Filmed fifteen feet away from the stage, heads, 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.

Filmed in 16:9 widescreen.with few obstructions only in the wide shots when there are two heads on either side of the frame.

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. AA Chorus Line (1975) Broadway Original Broadway Cast, Not a great video but by far not bad for its age. Video is shot in Black & White.

This was only the fifth preview, so the show is sure to change in the future. The first couple minutes of each act are blacked out while everyone got settled, and then there's a couple very short blackouts throughout the show, but those are less than 30 seconds each. There's a little washout in some of the wide shots, and there's one head on the left that blocks the actors' legs occasionally.

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 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).

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. About 85% complete.

In 1974 this extremely controversial show struggled for many months in Boston, only to close before ever making it to Broadway. In 1982 most of the original cast gathered to make a recording.

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+ The Scottsboro Boys (11/6/10) Broadway Joshua Henry, John Cullum, Josh Breckenridge, Derrick Cobey, Coleman Domingo, Jeremy Gumbs, Rodney Hicks, Kendrick Jones, James T. Lane, Forrest McLendon, Julius Thomas III, Sharon Washington, Christian Dante White, nice capture of this show, also includes 90 minutes of interviews/behind the scenes/reviews, A The Secret Garden (5/26/2001 & 5/30/2001) London Philip Quast (Archie), Linzi Hateley (Martha), Craig Purnell (Dickon), Meredith Braun (Lily), Peter Polycarpou, Cassandra Compton/Lizzie. 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. Also featuring a 70 person choir, a 35 piece orchestra and a children's choir with performers from Rosie's Broadway Kids; nicely shot-a bit shaky from time to time, but nothing too bad. ASeminar (10/31/2011) Broadway Alan Rickman, Hamish Linklater, Jerry O’Connell, Hettienne Park, Lily Rabe. Well filmed from the balcony. Mostly full stage shots with an occasional mid-zoom. No obstructions and crystal clear. Disc also includes a NY1 review, a NY1 interview with Alan Rickman, and the full 30 minute theatre talk devoted to the show. 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.

BSeussical the Musical (8/27/2000) Boston Tryout David Shiner (Cat in the Hat), Kevin Chamberlin (Horton), Janine LaManna (Gertrude McFuzz), Michele Pawk (Mazzie). First Preview ever of the show.

B+ Seussical the Musical (9/24/2000) Boston Tryout David Shiner (Cat in the Hat), Kevin Chamberlin (Horton), Janine LaManna (Gertrude McFuzz), Michele Pawk (Mazzie). Last performance before New York.

B+ Seussical the Musical (5/20/01) Broadway Last Show Cathy Rigby, Kevin Chamberlain, Janine LaManna, Sharon Wilkins, Michelle Pawk, Cameron Bowen. Nice color, follows action well.

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. Final Performance of the Pre-Broadway run with many changes. Nearly 25 minutes of cuts and changes since the first performance, including new songs.

AShrek (4/11/09) Broadway Brian d'Arcy James, Haven Burton (u/s Fiona), Daniel Breaker, Christopher Seiber, John Tartaglia, Heather Jane Rolff (u/s Mama Bear/Gingy). Very Good Capture of this show. Only one five second cover-up during "Story of My Life", and a little head obstruction when the actors come all the way downstage during one scene. Haven really makes the role her own. A Side Show (11/16/1997) Broadway Alice Ripley, Emily Skinner, Jeff McCarthy, Hugh Panaro and OBC. ASide Show (12/27/97) Broadway Alice Ripley, Lauren Kennedy (und.), Jeff McCarthy, Hugh Panaro, Norm Lewis, David Massenheimer (und.)

Patina has a killer voice, the nuns are all adorable, and Sheila Hancock is 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. Great capture of this fun and entertaining show. There are a lot of changes from the London production and all of them for the better as it helps tell the story better. Patina is fantastic!

Not a terrible video, but not great. B+ Smile (1986) Broadway OBC. Great for its age! A relatively good video of the Hamlisch flop that only played 48 shows! Some generation loss. B+ Snoopy Andrea McArdle. Pro-shot but very old and very graining. Not a lot of info on this one.

B Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark (9/17/11) Broadway Version 2.0. Reeve Carney, Jennifer Damiano, T.V.

A Steel Pier (1997) Broadway Gregory Harrison, Debra Monk, Karen Ziemba, Kristin Chenoweth, Daniel McDonald, Joel Blum. Very nice picture and sound; no major obstructions; mostly wide shots- dance numbers look great! Picture could be sharper, but it's not bad; includes additional clips and reviews. 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.
