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.

Craig, Nick Galbraith, Katie Kern, Jen Malenke, Lesli Margherita, Vic Mazzone, Aaron Neely, Leslie Odom, Jr., & Jackie Seiden., notes from the filmer: A musical adaptation of the 1999 film, "Jawbreaker." The musical is described as "a darkly comedic, stylish girl clique musical with the mythic story of Courtney 'Satan in heels' Shayne and her minions who play a nasty birthday prank on their picture perfect bestie. It 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 venue. The show was sold out and everyone was literally packed in like sardines, so some head obstructions here and there, but the master worked around them well and managed to get good coverage and close ups that made for a good capture, A As of 12/6/14 Jekyll & Hyde (12/25/95) Pre-Broadway Pre-Broadway: Robert Cuccioli (Jekyll/Hyde), Linda Eder (Lucy), Christiane Noll (Lisa Carew), Phillip Hoffman (Utterson), Nita Moore (Nellie), Martin Van Treuren (Sir Danvers/Spider), Raymond McLeod (Stride), Brad Oscar (Lord Savage/Poole) Dave Clemmons (Bishop).

A great capture of this classic musical. After a recent shoulder injury, Davis does the entire show in various colored slings; he pulls it off As of 12/6/14 nicely, despite a little lack of movement. With a a massive cast of almost 50, the show has tons of energy. Overall, Gail is the standout, her Marian transitions nicely throughout the show, and her rendition of “My White Knight” is incredible. There are a couple very quick dropouts in the first act, but nothing major. There is no obstruction and no washout. Includes curtain call.

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.

Unfortunately, the picture suffers greatly from generational loss, but the audio is still very good. It's interesting to enjoy the show with such an enthusiastic audience, as this show was highly anticipated back in 1988. D+ Phantom of the Opera (4/1988) Broadway Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Steve Barton & OBC 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.

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 selection Promises, Promises (4/1/2010) Broadway Sean Hayes (Chuck Baxter), Kristin Chenoweth (Fran Kubelik), Tony Goldwyn (J.

Missing 15 minutes of Act 1 from "I'm Not That Kind of Girl" to about 15 seconds into "What's Wrong With Me" but improves after that; blocking from a backpack used for filming a couple of times but not very distracting; besides all that, a nice video with clear picture and sound B+ Saving Aimee (10/5/11) Seattle Carolee Carmello, Judy Kaye, Roz Ryan, Ed Dixon, Ed Watts, Brandon O’Neill, Charles Legget.

The first act was shot from the far right mezzanine, so far stage left is obscured; the second act was shot from the left side of the orchestra, from a nice angle; zooms throughout. Generation loss and can be a bit pixely at times. B+ The Secret Garden In Concert (12/5/05) New York Michael Arden, Laura Benanti, Celia Keenan-Bolger, David Canary, Max von Essen, Matt Cavenaugh, Steven Pasquale, Deborak S Craig, Barbera Rosenblat, Shonn Wiley The third World AIDS Day concert, held at Manhattan Center Studios Grand Ballroom.

Seussical the Musical (3/2000) Backers Audition, NYC Andrea Martin, Kevin Chamberlin, Janine LaManna. Stationary filmed backers audition of Seussical before the changes were made.

Act 1 has a couple of tracking issues: 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+ Shrek: The Musical (8/15/08) Seattle, WA Brian D'Arcy James, Sutton Foster, Chester Gregory, Christopher Sieber, John Tartaglia, Kecia Lewis-Evans. Filmed from the back row of the right balcony; small theater so 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 Shrek (9/21/2008) Seattle WA Cast: Brian D'arcy James, Sutton Foster, Christopher Sieber, Chester Gregory, John Tartaglia, Kecia Lewis-Evans, Haven Burton.

Patina has a killer voice, the nuns are all adorable, and Sheila Hancock is As of 12/6/14 an absolute legend. Filmed from the back of the nicely raked stalls with virtually no head obstruction and only a couple of 30-second blackouts towards the beginning of act one due to latecomers being seated. The full show is included on the video; the curtain call is not. A Sister Act (4/2/11) Broadway Patina Miller, Victoria Clark, Fred Applegate, Sarah Bolt, John Treacy Egan, Demond Green, Chester Gregory, Marla Mindelle, Kingsley Leggs.

Missing the first minute or two, beautifuly filmed, steady and crystal clear, A Soul Doctor (10/13/13) Broadway Eric Anderson, Jacqueline Antaramian, Amber Iman. Filmed at the closing night performance. Mostly a full stage shot with low resolution, and the right half to third of the picture is obscured by whatever the filmer using to hid the camera. The disc also includes Larry King interviewing the cast in what looks to be an18-minute promotional video disguised to look like his former talk show.

B+ As of 12/6/14 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.
