The 39 Steps
2009 ~ Broadway
Arnie Burton, Charles Edwards, Jennifer Ferrin, Cliff Saunders. The 39 Steps is a play adapted from the
1915 novel by John Buchan and the 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock. The play's concept calls for the
entirety of the 1935 adventure film The 39 Steps to be performed nearly verbatim onstage, but with a
cast of four. One actor plays the hero, Richard Hannay, an actress plays the three women whom he has
romantic entanglements with, and two other actors play every other character in the show: heroes,
villains, men, women, children and even the occasional inanimate object. This often requires lighting fast
quick changes and occasionally for them to play multiple characters at once. Thus the film's serious spy
story is played mainly for laughs, and the script is full of allusions to (and puns on the titles of) other Alfred
Hitchcock films, including Rear Window, Psycho and North by Northwest. Well filmed from the
balcony. A

Act One
2015 ~ PBS Broadcast
Andrea Martin, Santino Fontana, Tony Shalhoub. Few have captured the magic of the theatre better than
Moss Hart, a poor kid from the Bronx who went on to become a lion of Broadway. Moss Hart, the writer of
classic comedies with George S. Kaufman and the director of the original production of My Fair Lady, has
captivated theater lovers for over 50 years with his memoir, Act One. Now another lion of the theater,
James Lapine, has fittingly reimagined this memoir for the stage. Lincoln Center Theater's gorgeous
production pulls out all the stops, creating a world as vivid and transformative as the stage itself. But it's
the strong performances from its first-rate cast. Pro-shot for PBS. A+

Meg Chamberlain, Geoff Wilson, Sue Wismar Trent Rowland, Danny Turek, Emily Kacsandi
Such a wonderful production, this is a not a production to be missed. I strongly recommend this to any
comedy lover. This is such a funny show, I really enjoyed this. This is a workshop of the show so there is
very little set but it does not effect it honestly. The video is great to, it has nice close ups. It also follows
everything very good, the only problem is that the show takes place outside so during the last 20 mins it
gets dark to show night. A-

Aladdin
8/22/14 ~ Broadway
Adam Jacobs, Courtney Reed, James Monroe Iglehart, Jonathan Freeman,Clifton Davis, Don Darryl
Rivera, Brian Gonzales, Andrew Cao (u/s Omar) This is such a fun show, and its really well transferred
from the film. The sets and costumes are particularly fantastic, and the cast is incredible. Act one has
three major blackouts: the scene between Arabian Nights and One Jump Ahead, the scene between One
Jump Ahead and Proud of Your Boy, and the last 22 minutes of the act, which is all of Friend Like Me and
Act One Finale. There is also a head that blocks center stage and the action is often lost behind it. Act
two is much better with no blackouts and only some heads on the bottom that are worked around well. Its
filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. Theres a lot of chatter and rustling from the
audience, but the sound is otherwise excellent. Includes playbill scans. 2 DVDs B+

This cast features Joanna Pacitti as Annie. She was chosen to star in the 20th Anniversary revival of the

performances with the National Tour, obtaining mixed reviews. Two weeks before the show was to land
on Broadway, she became ill with bronchitis. She returned to find she had been replaced by her
understudy (Brittney Kissinger). The firing became national news and generated a great deal of publicity.
Some believe this was the intention of the producers in order to further promote the Broadway revivals
debut. Starts one minute into each act, well filmed but some generational loss. Disc also includes a ABC-
News Turning Point backstage story on the casting of the show with Macys. B

Brian Conley, Linzi Hateley, Kimberly Blake, Mikey Jay-Heath, Landi Oshinowo, John Statcey. An
excellent capture in high definition of dazzling, colourful extravaganza. Conley is the epitome of a true
star, and the way he pulls off the tricks makes this man an entertainment genius. Through out this
recording there is a two minute drop-out when Barnum went off stage to talk with audience members etc,
but other than that the show is intact. A (Master)
Bernarda Alba
3/14/06 ~ New York
Phylicia Rashad, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Nikki M James, Sally Murphy, Saundra Santiago, Yolande Bavan,
Judith Blazer, Candy Buckley. Lyrics and music by Michael John LaChiusa. "The House of Bernarda
Alba, Federico Garca Lorcas final play, on which the new musical, Bernarda Alba, is based, was written
in 1936, the same year in which the illustrious Spanish poet and playwright was executed by General
Francisco Francos militia soon after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Lorca became a symbol for
the thousands of martyred Spaniards who fell victim to Fascist tyranny. For many years Francos
government attempted to eradicate the memory of Lorcahis books were prohibited, a ban that was not
officially rescinded until 1971. Given the subsequent circumstances of Lorcas tragic end, it is difficult not
see his play as both a tale of a controlling woman in a man's world, and as a political allegory. The title
character in the musical, played by Phylicia Rashad, proclaims that she and her householdher five
grown daughters, her mother, her servantswill observe a long period of mourning, following the funeral
of her second husband. Not a breath of outside air is going to enter this house, Bernarda declares. It's
going to feel like we've bricked up the doors and windows. The outside world of their village, however,
seeps in. Despite Bernardas tyrannical measures the daughters desires collide with their mother's iron
rule. Simply set on an almost bare stage to music inspired by the rhythms of flamenco, Bernarda Alba
tells a story of longing, despair and desire." Presented at new York's Lincoln Center. Nicely filmed, with
great close-ups. Also includes scanned Playbill info, 2 short clips and a review. A

Jeff Daniels, Alison Pill. "As the play begins, Una (Pill) has dropped in unexpectedly at the office of her
former lover, Ray (Daniels). He's not happy about it, and it soon becomes obvious why. The last time they
saw each other was 15 years ago when he was 40 and she was 12. Their illicit relationship landed him in
jail. Since his release, he has changed his name and tried to rebuild his life. Una's arrival threatens all
that, as she has come seeking answers to questions about the ill-fated affair that forever marked
her." Slight camera problem, as the first 8 minutes go from color to black and white and back again, but it
gets fixed and it ends up being a great quality video. Includes scanned Playbill information. Filmed at the

Blood Brothers
1994 ~ Australia
David Soul (of Starsky and Hutch), Delia Hannah, Stefan Dennis, Ross Girven, Tina Regtien. Original
Australian Cast. This is an interesting disc, as the first act was filmed in Melbourne, and the second act
was filmed in Sydney where David Soul took over the role of the Narrator. Act one is filmed from the
balcony as a bootleg, and the second act is filmed from the wings of the theatre, so in addition to seeing
the action onstage you see the crew working in the wings, and the actors making the entrances and
exits...it's all actually very interesting, and because it was filmed backstage you are much closer to the
action. The disc is not complete, but it's about 85% of the show. Also includes a backstage TV special,
and other footage of the cast performing at what looks to be a church. Some generational loss. B-

Blood Brothers
March 2010 ~ Phoenix Theatre, London
Cast: Melanie C, Philip Stewart, Stephen Palfreman, Richard Reynard, Vivienne Carlyle, Louise Clayton,
Michael Southern, Owen Oldroyd. As for this cast, I truly rank it as one of the best I've seen - pop music
past or not, Mel C is spectacular as Mrs J, and the supporting cast are just as amazing. The video is
filmed from the horribly raked back stalls of the Phoenix, which does mean some heads in the bottom of
the screen, but they are shot around very well and completely avoided whenever possible. All the action
is well-followed using a variety of shots, and the colors are faithful to the original, with little to no spotlight
washout. Overall, a good video of an amazing cast. A-

(Candide), Jesse J. Perez (Soldier/Cacambo), Margo Seibert (Paquette). Directed by Mary Zimmerman.
A co-production of the Goodman Theatre in Chicago and Washington D.C.'s Shakespeare Theatre
Company. Zimmerman has expanded Bernsteins scope of the musical to incorporate more material from
the original Voltaire novel. Ms. Zimmerman, like the vast majority of her predecessors, takes as a starting
point Harold Prince's successful 1974 Broadway revival of "Candide," for which Hugh Wheeler wrote an
all-new book that was undeniably effective but dismayingly vulgar. Eight years later Mr. Prince put
together a longer "opera-house version" of the show for the New York City Opera, and in 1989 Mr.
Bernstein himself recorded an even longer "final revised version" of the score with which subsequent
directors have continued to tinker. This time around, Ms. Zimmerman has scrapped Mr. Wheeler's
dialogue, replacing much of it with speeches drawn directly from Voltaire's novella, and has crammed in
more of Mr. Bernstein's revised score than any previous non-operatic stage version. Beautifully filmed
using a camcorder on a tripod in the back of the house and crystal clear. A

without a weak link in the bunch. Even those without Broadway experience hold their own with the others.
Samantha and Ashlee in particular have a nice chemistry together, with strong voices and great dancing.
The stage and sets are much larger than the Broadway version, but the blocking and choreography fill
them nicely. The show is completely intact from start to finish, filmed on a tri-pod so its very steady
throughout. The first few minutes are a bit shaky and theres obstruction that blocks the actors feet, but
both issues are fixed after All That Jazz. Very little washout except in a few high-contrast wide shots. Its
filmed in 16:9, with wides and mediums; there are no close-ups due to the distance from the stage. The
sound is excellent. Includes curtain call. A

This is possibly the best Chicago video out there, with no blackouts, obstruction, or washout whatsoever,
from the first second to the last bit of the curtain call. The video is very steady throughout, and the sound
is excellent. Its filmed in 16:9 with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. A

Copperfield
4/81 ~ Broadway
RARE! Brian Matthews (Adult David), Evan Richards (Young David), George S. Irving (Mr. Micawber),
Christian Slater (Billy Mowcher), Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (Dora Spenlow). Based on the 1850 novel
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. Broadway flop with just 39 performances. In his review in the New
York Times, Frank Rich said, "This is the kind of musical that sends you out of the theater humming every
score other than the one you've just heard . . . of course, derivativeness is nothing new in Broadway
musicals that aspire to be pure commercial entertainments. The real problem with Copperfield is that its
authors are not good mimics. From the music to the scenery to the cast, everything about this show looks
tacky in comparison to its prototypes. And when the writers actually attempt to come up with fresh ideas -
well, look out! The show's book manages to miss the human comedy, the tears and even the point of
Dickens's novel. This is no longer the story of a boy's hard-won growth to emotional manhood, but a
clunky, often incoherently told melodrama in which all the villains literally wear black... the title character
seems an almost peripheral figure in the proceedings. He's played by two decent singers - one boy, one
man - who are nothing if not chips off the same block. The block is made of wood... Some of the music is
mildly tuneful, after its many fashions, but the lyrics are, at best, unintentionally funny... Rob Iscove's
choreography departs from the show's norm, in that it seems to have been culled from flops rather than
hits... it could be argued that Copperfield might be entertaining for young children, whose innocent minds
aren't sullied by memories of the superior shows that this one dimly recalls. But it's hard to imagine what
parent - short of an evil Dickensian one - would take the family to the ANTA when Annie, Barnum and
The Pirates of Penzance are in town." Missing the first scene and song, as well as an occasional minute
here and there in Act 1, Act 2 is complete. Well filmed, but some generational loss. The disc also includes
about 5 minutes of TV reviews. B

The Frogs
5/20/74 ~ New Haven, CT-Yale University
Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver, Joan Berlinger, Larry Blyden, Peter Bogyo, Alma Cuervo, Jeremy
Dempsey. RARE! Early musical by Steven Sondheim and produced by the Yale Repertory Theatre and
performed in the Yale University pool area and gymnasium, with Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver in
the chorus! From the original New York Times review: "As a theatrical event, the Yale Repertory Theater
production of "The Frogs" is spectacular. It opened last night, in, of all places, the Yale swimming pool
(inside the Payne Whitney Gymnasium), which looks like an Olympic ocean next to the Yale Rep's usual
church-mouse of a home. On and off pool, there is a cast of 68, including a 21-frogman chorus. In some
of the steeply inclined seats -- 1,600 of them are reserved for the audience -- sit members of the Yale
University Band. Though it is often inspired nonsense, "The Frogs" still needs more exercise of the
author-director's imagination. Most of it is staged on a narrow edge of the pool. Too much of the time the
pool itself remains an idle shimmering forestage. Carmen de Lavallade's choreography is much too
confined. After 33 years of contemplating another "Frogs" -- Mr. Shevelove first did it in the pool as a
drama student -- he rushed this one into production. On opening night there were moments when the
show seemed in danger of capsizing. When one actor forgot his lines, I half expected to see Mr.
Shevelove shove him into the pool. Yale's "Frogs" runs only through Sunday, but a tour of out-of-town
pools is very much in order before a Broadway theater is flooded." Its song "Invocation and Instructions
to the Audience" has become a perennial in Sondheim tributes and cabaret shows. The show was given a
belated studio recording in 2001 with Nathan Lane in the lead role of Dionysus. Lane then went back for
more--literally, since he adapted and expanded Burt Shevelove's book--and Sondheim wrote several new
songs. Finally, The Frogs was a full-length musical, staged in 2004. As can be expected from a tape
more than 30 years old, there is some generational loss, but completely watchable. Filmed using one
camera on a tripod. C+

energy until Let The Sunshine In, when it becomes great energy. Dead End is, for some reason,
placed during Claudes trip, and is chilling! Songs only, some may be clips of songs. Still, a beautiful reel

Hunter Parrish, Benjamin Walker, Kristen Bell, Amber Riley, Jonah Platt, Jenna Ushkowitz, Hud:
Mario, Sarah Hyland. A nice capture of the Hollywood Bowls annual Broadway show. This production
follows the 2009 revival staging fairly closely with some occasional improvised lines and different blocking
to accommodate the larger stage. The cast is full of energy; Hunter and Benjamin make a great pair.
Kristens voice isnt as strong as the others, but shes still fun to watch. Amber was the standout for me;
she kills all of her solos. Filmed on a tripod, so its very steady except for the occasional jerkiness when
panning. There is a bit of grain in the video due to the distance from the stage, but its well captured with
no blackouts. The only obstruction happens when someone briefly walks across the walkway in front of
the camera. Its filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent as
usual. Includes curtain call, encore, and playbill scans. A

quick dropouts, mostly between scenes. Its filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups.

with two sell-out performances at The O2 (an enormous venue), and live relays to cinemas around the
world. This version of the show was recorded from the back of the orchestra section (or the stalls as
they are referred to in London), so it is at a better angle than the version described below, but it is missing
about the first 10 minutes of the show. A

This is Cameron Mackintoshs brand new 25th anniversary production of the show, with new staging and
spectacular reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. FANTASTIC production of this
show that just may rival the past great productions. Despite the lack of the turntable, the stunning lighting
and backdrop effects actually improve upon the original. An occasional head in the bottom of the frame,
and an occasional blackout-but nothing too bad. Also, a little dark at times due to stage lighting. A-

the first full capture of Ripley in the role. Shes so talented, and I enjoyed her performance immensely.
Christopher Sieber, Jill Paice, and Lesli Margherita are standouts as well this is just an all around
fantastic cast. A nice capture overall. There are two blackouts in act one: two minutes during the first
Wormwood scene, and three minutes during the first Library scene. During act two, Telly is blacked out
while the house lights are on; video starts at Lavenders entrance. There is one head center stage, but its
worked around fairly well and rarely affects the action. Its filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums,

Mrs. Farnsworth
4/17/04 ~ Off-Broadway
John Lithgow, Sigourney Weaver, Danny Burstein, Kate Benson, Fernando Gambaroni, Tarajia Morrell.
Written by A.R. Gurney. The very proper, well educated Connecticut wife and mother Margery
Farnsworth, signs up for a writing course with the intent of penning a tell-all book about President George
W. Bush, with whom she has shared a shady past. Instructor Gordon Bell is all too happy to help Mrs.
Farnsworth get the truth out. In swoops her husband, Forrest Farnsworth, who with beguiling charm and
tender passion for his wife presents quite a different view of their collected history and politics. A.R.
Gurney exquisitely captures Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth, and once again presents the fading WASP way of
life with humor and compassion. Presented at New Yorks The Flea Theatre. Nicely filmed. One or two
cover-ups. Overall a very nice video. Heads in the bottom of the shot due to the small Off-Broadway
venue. A-

Before all of the deceased sisters can be buried, Reverend Mother Superior (Rue McClanahan) buys a
camcorder and VCR for the convent - resulting in not having enough money to bury the four remaining
sisters (which, by the way, are temporarily being stored in the freezer). In order to raise money to bury the
four dead sisters, the Little Sisters of Hoboken (well, what's left of them) put on a riotous revue packed
with hilarious, show-stopping song and dance numbers." A

affect the overall action; slight washout, especially in wider shots; there are more wides than usual to

Ryan, Clark Roberts, Dane Wagner, Carly Bracco, JC Layag, Marc Andrew Nunez, Joseph Keane,
Michael A Shepperd. A nice capture of the tour in Los Angeles. Cathy is completely charming as Peter,
hitting beats just right for maximum humor, as well as masterfully flying through the air. The first couple
minutes of the first act are audio only, but after that the full show is intact. There is some head
obstruction, particularly in the second act where one head blocks the left side of the stage; its worked
around as much as possible, but there are times when the action is blocked for a few seconds. Its filmed
in 16:9 with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call. B+

Pump Boys And Dinettes on Television
1983 ~ NBC-TV, Pilot
RARE! John Foley, John Schimmel, Jim Wann, Mark Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, with guest
stars Tanya Tucker and Ron Carey. "PUMP BOYS and Dinettes on Television'' is not so much a re-
creation as an adaptation of the Broadway show of almost the same name. When you add the words ''on
Television'' to the title it means you are adding guest stars. The pump boys, four of them, work at a gas
station on Highway 57 in Frog Level, N.C. The dinettes, two of them, work in the diner next door. They
are all engaging, and because there is no plot to speak of, they sing a lot - mostly country rock. Most of
the tiny plot is about the pump boys' search for a pump maid to put on the gas-station calendar. A subplot
is about a New Yorker, fleeing a palimony suit, who stops in when his car breaks down. Eventually, plot
and subplot meet. The pump boys - John Foley, John Schimmel, Jim Wann and Mark Hardwick - are from
the Broadway cast; so are the dinettes - Debra Monk and Cass Morgan. The principal guest stars are
Ron Carey and Tanya Tucker. Mr. Carey plays the New Yorker; Miss Tucker plays herself. She wanders
into the gas station in an off-the-shoulder, miniskirt toga, and sings 'Feels Right.'' Then she joins Miss
Monk and Miss Morgan in ''Wishin' and Hopin'.'' Miss Tucker accompanies her singing with what once
were called bumps and grinds, although in keeping with the spirit of things they're appealing and cute.
Most of the songs, however, are about grits and barbecue, second cups of coffee and going fishing. One
song about going fishing - ''in the swells where the king mackerel dwell'' is a representative line - borrows
from the Clancy Brothers and it's not bad at all" Features selected songs from the Broadway production
as well as pop-songs. Also includes a number performed at the Tony Awards. This was filmed and
broadcast while the show still played on Broadway. This pilot was not picked up as a regular series. A

Manhattan party-goers as its background, The Scene is a shrewd and bitter comedy about the empty
narcissism of American pop culture, Clea's ready to make it. Charlie's trying to retake it. Lewis wants to
change it. And Stella is simply over it. It's the New York entertainment 'scene' in all its boozing,
schmoozing and using glory." A presentation of New York's Second Stage Theatre. Beautifully filmed
and crystal clear. A

1979 ~ BBC-TV
Colin Bennett, Gemma Craven, Pamela Cundwell, Jane Egan, Robin Ellis, Lucy Fenwick. "Maraczek's
Parfumerie is the setting for this romantic musical about the many entanglements of love. Georg Nowack
and his co-workers lead quietly dreary lives as sales assistants in a little boutique in Budapest. That is
until Amalia Balash shows up, asking for a job. As soon as she is hired, through no fault of her own,
tensions begin to mount inside the store. Just as Georg and Amalia come to hate each other
passionately, Georg discovers that Amalia is his secret pen-pal with whom he exchanges "Dear Friend"
letters. How can they reconcile their simultaneous love and hate for each other?" This is a great copy of
the show, not the poor quality version that has been circulating for years. A

10/2015 ~ Avery Fisher Hall, NYC
Vanessa Williams, Julian Ovenden, Norm Lewis, Ali Mauzey, Edward Watts, Christopher Fitzgerald,

entertainment and changed the face of American theater. Spanning from 1880 to 1927, Jerome Kern and
Oscar Hammerstein IIs lyrical masterpiece concerns the lives, loves and heartbreaks of three
generations of show folk on the Mississippi, in Chicago and on Broadway. Its impact remains
unparalleled, addressing serious subjects like racial prejudice, introducing a bi-racial cast to Broadway,
and pointing the way toward a new synthesis between music and spectacle. With an all-star cast, this
New York Philharmonic production highlights the lush musical journey at the center of this epic show. A+

Honeysuckle Time and Swing Along and another during the New York Here We Come dance number;
each blackout is one minute long; a few quick dropouts in each act; one head on the right that blocks the

This show is LOUD and so over amped in this theater that there are times it completely overpowers the

great, with almost no spotlight washout except in a few of the wideshots. There are no heads in the way
at all, but the railing blocks the very front of the stage, so some of the action that happens low at the front
of the stage and on the stairs is missing. Some blackouts but not too bad A-

act 1 (the person moved during act 2, so it's not a problem there), but this is shot around effectively and
doesn't really interfere with any of the action. There are some blackouts, though, due to latecomers/the
ushers actually doing their jobs. Six blackouts altogether, the two bigger ones being most of Meine
Sucht/My Junk and about 40 seconds of Die Tiefblaue Nacht/The Mirror-Blue Night. Overall, the video
follows the action really well (though this videoer does have a soft spot for Jana in the group scenes
Wink), using both zooms and wider shots when appropriate. Slightly shaky at times, but not to the point of
being distracting. A-

Starlight Express
1983 ~ London Workshop
Tracey Ullman as Pearl and Frances Ruffelle. Here is a rare find of the first public presentation of Starlight
Express before a small group of invited investors in the hopes of raising money. It was filmed using two
cameras in what looks like a rehearsal space. One or two of the cast members are in makeup and some
mock-up costumes, but the majority of them are in dance clothes. Sound is on the soft side, but you can
still hear it. A

Stomp Live
2008 ~ London
Eight performers take the audience on a journey through sound and music, where rhythm is the only
language... STOMP has grown from its beginnings on the streets of Europe into an international
sensation, with touring productions all over the world, and long running shows in London, Las Vegas and
Broadway. This special performance brings together performers from the West End, New York and Vegas
for the very first time, to Stomp's home town and the theatre where many of the routines were originated:
Brighton Dome. Instantly recognizable household objects take on new life as percussive instruments in
the hands of each of the Stompers: brooms, cigarette lighters, water bottles, basketballs and more are
each explored for their sonic potential. Dance meets rhythm in "Hands and Feet" and Stomp takes to the
air in "Suspension", where the entire set becomes a musical instrument. The show climaxes with the
"Bins" routine: a ten minute rhythm extravaganza in itself, using trash-cans, oil drums and plastic drums
with trash-can lid combat sequences... Combining physical comedy and athleticism, it's a highly charged
performance from an idiosyncratic group who could only come from the world of STOMP. A
Sunset Boulevard

Dee Roscioli, Annaleigh Ashford, Kristoffer Cusick, Gene Weygandt, Barbara Robertson, Heidi Kettering,
Ted Ely, K Todd Freeman. What is captured is nice and clear but unfortunately some head and railing
obstructions throughout the show and misses the far right side of the stage but some nice close-ups and
good sound through out. A Two disc set. B+
Wicked
1/25/09 ~ Chicago, IL (Final Chicago Performance by SunsetBlvd79)
Dee Roscioli, Annaleigh Ashford, Barbara Robertson, Gene Weygandt, Kristoffer Cusick, Ted Ely, K.
Todd Freeman, Heidi Kettenring. Amazing, powerful, emotional performances full of energy from the cast
and audience. A great send off for the final performance, beautifully captured. Many great riffs and vocal
variations, a must for any Wicked fan. A
Wicked
2/22/09 ~ Broadway
Nicole Parker, Alli Mauzey, Kyle Dean Massey (u/s Fiyero), Jayne Houdyshell, PJ Benjamin, Cristy
Candler, Alex Brightman, Timothy Britten Parker. A Beautiful capture of this amazing performance. Nicole
was shockingly amazing in voice, acting and interpretation of the character. Alli gave the optional high
note in the opening that was stunning. This performance was on fire and spot on! A
Wicked
2/26/09 ~ Appleton, WI
1NT: Merideth Kaye Clark (s/b Elphaba), Katie Rose Clarke, Richard H. Blake, Myra Lucretia Taylor,
Lenny Wolpe, Amanda Rose, Ben Liebert, Paul Slade Smith. Merideth is a great Elphaba and has a great
voice. This was the performance where the fire alarm goes off when No Good Deed starts. Merideth
keeps going through half the song, while the alarms and lights are flickering. Finally an announcement
was made and she walked off stage in character. The show resumes after the evactuation where she left
off. It should be noted Richard Blake is the best Fiyero ever, in my opinion. A-
Wicked
3/8/09 ~ Broadway
Nicole Parker, Alli Mauzey, Aaron Tveit, Anthony Galde (u/s Wizard), Jayne Houdyshell, Cristy Candler,
Alex Brightman, Timothy Britten Parker. The first few minutes of each act is blacked out as well short
blackouts during TWAI, OSD, and ALAYM. There is a head on the far right that was worked around, but it
does block Morrible's speech during DG, and about half of Boq's piece of MOTWH; good mix of wides,
mediums, and closeups throughout the show. There's very little washout overall, even in most of the
wides; excellent sound throughout the show. Nice video in 2 DVDs. A-
Wicked
03/29/2009 ~ 2nd National Tour, Florida.
Marcie Dodd, Helene Yorke, Colin Donnell, Tom McGowan, Merilyn Caskey, Kristine Reese, Ted Ely,
David DeVries. Full capture in 16:9 widescreen with the first couple minutes of each act are blacked out,
some head obstructions but filmer works around them as best as he/she could. A good mix of wides,
mediums, and close-ups throughout the show, so you get a full range of the actors expressions, as well
as being able to see how some of the blocking and set movement is different for this tour. There's very
little washout, and the sound is excellent throughout. B+
Wicked
4/26/09 ~ San Francisco, CA matinee
Vicki Noon (s/b Elphaba), Kendra Kassebaum, Nicolas Dromard, David Garrison, Patty Duke, Deedee
Magno Hall, Eddy Rioseco, Tim Talman (u/s Dillamond). One head in the middle that blocks the actors'
feet/legs sometimes, and there are heads on either side that pop into frame occasionally; first couple of
minutes of each act are blacked out, and there are two long-ish blackouts. One is from the middle of What
Is This Feeling till part way through the classroom scene. The other is the last couple minutes of the
show; the video ends at "it's looking at things another way," and the rest of the finale is audio only. 2

Angel Reda (u/s Elphaba), Kendra Kassebaum, Nicolas Dromard, David Garrison, Patty Duke, Deedee
Magno Hall, Eddy Rioseco, Tim Talman (u/s Dillamond). Nice video of the Actor's Fund performance; first
couple minutes of each act are blacked out, and a couple others here and there, but all short; quite a few
heads in the way and they do get distracting; more close-ups than usual from this taper; includes curtain
call and Nicolas's Actor's Fund speech; excellent sound throughout the show 2 DVDs A-
Wicked
6/14/09 ~ Indianapolis, Matinee
Carrie Manolakos (s/b Elphaba), Helene Yorke, Colin Donnell, Kristine Reese, Marilyn Caskey, Tom
McGowan, Ted Ely, David De Vries. Great capture of the second national tour. Carrie does a wonderful
job as Elphaba and has a fantastic voice. Helene as does a great job as Glinda and quite different. A

Wicked
6/28/09 ~ Broadway
Nicole Parker, Laura Woyasz (s/b Glinda), Kevin Kern, Kathy Santen (u/s Madame Morrible), PJ
Benjamin, Cristy Candler, Alex Brightman, Timothy Britten Parker. Laura Woyasz's first performance as
Glinda in New York; washout throughout but gets better in Act 2; video has almost no obstructions but
there is sometimes a head at the bottom of the screen and a few drop-outs, the longest during "No One
Mourns the Wicked"; completely missing is the first verse or so of "As Long As You're Mine" (it picks up at
"I'll make every last moment last") due to battery change 2 DVDs A-
Wicked
08/16/2009 ~ 1st National Tour.
Donna Vivino, Katie Rose Clarke, Richard H. Blake, Lenny Wolpe, Myra Lucretia Taylor, Amanda Rose,
Ben Liebert, Paul Slade Smith. A great capture of Katie's last performance on the tour. Some short
blackouts during WITF, the Thrillifying News scene, and the beginning of WWOTE, but none lasts more
than a minute. There's one head at the bottom center that gets in the way sometimes, but filmer worked
around it fine. There were a couple other heads that were very fidgety, so they pop in and out of frame
occasionally, and they're particularly annoying during the Lion Cub scene and WWOTE, but they never
block much for more than a few seconds at a time. Very little washout except for a little in some of the
wides. 2 DVDs. A-
Wicked
09/27/2009 ~ Broadway
Dee Roscioli, Erin Mackey, Kevin Kern, Rondi Reed, PJ Benjamin, Michelle Federer, Alex Brightman,
Timothy Britten Parker. The first DVD of Dee, Erin, and Rondi on Broadway. Shot from the orchestra with
a mix of wide and medium shots. There are some brief blackouts, mostly in Act 1, and the video is a little
fidgety up until "Dancing Through Life". There was a woman with some big hair in front of me for Act 1,
but she doesn't block anything important for very long. She and her friends moved, so Act 2 is better than
Act 1. A-
Wicked
9/27/09 ~ Broadway
Dee Roscioli, Erin Mackey, Kevin Kern, Rondi Reed, PJ Benjamin, Michelle Federer, Alex Brightman,
Timothy Britten Parker. Great to see Dee on Broadway finally. The real treat is Michelle's return to

energy from the cast. A
Wicked
12/08/2009 ~ Australia
Jenny DiNoia. This is Jenny DiNoias final performance as Elphaba in Australia, shot from the orchestra

in 16:9 widescreen. Audio from external MD recorder which is very clear. Almost no obstructions (perhaps
briefly when the woman in front leaned forward in her seat) and very few blackouts (only in between
scenes). Mix of wide shots and close zooms, depending on action in scene. A
Wicked
3/7/10 ~ Dayton, Ohio
Marcie Dodd, Helene Yorke, Colin Donnell, Don Amendolia, Erin Wilson (u/s Morrible), Jacqui Graziano
(u/s Nessarose), Zach Hanna, David De Vries. Final performance of some of the original 2NT cast; no
blackouts other than the first minute or so of each act and two or three of the applauses; little shakey
picture from time to time; some washout here and there; no obstructions and very good sound; includes
the curtain call and Marcie's emotional farewell speech. Nice video 2 DVDs A
Wicked
4/9/10 ~ Broadway
Mandy Gonzalez, Katie Rose Clark, Rondi Reed, PJ Benjamin, Andy Karl, Alex Brightman, Jenny Fellner.
Fantastic capture of the new Broadway cast. Mandy gives a few riffs which are nice. Katie still remains
one of the best Glindas out there. Great to watch Rondi change and evolve her portrayal of Morrible. A
Wicked
4/28/10 ~ West End, London
Rachel Tucker, Louise Dearman, Lewis Bradley, Stevie Tate-Bauer (u/s Nessa), Julie Legrand, Clive
Carter, George Ure, Julian Forsyth. Rachel did a fantastic job as Elphaba. She has a big, brassy,
powerful voice that fills the theater. Great to see a new London cast after all these years and they did not
disappoint! A-
Wicked
5/23/10 ~ Oberhausen, Germany
Willemijn Verkaik, Joana Fee Wurz, Bero Antunovic (u/s Fiyero), Barbara Raunegger, Carlo Lauber,
Janine Tippl, Ben Darmanin . Filmed from the centre of the theatre's raised stalls, source recordings are
completely free of any obstructions and provide a great view of the stage; colors are nice and vibrant and
the coloring is almost identical on both source recordings, making for nice transitions between shots and
the action is followed extremely well; two camcorders were used to film the show, so virtually everything is
captured perfectly, even events happening at different places on the stage (the beginning of "What is this
feeling?", various ensemble solo lines etc.); the two recordings are edited together so as to provide the
best possible visual experience of the show. In German A
Wicked
November 23, 2010 ~ Apollo Victoria Theatre, London, UK
Rachel Tucker, Sarah Earnshaw (s/b Glinda), Lee Mead (Fiyero), Julie Legrand, Julian Forsyth,
Cassandra Compton, Danny Mac (u/s Boq), Gareth Chart (u/s Dr. Dillamond). The show is filmed from a
lovely angle in central stalls, and the action is followed extremely well, using various types of shots as
appropriate. Some heads appear only occasionally in the bottom of wider shots, but such instances are
brief and nothing of importance is obstructed. A great video for any fan of both the London production and
the show itself. A-
Wicked
12/18/10 ~ Chicago, Matinee
Tour: Carla Stickler (u/s Elphaba), Chandra Lee Schwartz, Richard H. Blake, Barbara Robertson, Gene
Weygandt, Stefanie Brown, Justin Brill, Paul Slade Smith. Captured from the first row makes for some
great shots, on full stage shots the bottom of the stage can be seen. Carla makes for a fresh Elphaba and
has lots of energy. Great to see a solid tour cast again! A
Wicked
12/18/10 ~ Chicago, Evening
Mariand Torres (s/b Elphaba), Chandra Lee Schwartz, Richard H. Blake, Barbara Robertson, Gene

dropouts in act one and a couple in act two, but they only last about three minutes all together. Its filmed
