Notes: Highlights: meaning 100% audio is there, but was very hard to film, so I'd say 70% of the show is visually there. Camera wanders at times, but cast was Fabulous!

Notes: Nice focus throughout and generally good movement. Unfortunately quite a lot of scenes are simply blackout, so this video can only be described really as a highlights reel. The audio remains good throughout and you can get a great idea of this 'updated' version of this show since its Broadway run. Often traded as October 1, 2017, but DVD menu states 2017 so it should remain as that. If you have October 1, 2017, it's this video.

Notes: Really beautiful shot in an intimate space. Lots of zooms, but a good amount of wider shots too with a very limited (almost nonexistent) amount of heads. The lighting in this theater really liked my camera and I know the show almost “by heart” so I think I followed the action as well as possible. My battery died during the last song, but it starts at the very beginning with only one drop out during dialogue.

Notes: An adorable and charming new show premiering at Berkeley Repertory. Samantha, Adam, and Savvy are fantastic in their roles, the music is gorgeous, and the sets are beautiful and clever. A very nice capture with just one quick dropout and one small head that can occasionally be seen at the bottom of the screen but never blocks the action. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums and close-ups. The sound is excellent. The show runs 1 hour and 40 minutes with no intermission. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

Notes: the very front of the stage is obstructed by the circle, but it's just feet that are cut off. video was shot blind so it wanders and shakes a little bit, but it's good enough to see how special this show is. some of the cast has changed since the tour and again since the off-west end run.

Notes: Closing show! Or “rock concert” if you ask Christy Altomare. Yeah so this is a pretty obstructed video. Everyone was really excited so people were standing up, people were moving around, and honestly I had a little trouble paying attending to my viewfinder with all of the tears streaming down my face. Like Beetlejuice I would say it’s mostly like highlights, but all of the things that happen in the center part of the stage are captured really well and the video is DEFINITELY Christy centric. “Journey to the Past” is complete and gorgeous and you will cry. First act starts around when Anya meets Dmitry and the second act starts during “Crossing A Bridge.”

Notes: Starts from Reno's entrance on the ship though this scene is mostly blocked until a few seconds later. Filmed from center balcony so there's some good wideshots.

Notes: Filmed on phone, edited in post to zoom and pan to action on stage. Closer zooms are a little grainy, but still watchable. Due to close proximity and angle, some performers are cut off from the waist up when closest to camera, and there is some wide-angle distortion on the far sides. But still a great capture of this revival.

Notes: Front row lapshot filmed with a hidden phone (i.e. shot pretty much blind). Unfortunately, Act 1 is angled way too low with lots of feet and many heads cut off, but you get a general idea of what's happening. The angle was adjusted for Act 2, and turned out to be a pretty decent capture.

Zoe Glick (Sarah), Bebe Neuwirth (Nana), Caissie Levy (Beth Ann), Ashley Blanchet (Miss New Hampshire), Rick Crom (Dr. Riley), Charlotte Elizabeth Curtis (Ally), Darren Goldstein (Donald), Charlotte MacLeod (Abby), Ellyn Marie Marsh (Mrs. Dembo), Margot Weintraub (Amy), Emily Zimmerman (Laura)
Notes: Questionable 4K capture of this hilarious musical. Caissie's third to last performance. Act One is completely blindshot and stageshot, and starts out alright, but drifts upward as the act goes on and has an obstruction that covers a significant portion of the left side. Act Two is shot well. There is one large head on the center left side that sometimes blocks the action in both acts, but is worked around as best as possible in Act Two. There's one blackout at the end of Act Two because the master thought it was the end of the show and was trying to stand up. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source.

Notes: Previews! This is probably my most obstructed bootleg ever. When I could get zooms they’re pretty (and I’m really trying my hardest for both Sophia and Kerry - “Dead Mom” looks GREAT and is really consistent), but I would probably consider this more like highlights with how many heads keep popping up. I don’t love it, but you can keep up with what is happening and see the WILD effects they have going on here...which is good enough for now. Video starts at “Ready, Set, Not Yet” and is complete from there. And honestly this video (and this show) is worth it just for “Dead Mom.”

Notes: Full HD stageshot filmed from the front orchestra! This is fairly better than the other stageshot, including less heads, more facial features, but one major head that's sometimes filmed around whenever the master isn't wandering downward. Great video quality overall and it includes full Act One and Act Two starting at Beetlejuice's entrance after Girl Scout through Curtain Call!

Notes: Excellent 4K capture of this incredibly unique set of covers. Due to COVID absences, both Brooke and Nevada were on as roles they normally don't cover for the second night in a row. Some of the swings also did split tracks. There is minimal wandering and unfocusing. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source.

Notes: Workshop all staged on barebones sets. Very interesting changes from the eventual Broadway version, including a much different “All American Prophet” (a squaredaney number called “The Bible is a Trilogy, Too”) This version is far less polished and focused but incredibly interesting to see for fans of the show.

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.

Linzi Hateley (Carrie White), Barbara Cook (Margaret White), Sally Ann Triplett (Sue Snell), Paul Gyngell (Tommy Ross), Charlotte d'Amboise (Chris Hargensen), Gene Anthony Ray (Billy Nolan), Darlene Love (Lynn Gardner)
Notes: Filmed professionally for the RSC archives on the third night of the performance (February 16, 1988). Shot from first row mezzanine center with no obstructions with audio taken directly from the soundboard. Mostly a full stage shots without zooms. This is usually incorrectly labelled as "Opening Night (February 13, 1988)", which is incorrect, as on opening night, Barbara Cook was almost decapitated right after the set changes from "Don't Waste The Moon", which not seen in this video (also verified by the person who copied this from the archives).

Notes: Terrific capture, one of my favorite shows. Marin was more of a Barbara Cook portrayal, Anne was more of a Betty Buckley. Rare performance as Anne only went on a handful of times.

Notes: Beautiful HD capture of one of the Final Dress Rehearsals. Top notch production and thrilling performances from Alice, Keaton, and the whole cast! This is quite a unique capture since it was the first time the blood was dropped. Too many amazing things to point out here, don't miss this one!!! A+ Well filmed with a nice mix of close-ups and full stage shots and no obstructions. Based on the revised Off-Broadway version, and presented at the Balagan Theatre. Because this was recorded at the final run-through prior to opening night, there are a few “holds” as they worked out any kinks: * After “Evening Prayers” there is a hold to change all microphone batteries, resulting in most of the song being run a second time (the sound check was removed and put as a bonus at the end of act two). * During the scene where Carrie is getting ready for the prom a microphone made a "farting" noise and Alice grabbed her butt and said "sorry" which made the cast and tech crew laugh.

Notes: Pamela Anderson's first performance as Roxie, first return performance for Lana Gordon and Ryan Silverman. External audio. Act 1 filmed with usual method, but a lot of obstruction especially on the right side, last 10-ish minutes of Act 1 are audio only; Act 2 filmed with different method and even more obstruction, a fair amount of wandering at times. Cropped in post-editing. Not a great video, but what is there isn't bad, and gives a decent glimpse of Pamela Anderson's very first performance.
