Shot from the left mezzanine. Generation loss.

    notes: Begins with 55 minutes of Gina Gershon-centric footage (though Wilkommen is also included). This is audience cam and NOT the same performance as the other Gina Gershon DVD. Next is about 24 minutes of PRO-SHOT press footage featuring Jennifer Jason Leigh, followed by the PRO-SHOT footage for Richardson, and lastly McCormack. This essentially renders the Press Reel DVD redundant except that they appear to be ripped from different sources, and for a missing “Bienvenue” at the beginning of the Richardson section on this copy. Finally the DVD ends with an unrelated performance of Dreamgirls from the 1982 Tony Awards.
  • Cabaret - Broadway, 2nd revival

    notes: One of the best of the Cabaret videos from this era. Incredibly there is virtually no spotlight wash to speak of and there lots of great close-ups. Recorded from the main floor (table 319 to be precise) which is also unusual for these. Starts with 11 minutes of Jon Peterson as Emcee from the National Tour (different performance than the 2000-08-26 video). The BW video is missing the first minute or so of WIlkommen and the curtain call is missing. Also has 30 minutes of other musical clips after, the first being another Michael C Hall performance.

This production also went on a mini tour of Brazil in 2012 with the same cast, so not fully certain this is from São Paulo.

    notes: This is the only publicly released video recording of this acclaimed, sold out production with the original West End revival cast. This was my first time recording and as a result mistakes were made. Foolishly, I set the exposure to automatic so the recording suffered from spotlight washout (I havent made this mistake since). The washout has mostly been fixed in editing as its impossible to fully correct. The recording has more zooms than I would like to prevent further washout. Fortunately, this production is minimalistic and performance focused so it doesnt hinder the overall experience of the show. The recording is mainly filmed in close ups and mediums. A head is sometimes visible in the wide shots of the musical numbers. Recording includes the curtain call and marquee.

    notes: Fantastic 4K capture of this incredible immersive production. I can't say enough good things about this production, but it absolutely lives up to (and exceeds) the hype. Shot well with pretty minimal washout and wandering, no obstructions (although a little bit of the stage is blocked by my jacket for a few minutes in Act 1), and only 2 brief dropouts during applauses. Includes curtain call.

One brief blackout during 'Two Ladies', and a dropout for most of the scene after 'Money' (lasting about 3 minutes). Next to no obstructions and fairly minimal wandering and washout.

    notes: Not to be confused with the 2012 musical with Rob McClure, this famous flop never made it to Broadway after a critical bashing. Filmed through the house stationary camera with no closeups. Very good sound, probably from the soundboard, but the video doesn't fare so well with generational loss.

This is also complete and includes the opening announcement alerting the audience that the show is being filmed. Amazing quality, but still has a little generational loss. In black and white. The DVD has been enhanced with chapter stops for all of the musical numbers. This, along with the tapes of Crazy for You and Passion, is amongst the only three TOFT tapes that have been leaked.

    notes: Directed by Gales Edwards. This almost looks like it was filmed for TV, but it was most probably just filmed for the cast and crew, or maybe it was filmed for press reel purposes. Full show, filmed using multiple cameras with sound patched directly in from the soundboard. Interesting production, with a different interpretation. The stage is a black-and-white checker board design with a large-framed, red ribbon-tied set, and the cast is dressed entirely in black and white with an occasional splash of red. A

    notes: Excellent 4K capture from the final weeks of this show! In order to show the choreography as much as possible, this video is wideshot more than usual. This audience was VERY enthusiastic and makes the performance a fun watch. Minimal wandering and unfocusing, a few very brief blackouts. Some action on the far right and some of the projections are cut off due to the angle. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source.

Check your version to see if it's full.)

    cast: Patti LuPone (Eva Perón), Tom Carder (u/s Che), Bob Gunton (Perón), Mark Syers (Magaldi), Jane Ohringer (Perón's Mistress)
    notes: COMMONLY CONFUSED WITH MARCH 10, 1980. Please check your copy and the screenshots for both to ensure your video is not the same; this video does not have a commercial, is filmed from the left of the house rather than the right, and features Tom Carder as Che instead of Mandy Patinkin. Washed out color, but it is still present. Very dark. Tracking issues at times, but a pleasant surprise for its age. Often mislabelled as 1980 only. The VOBs are hard to find.

Two versions circulate: a low quality MP4 with digitally added zooms, and VOBs with smalls which include some TV extras.
    my notes: also includes extra clips of other Evita-related content..

    notes: Filmed in widescreen with no major obstructions, some great zooms, and a very steady, clear picture. Final performance of the Sacramento production. This production was performed in the round, so sometimes the actors have their backs to the camera, but it is overall very well balanced on all sides. The stage also rises and revolves, which is used to great effect during "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina"

    notes: London's National Theatre production, broadcast live to cinemas around the world. The National Theatre revival is the first fully staged major London production of Follies to present the original Broadway version of the show. Sondheim and Goldman revised large parts of the show's script and score for its 1987 London premiere, toning down the underlying bleakness of the Broadway original, and offering a more hopeful finale for its central characters. Director Dominic Cooke revisited early drafts of Goldman's script, restoring original dialogue and moments that have not been seen in the production since its 1971 Broadway run.

    cast: Ethel Merman (Rose), Sandra Church (Louise)
    notes: 12 minutes of silent black and white press footage of a photoshoot rehearsal (perhaps the first), in the rehearsal studio on the roof of the New Amsterdam Theatre. As musical accompaniment, a rehearsal recording of Ethel Merman singing the score (with early/alternate lyrics) with a piano has been added. The stars of the original cast are seen, along with Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim and Jerome Robbins, and Gypsy Rose Lee herself, who makes an appearance. This is followed by 60-90 seconds (depending on the source) of silent colour footage of a performance. Two versions circulate of this: one (screenshots 7-8) is of unknown origins, while the other (screenshots 5-6) is the famous Ray Knight film, although in poor video quality. The first colour footage is on the Broadway Home Movies #2 DVD, while the second is on the GYPSY 1973 DVD.

    notes: This bootleg has about 5 versions (see screenshot below) after being passed from multiple VHSs and DVDs resulting in various qualities from different losses of generation. The bold, distorted lines version and the mostly greyscale and green version are the most circulated versions currently. Usually just labelled as 1986, but if the year is in fact correct, the month almost definitely is December as the production opened December 4 after four preview performances and the video has “No One is Alone” in it, which was reportedly only added mid-way through the production.

    notes: A fantastic capture of this all star cast performing at the legendary Hollywood Bowl. The audience was energetic and enthusiastic throughout. Shot in a mix of wides and zooms. This video is of the actors ON STAGE, not the big screens set up around the venue. There is occasional spotlight washout, but it is quickly corrected. Shot in crystal clear HD with no obstructions.

    notes: 4K and 1080p, from right mezzanine. Steady filming. Occasional obstruction when people in front of me leaned over. Occasional focusing issues. Short (10-second) blackout when house lights come up during the Finale. Curtain call filmed between heads. Sara Bareilles flubbed lyrics to "Moments in the Woods" and needed to regroup in an amusing way. / NFT and sales through master only until January 15, 2023.

    notes: Closing performance. This is arguably the best of the four. 4K and 1080p, from right mezzanine. Very steady filming. Almost no obstructions - minimal heads in house right side on widest shots. About 1-minute dropout during Finale when house lights come up. Includes curtain call. Funny mishap when Denée's slipper flew into the audience, causing her to break while Sara went to retrieve it. NPH and Gavin Creel were a little extra goofy, too. / NFT and sales through master only until January 15, 2023.

Focused on close group shots and zooms as the production involves minimal staging, so the actors are the main focus.

    notes: Messy 4K capture of Milky White. When Milky White isn’t on stage, this is a fairly normal (if messy and obstructed) video of Into the Woods. When Milky White is on stage, every attempt is made to focus solely on the puppet and puppeteer. The railing obstructs quite a bit of action, especially when actors are sitting or laying on the floor, though act two is a lot better than act one. Increased moments of wandering and unfocusing are present, as well as increased spotlight washout. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source.

There are a couple of very brief black outs. Pretty nice for the most part. Also includes Press Reels from the show.

    notes: Starts in the middle of "When I Get My Name in Lights". Mostly just a stage shot. Good colours for its age. Image has been stabilised but the picture is still jittery.

One head in the bottom left corner of the screen, but it affects very little of the video. Virtually no washout and sound is a little quiet in places.

    notes: A musical that takes place in a laundromat, where Patti LuPone plays a ghost who lives in one of the dryers and offers advice to the patrons. This pro-shot video, filmed for TV, reunites the 1979 cast of the Off-Broadway musical of the same name. This was intended to be the pilot for a series of lesser-known musicals to be televised, but the series was never picked up.

    notes: Opened July 24, 1983 at the George Gershwin Theatre, where it ran for only 41 performances. Good video fidelity for its age, but video is on the dark side and the audio is heavily muffled, so it's hard to make out the lyrics. Some copies may include 1984 Tony appearance.

    notes: As generally circulated, this video is missing most of the first part of the "Old Friends" scene, a chunk at the beginning of Act Two (after a few seconds of the entr'acte, it jumps to a point after the end of "It's a Hit!"), and part of "Opening Doors." It's unknown whether these were not shot or if they were deleted from circulating copies. This video is in the Theatre on Film and Tape (TOFT) collection of the Library of the Performing Arts in New York, though it wasn't shot for the collection.

    notes: Complete video with mix of zooms and wide shots. Minimal dropouts and shakiness. Infrequent obstruction on the bottom of the shot due to seat in front of me but I work over it. Asterisks next to John T. Wolfe and Michael Williams because they are not listed at all in the program so I am unsure whether they are replacements, swings or understudies. Hilarious mishap in the beginning when the house set does not stop spinning, Shereen acknowledges it and Laird starts his next line with “As I was saying…” causing lots of laughter and cheering from the audience. Includes full audio from this performance.

Originally shown in Japan in a version edited to 120 minutes. For unknown reasons, at this performance, Mako performed the slightly abridged version of the opening speech (prior to "The Advantages of Floating in the Middle of the Sea") that is heard on the original cast recording. In the production, he usually did the longer version of the speech (as it appears in the published script).

Jason Robert Brown gives a speech after the curtain call. Truly an epic night of theatre. This is a very near perfect video with no obstruction and only slight washout in wide shots. There are two quick dropouts in the first few minutes, but the concert is otherwise fully captured. It's filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent.

    notes: clips of leo at word (very shaky, black scene, sorry about that), you don't know this man, 20 miles from mareitta, frankie's testimony, come to my office, that's what he says, leo's statement, factory gir's reprise, minnie mcknight's reprise, all the wasted time / Left channel drops msec in several videos. But the video itself collects better sound than the audio I get, so I plan to leave it as it's rather than feed the audio.

    notes: Excellent 4K capture of Tanner as Britt Craig! Filmed a little more wideshot than usual to get some of the background action / projections, and a little Tanner focused at times. Minimal wandering and unfocusing throughout. Some heads visible on the bottom but there is only very minor obstruction in the last minute or so.

    notes: Great 4K capture of this show! Generally less well filmed and much more poorly framed than other videos, increased wandering and unfocusing throughout. Blackout during interrogation, part of the Act One finale, and a partial blackout at the very end when actors walk down the aisle. The last minute of the show is audio only due to a camera error. Audio is fed from external source.

For the single scene before “Hammer of Justice,” the video becomes a Jay Armstrong Johnson fancam. Some wandering / readjustment and unfocusing throughout. Generally a bit poorly framed / followed in Act One (though Act Two is much better). There is a head consistently visible at the bottom of the frame but doesn’t obstruct anything.

A railing obstructs the very bottom of the screen in a few scenes, but no action is missed. Some wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout. Video becomes watchable about 2 minutes into the first song due to setting up the camera.

    notes: FOSSE CUT. Different (and longer) than the eventual TV broadcast with different angles and takes. Bob Fosse's master which he edited and returned back to the producers. Ultimately his cut was not used and he was apparently unhappy with the finished version. Generation loss and counter numbers at the bottom of the screen. Staged by Fosse's associate Kathryn Doby, based on his original Broadway staging. Filmed in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

    notes: A tribute concert to Stephen Sondheim. Superb performances of Sondheim songs performed by the most talented singers and actresses/actors. HIGHLIGHTS are an exquisite rendition of "Sooner or Later" (danced and sung) by Karen Ziemba, with a little help from Bill Irwin, the late Madeline Kahn's contribution, "Getting Married Today” and an extraordinary of “Being Alive” by Patti LuPone

    notes: Filmed and released in HD 1080p, audio from external source, no obstructions whatsoever. Drop-outs only for applause. Mix of wide, medium, and close-ups to capture group and individual performances. Fantastic cast performing this Jason Robert Brown show, though Carolee Carmello is a true stand-out giving 1000% in her solos (this opinion may be slightly biased). Minimally staged, but lighting design was very cool. Includes all of curtain call. Never to be sold except by master. NFT (not for trade) and sales only through master until July 1, 2022
  • South Pacific - London

William Harbison, U.S.N.), Bill Nagy (Stewpot), Desmond D'Arcy (Jerome), Betta St John (Liat), John McLaren (Captain George Brackett, U.S.N.), Wally Peterson (Professor), Larry Hagman (Yeoman Herbert Quale)
    notes: This was filmed at a special performance with no audience on May 6, 1952. Urban legend has it that this filming was completely forgotten about until someone discovered the original reels in an office at the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization. There are few real closeups in the film. The film also circulates in a version that someone has adjused to make it appear in letterbox format. This version tries to simulate closeups at certain points. It also inserts video of Mary Martin performing "Wonderful Guy" from the General Foods television special saluting Rodgers and Hammerstein while retaining the soundtrack from the London filming. Applause has also been added at certain points. There are synchronization issues in parts of this version. On most copies, 70% of video is just a blank screen and audio.
    my notes: incl. an edited (remastered/enhanced?) version as well

    notes: A nice capture overall; the biggest flaw here is the obstruction. There are a lot of heads that were very difficult to work around, but the show is still captured well and the actors are only occasionally blocked for a few seconds at a time. There are some very quick dropouts, but no major blackouts. It's filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes playbill scans.

    notes: This is the only known video recording of this one night only, sold out, concert. This capture is near perfect; very little obstruction, steady, with a mix of wides, mediums and close ups. There are minimals heads at the bottom of the screen when in wide. Unfortunately during Judi Dench's number the camera had slight trouble focusing due to her jewelry. Recording includes the curtain call and marquee.

    notes: It's a proshot. But it's a very high generation proshot with a massive amount of generation loss and distortion in the picture. The audio's still OK but not great. Despite stabilisation and colour rebalancing, this still is painful to actually look at if you have any kind of light sensitivity. Act two is better at times, and falls into complete and total dropouts at others. Note: There seems to be two versions of this dvd being traded around. One is the wrong aspect ratio and very grainy and the second one is more clearer and has the right aspect ratio. Please check with traders.

Starts from "Hi there Myron" in the Let's have lunch song. Includes most of the songs important to the show. Offers a really good look of the show before all the changes were made. Patti's massive headdress for the finale. Most importantly the sets for example, Sheldrake's office which was later scaled down for the Los Angeles production and Betty's office. A lot of gen loss and audio sometimes a bit fuzzy. C+

Other obstruction throughout only lasts for a second or two each time. Due to the angle, some of Johanna's moments are blocked off by the archway.

    notes: A good HD capture with all things considered. This was a very small Theater and almost staged Theatre-in-the-round. Part of the railing lines the bottom of the screen for most scenes, which also can block actors far downstage left. All that considered, still a very enjoyable rare capture and performances. B+

    notes: This concert version of the show is abridged with shortened scenes, simple costumes, and no sets or choreography, but Jeremy, Solea, and Karen are absolutely phenomenal with soaring vocals and emotional performances. Very well captured with no dropouts, no obstruction, and no washout. The stage is filmed directly most of the time; the screens are occasionally filmed, usually when the actors are not onstage. It's filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

    notes: Looks like a lapshot with Act Two (much) more tightly framed than Act One (which has been cropped and reframed to remove areas with no action). It's stable minus the occasional VHS glitch but is a step down from a housecam due to heads covering quite a bit of the front third/half of the stage. No zooms, but it's from a low generation source. Audio has been sync corrected, but is unfortunately too noisy to filter without becoming unlistenable. The top level of hiss has been removed, but nothing deeper can be done. That said, this is still from an online source rip so not quite as sharp or good as it could be. Includes some early TV appearances by the cast and TV reviews.

    notes: This is a vivid 4K video with almost no obstructions. Pretty much everything is centered, with beautiful zooms but also wider shots that showcase the dancing and set design. At times the video appears on an angle because my wrists are weak, but you don't miss anything because of it. There is also washout at times, but I do believe my camera handles the spotlights better than a lot of Wicked videos. Act 2 starts a minute into the performance. All in all this is a gorgeous capture of old and new cast members... I'm not finished yet in this bootleg business but if I was this could be my magnum opus.
