The shot is slightly slanted at times and the top of one audience head can be seen but nothing is missed. SCREENSHOTS NOT PERMITTED. Contact master for screenshots and info

Notes: Lovely capture of this whimsical show. Act One is a phone stageshot with no zooms while Act Two was filmed on a camcorder. Both acts have occasional wandering, with the railing cutting off the feet of the actors, but almost all of the action is captured. Includes a hilarious mishap with Jason's costume falling apart upon his entrance, and the actors breaking character as Jason went backstage and came back without the wings for the rest of the show. Includes curtain call

Notes: Great 4K capture of Ephie’s debut as Fanny! Act One is filmed from the center orchestra, and has a small obstruction on the right side and a much larger one on the left which blocks off some action. Act Two is filmed from the right orchestra, but is unobstructed. There are occasional moments of wandering, unfocusing, and spotlight washout. Includes the overture, entr’acte and curtain call, audio is fed from external source.

Notes: Previews! Picks up after "Road to Hell." Decent capture with a lot of beautiful zooms, two really annoying heads, and a drop out occasionally but never for long (For the first time in my mastering career I kept putting the camera down after musical numbers because I couldn't NOT clap). This was my first time seeing the show and hearing this music so I was sometimes focused on the wrong things. Oh well. Overall, I love this video. I got home at 2AM after filming it and just SOBBED while I rewatched some of my favorite moments. WHAT A SHOW.!

Notes: Shot from the front mezzanine, front of stage action is captured great from between the bar. The bar obstructs a bit when performers are on the upper levels of the stage but overall very watchable. Capture includes the entire show, including partial curtain call (missing We Raise Our Cups). With my other master, you can get a great visual of the entirety of the show's beautiful choreography and staging.

Notes: Great HD of the Year Two Broadway cast starting with the infamously ridiculous toffee scene. This was taken from one of the boxes so there is railing obstruction on the right of the stage, however most of the main action occurs at center and is brilliantly captured.

Notes: Closing matinee. Full show recorded from the mezzanine with dropouts when the cast was nearby. Also (dancing) heads in the way but I work around them well. Video focuses on Alaska, Tiffany and Shanice but the others all have decent footage. So happy that this production is preserved, it was the best theatre experience I ever had (when I saw the show on the dance floor) and I tried to capture it as best as I could. I apologize for the inconvenience of the dropouts but I was so anxious about getting spotted by the cast. I only dropped out when they were on the catwalk or in the mezzanine facing me and actively interacting with the audience. Full audio of this performance AND the 8pm closing show included.

Notes: A near perfect capture and the first known DVD of this show’s Off-Broadway run. Barrett is incredibly talented: amazing vocals, acting and comedic timing. Dan and Charissa are both fantastic in their roles as well. The show is absolutely hysterical, much improved from the movie version. The first minute of Act One is blacked out, but the show is otherwise fully intact with no blackouts and only slight washout in a few wide shots. There is no obstruction, the video is steady, the sound is excellent, and it’s captured very well with the usual mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. It’s filmed in 16:9 and includes curtain call, encore, and playbill scans.
