The show was stopped briefly (about two minutes) during Act 1 because of a technical
difficulty. I cut it out of the audio, which is why there is a little jump in the track "SpiderMan Flies." A couple was late returning to their seats after intermission, so Robert adlibs
a little bit during "Norman Osborn 2.0."

About 10 minutes of total blackouts, which is mostly a chunk in within the first 13
minutes. Despite that, a nice capture and the audience was very into the show. Good
sound and closeups and good video otherwise A110 in the Shade (4/15/07) Broadway

seats and other random things in frame, mostly clear shot center stage with extreme sides
out of view, some cover-ups and some action not caught in the frame, DVD is a bag of
mixed nuts but still worth having. B

Filmed in 16:9 widescreen.with few obstructions only in the wide shots when there are
two heads on either side of the frame. There is about 2 minutes of blackout when some
commotion happened nearby involving an audience member taking pictures with his
LCD screen on. A gut-wrenchingly sad performance where most of the cast members
were in tears. A9 to 5: The Musical (05/15/2011) US Tour
Dee Hoty, Diana DeGarmo, Mamie Parris, Joseph Mahowald, Kristine Zbornik, Sean
Montgomery, KJ Hippensteel, Jesse JP Johnson, Wayne Schroder, Jane Blass, Michelle
Marmolejo. A good capture of the tour with all of the changes from the Broadway
production. There some quick dropouts throughout the show, but most are between
scenes and none last for more than 30 seconds. There is some washout here and there and
a bit of obstruction in the lower left corner during the first act, but none of the action is
missed. Filmed with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound excellent. A9 to 5 (9/12) North Shore Music Theatre

(Brittney Kissinger).The firing became national news and generated a great deal of
publicity. Some believe this was the intention of the producers in order to further promote
the Broadway revival's debut.Well filmed but some generational loss. Disc also includes

Davis (Nick/Righteous Brother), Rashidra Scott (Janelle/Shirelle), Ashley Blanchet
(Little Eva/Shirelle), Kevin Duda (Neil Sedaka/Righteous Brother), Rebecca LaChance
(Betty). “Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol
Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record
business as a teenager and by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her
dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll. It wasn't
until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.
Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of King's remarkable rise to stardom, from being
part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with
fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the
most successful solo acts in popular music history. Nicely filmed from the balcony. There
are a few short blackouts at the beginning of the first act and a head appears in the frame,
but the filmer does a good job of shooting around it. Several songs have already been
moved or cut from the show since this was filmed, so there are sure to be more changes
before it hits, Broadway later this season, 2 DVDS. A

shots, and there's one head on the left that blocks the actors' legs occasionally. A

Hamlet (12/26/09) Royal Shakespeare Company, Pro Shot
David Tennant & Patrick Stewart . David Tennant and Patrick Stewart star in this
critically acclaimed production of Shakespeare’s masterpiece from Britain’s renowned
Royal Shakespeare Company. No recent stage production in Britain has attracted the
excitement and nearly unanimous critical praise as this Hamlet. Tennant's interpretation
was recognized as defining the role fora generation, and Stewart’s complex Claudius won
the Olivier award, Britain’s highest stage honor. In this specially-shot screen version,
filmed on location rather than in the theater, Tennant and Stewart reprise their roles.
Dynamic, exciting and contemporary, it breathes new life into Shakespeare's greatest
play. A+

wasn't their fault the jawbreaker got stuck in her throat...or was it?" The musical is

performed as a staged concert reading. Rather than one person per role, the concert is
done with some of Broadway's best alternating in the roles. Shot from the front of the

The Mystery of Edwin Drood (3/10/13) Broadway Revial, Final Performance
Cast: Jim Norton (Chairman), Nick Corley (Stage Manager), Will Chase (John Jasper),
Stephanie Block (Edwin Drood), Erin Davie (Rosa Bud), Jessie Mueller (Helena
Landless), Andrew Samonsky (Neville Landless), Gregg Edelman (The Reverend), Chita
Rivera (Princess Puffer), Peter Benson (Bazzard), Nicholas Barasch (Deputy), Robert
Creighton (Durdles). This show is fantastic, but the closing performance is really
something extra special and is one of the best nights (well, afternoon) I've had in theatre,
and the audience was crazy enthusiastic. Takes about a minute at the start of each act to
settle into it, some shakiness between scenes but mostly well filmed. c. Blackout when
the house lights were on for voting. Includes curtain call and emotional speeches by Scott
Ellis and Rupert Holmes, well these are a little shaky and obstructed, but they are there.

Phantom of the Opera (4/1988) Broadway
Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Steve Barton & OBC
As of 9/28/14
The audio is very good quality (considering the age of this recording). This is a great
performance, however the picture is quite dark and there are not many close close-ups.
There are a few jumps and some entire scenes cut out such as Magical Lasso. There is a
jump from end of Prima Donna to Il Muto and also from The Phantom's exit in
Masquerade to the 2nd Notes scene. The "Before the Premiere" scene is also cut, when it
jumps from the end of the Graveyard scene to Don Juan. There is also a minute or two
jump between the Labyrinth scene to Beyond the Lake. About 85% complete. C

Romijn. Excellent capture of this year's Hollywood Bowl production. Three songs were
cut from the production: "Never Say Good Luck on Opening Night", "Where Did We Go
Right?", and "Betrayed"; stage is filmed directly, not the screens, so the action is
followed well with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The first minute of the show
is missing, and the next few minutes are a bit shaky with scattered blackouts, but after
"The King of Broadway" it settles and the majority of the show is captured nicely, filmed
in 16:9, and the sound excellent; includes curtain call. *Two discs, full menus with scene

occasional blips, and a line of faint tracking snow through the middle. The sound in the
beginning also goes in and out. Act Two is much better. Still shows some generational
loss, but is much better and easier to watch than the first half. C+
Shrek: The Musical (8/14/08) Seattle, WA
Brian D'arcy James, Sutton Foster, Christopher Sieber, Chester Gregory, John Tartaglia,
Kecia Lewis-Evans, Haven Burton First Performance of the Pre-Broadway run. A rare
capture due to the fact the show ran 2 hours and 34 minutes, cuts are nearly inevitable.
Includes three already cut songs, "I Could Get Used to This" and "Gonna Build a Wall",
and "The Line-up Reprise #2" (where Gingy sings about having an yeast infection) was
cut on the second preview.. Beautiful capture with no obstructions. A very fun show, a
top notch cast and memorable songs. A+

Brian D'Arcy James, Sutton Foster, Chester Gregory, Christopher Sieber, John Tartaglia,

zoomed close ups are very clear shot. No picture at the beginning of each act, so the
picture is blurry or non-existent for a bit, and there's one short cove rup during Donkey's
entrance, but other than that everything is there. A

an absolute legend. Filmed from the back of the nicely raked stalls with virtually no head

Reeve Carney (Peter Parker/Spider Man), Jennifer Damiano (Mary Jane Watson), Patrick
Page (Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin), Gerald Avery (Swarm), Collin Baja
(Carnage), Emmanuel Brown (Electro), Matt Caplan (Flash), filmed during the third
preview performance, unfortunately not the best filming, the filmer sat in the back of the
balcony and it looks like he left the camcorder in his lap, so what was filmed is the top
¾ of the stage, and the ceiling, you miss most of what is happening on stage, because
the camcorder was aimed too high, however you can still hear everything and you do see
set changes and some flying sequences. B

The Story Of My Life (2/11/09) Broadway
Will Chase, Malcolm Gets, Alex Maizus, Austin McKinnis. Filmed during previews.
This short lived musical lasted for just 5 official performances. Filmed from the
orchestra section, so there are heads at the bottom of the screen. Basically the filmer just
put the camcorder on their armrest, so it’s a mostly stationary full stage shot, but it’s
great it was filmed at all. Some spotlight washout. B
