore Music Theatre production with Donna Mckechnie, Jeff McCarthy, Merle Louise, Chuck Wagner, Diana Canova, & Natasha Ashworth.
A bit of generation loss, otherwise perfect. Donna brings a lot of herself to the role of Désirée, making her different from any other actor's interpretation. Donna portrays a much softer Désirée which works for her. The girls playing Anne and Fredrika weren't particularly impressive, but the rest of the cast was very strong.
The video is 3:54:32 long.
A Little Night Music (03/26/03) **NO SMALL FILES**
New York City Opera production with Jeremy Irons, Juliet Stevenson, Claire Bloom, Anna Kendrick, Danny Gurwin, Jessica Bowers, Mark Kurdisch, Michele Pawk, & Jessica Boevers.
Picture is a little dark, the audio isn't great (isn't terrible either- you can still hear it), but the cast is excellent and the costuming is especially nice.
Exact length TBA
A Little Night Music (05/04/10*)
Broadway Revival with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Alexander Hanson, Angela Lansbury, & Keaton Whittaker (NOT Katherine Doherty.)
Filmed from the balcony. Aside from a couple VERY minor obstructions, a great video. Catherine was surprisingly a very good Désirée, Angela is witty and elegant as always, and Keaton Whittaker is the best of the three girls that alternated Fredrika.
The video is 2:35:19 long.
A Little Night Music (09/04/10) LOST
Broadway Revival replacement with Bernadette Peters, Elaine Stritch, Aaron Lazaar, & Katherine McNamara (NOT Keaton Whittaker.)
The video is great quality, very well filmed. Good clarity, some wandering, as well as a couple obstructions and blackouts— but not too bad. Just make sure it's on 16:9 ratio aspect. The show itself is a masterpiece. The whole cast is truly marvelous and the set and costumes are exquisite! The video includes some interviews and news about the new cast.
The video is 2:48:31 long.
Little Shop of Horrors July 1 2015
Encores Jane Gyllenaal and Ellen Greene
Love Never Dies (04/29/10)
OWEC with Ramin Karimloo, Sierra Boggess, Joseph Millson, & Liz Robertson.
A good video. Some washout, some blurriness, but not too bad. The set is gorgeous, the cast is great, the action is followed pretty well. While I'm personally not a fan of the show, it's still very interesting to see. Sierra is beautiful and Ramin is stunning.
The video is 1:41:35 long.
Marguerite (06/08/07) - PROSHOT *VERY RARE
Rehearsal with Ruthie Henshall, Julian Ovenden, & Alexander Hanson.
Beautiful but heartbreaking show. Even without the set and the costumes, the beauty of the show is evident in this video. From the team that brought us Les Mis, comes this unfortunately underrated masterpiece. Highly recommended.
The video is 1:40:28 long.
Master Class (06/14/11)
Broadway Revival with Tyne Daly, Sierra Boggess, Clinton Brandhagen, Jeremy Cohen, Alexandra Siber, & Garrett Sorenson.
Filmed at an angle but good camera work as it doesn't have to move much to follow the action. The show is based around the performances and not an elaborate set which I always love. Cast is full of pros that contribute to a fantastic show! First preview. Also includes reviews, opening night coverage and cast/creative interviews.
Exact length TBA
Matilda (03/06/13)
OBC with Oona Laurence, Bertie Carvel, Gabriel Egbert, Lesli Margherita, Lauren Ward, & Ryan Steele.
Top-notch production! The set, the costumes, the score, the book, and the cast all make for a very unique and entertaining show. Aside from a couple blackouts and bodies being in the picture a few times (not in the way of the stage), the video is glorious. Oona is a real gem, she's amazingly talented and super cute!
Two discs.
Matilda (03/13/13)
OBC with Sophia Gennusa, Bertie Carvel, Lauren Ward, Gabriel Ebert, Lesli Margherita, & Ryan Steele.
Same technical quality as above video. Sophia brings something very different to Matilda than Oona, both are outstanding!

Broadway Revival with Al Pacino, Lily Rabe, Byron Jennings, Gerry Bamman, Heather Lind, Matthew Rauch, Richard Topol, Christopher Fitzgerald, David Harbour, David Aaron Baker, Stephanie Blake, Peter Francis James, Isaiah Johnson, Charles Kimbrough, & Michael Hammond.
Very clear picture and action is basically followed well. Only "issue" would be heads at the bottom (does not block anything important during the show, just may be a minor distraction.) The show is very well put together. Beautiful, beautiful performances. The actors have clearly made a deep connection to their characters.
The video is 2:42:03 long.

My Fair Lady (10/12/05) - PROSHOT
West End Revival with Amy Nuttall, Christopher Cazenove, Russ Abbot, Honor Blackman, Stephen Moore, Stephen Carlile, & Romy Baskerville.
Splendid video. Being that its a pro-shot, the technical quality is outstanding! Amy is lovely as Eliza Doolittle. She's beautiful, and charming, and classy just like Audrey and Julie! I highly recommend this. The costumes, the set, the cast, the score, the choreography... everything about this show is sheer perfection.
Two discs.
My Fair Lady (2007) *RARE LOST
Kennedy Center with Kelli O'Hara, Kelsey Grammer, Marni Nixon, & Charles Kimborough.
Adequate technical quality. Clarity and colour is good. Quite a few obstructions (doesn't usually block the action but can be a bit annoying) and a little bit of shakiness. Otherwise, a watchable video. Kelsey Grammer is fantastic as Higgins. As much as I adore Kelli, I didn't feel this was the right role for her. However, her incredible talent was evident. Overall, a video worth having if you are a fan of the show or anyone in the cast. If you've never seen the show, I would recommend the video above before this one.
Act 2 is audio only.
The video is 2:27:01 long.
Nero (07/13/09)
Reading with Idina Menzel, Jeffrey Carlson, Lea Michele, Michael Arden, Laila Robbins, David Patrick Kelly, and Paolo Montalban.
Truly an amazing video. Spectacular cast, stellar score, and beautiful book. The only drawback would be the wandering, but it's nothing serious— the clarity is great. It's absolutely shocking that the show wasn't successful.
This video is 1:45:19 long.

Phantom (1994)
North Shore Music Theatre production with Kristin Chenoweth, Ron Baker, & Marc Kudisch.
Yeston & Kopit version. Decent video. Video is pretty fuzzy and quite a bit of washout but the camera work is nice because it uses a tripod but there aren't any good zooms. The audio is great except for a low hissing (not very noticeable.) The show itself is very different from Webber's "Phantom," this is a much lighter show but still enjoyable. Not a great video visually but worth it for the sake of experiencing the show.
Exact length TBA
Pippin (07/13/13)
Broadway Revival with Patina Miller, Matthew James Thomas, Terrence Mann, Charlotte D'Amboise, Rachel Bay Jones, & Andrea Martin.
Gorgeous production! Technical quality is outstanding. Patina is truly a star as the leading player, Charlotte is beautiful as Fastrada, and Matthew completely redefines the role of Pippin.
Two discs.
Pippin June 14 2014
Porgy and Bess (01/11/12)
Broadway Revival with Norm Lewis, Audra McDonald, David Alan Grier, Phillip Boykin, Nikki Renee Daniels, Joshua Henry, Christopher Innvar, Bryonha Marie Parham, & NaTasha Yvette Williams.
Breathtaking! Aside from there not being many closeups, very well filmed. The whole cast seriously blew me away. Audra is a goddess.
The video is 2:09:03 long.
Promises, Promises (04/01/10) LOST
Broadway Revival with Kristin Chenoweth, Sean Hayes, Tony Goldwyn, & Katie Finneran.
Excellent video. Fantastic closeups, good clarity, and literally no washout. The only drawback is the bouncing, but it's nothing extreme and does not take away much from the video. Kristin is stunning and gets to show a different character than "the funny second banana" (as Bebe Neuwirth would put it.) Tony Goldwyn is perfect as Shedrake, Sean Hayes is adorable as Chuck "C.C." Baxter, and Katie Finneran is HYSTERICAL as Marge! The music by Burt Bacharach is lovely and the scenery creates a very warm atmosphere.
The video is 2:04:47 long.
Promises, Promises (11/17/10) **NO SMALL FILES** LOST
Broadway Revival with Kristin Chenoweth, Sean Hayes, Tony Goldwyn, & Molly Shannon.
Same technical quality as above video. Molly Shannon puts a completely new spin on the Marge character and is every bit as funny as Katie Finneran! Who knew she could sing, too?
The video is 1:57:23 long.
Rabbit Hole (02/25/06)
OBC with Cynthia Nixon, Mary Catherine Garrison, John Slattery, & Tyne Daly.
Has a tendency to drop and capture the bottom of the stage (still gets the action, just may be annoying when you're watching) and some background noise. The show itself is just incredible. Cynthia Nixon and John Slattery are especially brilliant.
Exact length TBA
Ragtime (12/29/97)
OBC with Brian Stokes Mitchell, Marin Mazzie, Peter Friedman, Audra McDonald, Judy Kaye, Mark Jacoby, & Lea Michele.
Lovely show. Because of it's age, it does not have amazing clarity and has minor washout issues. However, it is not filmed at an angle and the action is followed very well. Make sure to fix the aspect ratio to 16:9. This is a really lovely show and everyone in it is amazing. It's especially interesting to see such a young Lea Michele!
Includes commercials and reviews.
The video is 2:44:22 long.

Green, Trisha Rapier, Madeleine Doherty, Holly Davis.
Some washout, little wandering, otherwise great! Patina Miller is a SUPER STAR. Pretty cheesy show but in a good way, very entertaining! Cute story and very catchy songs.
The video is 2:39:04 long.
A Snow White Christmas (12/15/12) *VERY RARE
Pasadena Playhouse production with Ariana Grande, Charlene Tilton, Neil Patrick Harris, Curt Hansen, Jonathan Meza, David Figlioli, Italo Egueta, Morgan Larsen, Janaya French, Clarice Ordaz, David Morales, Marc Spaulding, Aiden Lewandowski, Rachael Anne Anderson, Zander Faden, Kade Pait, Alix Newman, Tyler Mitchell, & Daisy Stoneman.Very visually appealing production! Cool special effects, great costumes and scenery, and very colourful! Aside from occasional heads being visible at the bottom of the screen and a couple very brief dropouts, great video. Fantastic camera work and great picture quality. The show is full of pop songs and references to pop culture and Broadway shows. Ariana is very talented, would love to see her do more stage shows.
Two discs.
Sondheim on Sondheim (03/26/10) LOST
OBC with Barbara Cook, Vanessa Williams, Tom Wopat, Leslie Kritzer, Norm Lewis, Euan Morton, Erin Mackey, & Matthew Scott.
Seriously stunning. The technical quality of the video— practically flawless. Amazing camera work, amazing colour and clarity. The show is very well put together. The cast is very strong and the little bits of Stephen are genius and hysterical! A must-have for any Sondheim fan... or musical theatre fan in general!
The video is 2:26:21 long.

Broadway Revival with Ann Reinking (as Charity), Bebe Neuwirth, Allison Williams, Michael Rupert, Carrie Nygren, Mark Jacoby, Irving Allen Lee, Dana Moore...
Sweet Charity (06/15/98) - PROSHOT *RARE
One night only BC/EFA benefit concert with Bebe Neuwirth, Debbie Allen, Gwen Verdon, Chita Rivera, Betty Buckley, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert Goulet, Helen Gallagher, Jim Dale, John McMartin, Jerry Orbach, Carol Channing, Dom Deluise, Marla Maples, Lillias White, Pamela Isaacs, Charles Nelson Reilly, Carol Arthur, Ed Koch, David Dinkins, Hilton Battle, & Marisa Tomei.
Without a doubt, one of my favourite videos that I have. No technical flaws whatsoever. The camera work and clarity is absolutely phenomenal (especially for its age!) The all-star cast has great energy and the costumes, set, and choreography are to die for! Roles are switched off throughout the night so Bebe, Debbie, Gwen, and Chita share the role of Charity; Bebe, Chita, and Helen share Nickie and Helene; Jim, Brian, John, and Dom share Oscar; and Robert and Jerry share Vittorio Vidal. Some of the music and lyrics to songs have been altered slightly including the title song and Bravest Individual (like the '86 revival). Highly recommended. Includes interviews with members of the cast, rehearsal footage, and more.
The video is 2:48:00 long.
Sweet Charity (04/28/05)
Broadway Revival with Christina Applegate, Denis O'Hare, Kyra DaCosta, Janine LaManna, & Ernie Sabella.
Includes lots of promo material and interviews.
Quite a bit of wandering, some washout, and a couple blackouts, otherwise a fine video. The camera is kept steady and the clarity and colour are decent. Christina is adorable as Charity and her dancing is impressive as well. DVD includes reviews, interviews with creative team and cast, and more.
Exact length TBA

US Tour with Molly Ringwald, Guy Adkins, Kathryn Mowat Murphy, Francesca Harper, Aaron Ramey, & Richard Ruiz.
Some obstruction from heads in the audience and filmed at an angle. Otherwise a fabulous video! Good clarity and colour aside from a little washout at some parts. Molly was very cute as Charity and the rest of the cast was brilliant as well, the dancing is amazing!
The video is 2:08:03 long.
Sunday in the Park with George (11/4/12) LOST
Chicago Shakespeare Theatre production with Carmen Cusack, Jason Danieley, Linda Stephens, Heidi Kettenring, McKinley Carter, Rachel Cantor, Sean Fortunato, Kevin Gudahl, Drek Hasenstab, & Ora Jones.
Every bit as good as the original Broadway production! A couple minor obstructions here and there but otherwise a perfect video. This show is an absolute masterpiece.

Top Hat (2011)
UK Tour with Tom Chambers, Summer Strallen, Martin Ball, Vivien Parry, Ricardo Alfonso, & Stephen Boswell.
Positively stunning. Probably one of my absolute favourite videos. Nearly perfect technical quality. Great camera work and radiant clarity. Tom Chambers is a sensational dancer and has all the charm of Fred Astaire. Summer Strallen, though I feel was not as strong in this role as Kristen Beth Williams, is still marvelous as always. Martin, Vivien, Ricardo, and Stephen are all HYSTERICAL in their supporting roles.
Vanya And Sonia And Masha And Spike (03/27/13)
OBC with Sigourney Weaver, David Hyde Pierce, Kristine Nielsen, Billy Magnussen, Genevieve Angelson, & Shalita Grant.
A little hissing and filmed at an angle, but beyond that a perfect video! Fantastic camera work and the picture is crystal clear. Technically, one of my best videos. The play itself is so unique and funny! Sigourney Weaver and David Hyde Pierce are phenomenal as usual and the other cast members hold their own next to these stars.
The video is 2:06:04 long.

OBC with Patti LuPone, Sherie Rene Scott, Laura Benanti, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Danny Burstein, Mary Beth Peil, Justin Guarini, De'Andre Aziza, & Nikka Graff Lanzarone.
Love it! Fabulous clarity, great closeups, and follows the action perfectly. You can tell it's filmed at an angle, there's a bit of a bouncing problem at some parts, and there is occasional obstruction from the rail (usually not a huge problem. There is an instance during one of Patti's songs where she's really obstructed, but otherwise it's fine.) The set and costumes are great, the cast has great chemistry, and the book is hysterical! Includes press reels, cast/creative interviews, and a video of David Yazbek singing songs from the show.
The video is 53:47 long.
Audios
Annie (05/25/13)
Broadway Revival replacement with Jane Lynch, Taylor Richardson (u/s Annie), Anthony Warlow, Brynn O'Malley, Clarke Thorell, & J. Elaine Marcos.
FULL SHOW A good audio. The recorder must have been sitting close to the orchestra because sometimes it's hard to hear the dialogue or lyrics over the music. Overall, it's still fun and especially great to hear Jane Lynch as Miss Hannigan!
Cabaret (02/25/99)
US Tour with Norbert Leo Butz, Teri Hatcher, Rick Holmes, Dick Latessa, Barbara Andrews, & Andy Taylor.
FULL SHOW Outstanding! Teri Hatcher blew me away as Sally, a perfect role for her. Norbert as the Emcee is also a great fit. The audio quality is perfectly clear. Highly recommended.

FULL SHOW Sound isn't super clear, which is a shame, but it's absolutely listenable and there's no hissing, buzzing, or anything like that. The energy in this production is remarkable! I'm not usually a fan of Samantha Barks but she was very impressive as Sally!
A Chorus Line (09/23/83) SOUNDBOARD
Special Record Breaking Performance with Donna McKechnie, Ann Rienking, Kelly Bishop, and other past Broadway/ international casts.
Not skippy but many things are cut short. Most major songs are there, but not necessarily complete. Still, it's very cool to listen to.
A Chorus Line (11/29/03)
Production in Sheffield with Josefina Gabrielle, Hayley Tamaddon, Nikki Belsher, Lara Pulver, Nina French, David Sellings, Rebekka Gibbs, Helen Anker, Jay Beattie, Sebastian Torka, Rachael Wooding, Andrew Spillett, Rhoda Montemayor, Spencer Stafford, Paul Hazel, Daniel Crossley, Michael Jibson, Jason Durr, & Edward Hayes-Neary.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of muffling and noise that may or may not interfere with your enjoyment of the audio. However, the production itself really is lovely and is absolutely worth listening to if you are a fan of anyone in the cast. Josefina Gabrielle's Cassie is unlike any other. Instead of taking a more sort of sweet but beaten-down approach like Charlotte or Scarlett, her Cassie is a little harder, more jaded— like a Sheila. I personally love the choices that she made and her Music and the Mirror is gorgeous to listen to.
A Chorus Line (03/11/12)
West End Revival with Leigh Zimmerman, Scarlett Strallen, John Partridge, Victoria Hamilton-Barritt, Lucy Jane Adcock, Ed Currie, Frances Dee, Harry Francis, Simon Hardwick, Rebecca Herszenhorn, James T Lane, Daisy Maywood, Andy Rees, Alastair Postlethwaite, Alexzandra Sarmiento, Vicki Lee Taylor, Gary Wood, etc.
FULL SHOW. Just wonderful. These performers put so much heart into their roles. Scarlett is especially beautiful as Cassie. Having seen this production, I can say that it is one of the best productions of ACL I have ever seen/heard (that is saying a lot, as Chorus Line is one of my all-time favourite shows.) Aside from not being tracked, this recording is without any flaws. The sound is clear as a bell and it runs all the way through the show.
Chicago (05/30/97)

Chicago (02/03/07)
Broadway Revival replacement with Bebe Neuwirth (as ROXIE), Brenda Braxton, Phillip Casnoff, Raymond Bohkur, & Roz Ryan.
FULL SHOW A truly amazing audio, I listen to it all the time. It's essentially without a flaw. The whole cast is fabulous and Bebe is just as, if not more, spectacular as Roxie as she was as Velma. Her acting choices are very interesting and her Roxie monologue is amazing. Highly recommended, ESPECIALLY if you are a fan of Chicago and/or Ms. Neuwirth.
Chicago (07/07/07)
West End replacement with Josefina Gabrielle, Amra-Faye Wright, Duncan James, Matthew Lloyd Davies, Susie McKenna, & T Solomon.
FULL SHOW I enjoyed this audio very much. Josefina is, of course, fabulous as Roxie and Amra-Faye's Velma is fierce as they come! The sound quality is very good, no problems as far as I can tell.
Chicago (02/21/14)
Broadway Revival replacement with Bebe Neuwirth (as MAMA MORTON), Bianca Marroquín, Amra-Faye Wright, Brent Barrett, Christopher Fitzgerald, & R. Lowe.
Chicago (03/08/14)
Broadway Revival replacement with Bebe Neuwirth (as MAMA MORTON), Dylis Crowman, Amra-Faye Wright, Brent Barrett, Christopher Fitzgerald, & R. Lowe.
Both audios from Bebe's latest run are good. The orchestra is a little loud at times but otherwise, great sound quality. Unfortunately, though all songs are there, not all the dialogue is so the bit between Roxie, Velma, and Mama after Cell Block is not there. Bebe does a good job as Mama but it would be easier to really get a feel for her in the role if that bit was recorded. P.S. if you don't know which audio you want to trade for between 2/21 or 3/8, both audios are good but I personally recommend 2/21 because I prefer Bianca Marroquín's Roxie to Dylis'.

Very impressive audio. Great sound quality. However, it does not run straight through— there is a quite bit missing. Best I can tell: Valjean Arrested / PART OF Valjean Forgiven, The Runaway Cart, Who Am I?, The Confrontation, Suddenly, The Bargain / The Thénardier Waltz of Treachery, Stars, and quite a few others. Most major songs are there. If you want to hear Paige's IDAD and Lea's COAC— they are in-tact.

West End replacement with Gavin Lee, Kristen Beth Williams, Vivien Parry, Stephen Boswell, Clive Hayward, & Ricardo Alfonso.
FULL SHOW Just a dazzling piece of theatre. Kristen has the sweet sass of Ginger Rogers down perfectly and Gavin Lee has the charm of Fred Astaire. The whole cast is marvelous, the score by Irving Berlin is gorgeous, and, although you wouldn't know it, the set, costumes, and dancing are spectacular!
