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

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+

The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber
02/20/2010
David Josefsberg, Kevin Kern, Howard McGillin, Laurie Gayle Stephenson, Kathy Voytko, Deone Zanotto.
A nice capture of this wonderful concert. The top of the projections at the back of the stage are blocked
by the top of the stage, but they're just the show names/logos, and if you're watching this dvd, you
probably know what they are anyway. There are two very small blackouts during Unexpected Song for 30
seconds each, and then all of Starlight Express (Starlight sequence) is blacked out. The rest of the
concert is filmed in mostly close-ups, with the occasional medium or wide shot when there were multiple
singers. There is some washout in the wides, but no obstruction at all, and the sound is excellent as
usual. A

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

Belle with a beautiful voice, and she and Darick have a nice chemistry. Kristin is also a standout; her
rendition of of the title song is lovely. The show is captured from start to finish with no blackouts, no
obstruction, and no washout. Some scenes, including the prologue and the wolf attacks, are very dark
and hard to make out, but thats the only minor flaw in an otherwise fantastic video. 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. Includes curtain call. In 2 DVDs A

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

The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas Goes Public


5/13/94 ~ Broadway
Dee Hoty, Ronn Carroll, Kevin Cooney, David Doty, Scott Holmes, Joe Hart. Directed and
choreographed by Tommy Tune. RARE FIND! "A sequel to the 1978 hit The Best Little Whorehouse in
Texas, it is more a series of burlesque-style sketches and musical interludes than a traditional book
musical. Hoping to recover $26 million in back taxes owed them by Las Vegas whorehouse Stallion
Fields, the IRS lures former brothel madam Mona Stangley out of retirement to run the operation.
Complications arise when billionaire Sam Dallas arranges the sale of shares in the enterprise on the
stock exchange and right-wing politician Senator A. Harry Hardast objects to his plan. The Vegas locale
allows for an ongoing parade of barely-dressed showgirls in glitzy Bob Mackie-esque costumes, Sonny
and Cher, Elvis Presley, Liberace, and Siegfried and Roy impersonators, and a two-bit stand-up comic
acting as emcee against a background of flashing neon lights and accompanied by the sound of ever-
jangling slot machines." Broadway flop with just 12 official performances. Fairly good video, filmed from
the orchestra section, mostly a full stage shot. Much spotlight washout, with heads along the bottom of
the screen throughout, but completely watchable. B

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

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-

Gavin Creel (Elder Price), Jared Gertner (Elder Cunningham), Samantha Marie Ware (Nabulungi), Kevin
Mambo (Mafala Hatimbi), Grey Henson (Elder McKinley), Derek Williams (Genereal ButFuckingNaked),
Josh Breckenridge (Doctor), Jeffery David Sears (Doctor). The DVD was filmed in a 16:9 ratio in a
combination of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The only obstruction is a head in the very middle of the
screen and one off to the side. The head in the middle is only visible in the very far wides, the head on the
left side of the screen is rarely ever there except for a couple of seconds at the end of the first act. Both
heads are shot around as best as possible. About 10 seconds of the video is missing, because the two
people that were supposed to sit next to me where late, It is split into two parts. I managed to recover
what was lost from the back-up audio recording I took. There are a couple of washouts and whiteouts that
occur but only really during the wides. They are randomly dispersed so it doesn't affect the video too
much. At a couple of times the DVD is a little blurry and gets a little shaky but other than that it is pretty
good. B

11/18/12 ~ Broadway
K.J Hippensteel (u/s Elder Price), Cale Krise, Nikki M. James, Rory O'Malley, Michael Potts, Brian Tyree

there's some wandering and sometimes the camera is pointed too high. Hello is there, some
of Two by Two, but You and Me is audio only; Act 2 is much better and focuses on the stage throughout;
sound is good; good video 2 DVDs B

This is the first known DVD of the 2NT, and the cast doesnt disappoint. David and Cody are strong leads
with great voices and comedic timing. Pierce is perfect as McKinley. Tallia also does a great job; she has
a strong belt and does an endearing rendition of Sal Tlay Ka Siti. This is a very nice capture with no
obstruction or blackouts, and only a bit of washout in superwide shots of high-contrast scenes. The video
is very steady and the sound is excellent as usual. Its filmed in 16:9 with a mix of wides, mediums, and

(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

both issues are fixed after All That Jazz. Very little washout except in a few high-contrast wide shots. Its

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

Florodora, In Concert
8/09 ~ San Jose, CA
Michael Crozier, Nicholas Patton, David Powell, Mark Blattel, Diane Squires, Cara Ross Arellano.
Presented by the Lyric Theatre Of San Jose. Florodora is an Edwardian musical comedy and became
one of the first successful Broadway musicals of the 20th century. The book was written by Jimmy Davis
under the pseudonym Owen Hall, the music was by Leslie Stuart with additional songs by Paul Rubens,
and the lyrics were by Edward Boyd-Jones and Rubens. The original London production opened in 1899
where it ran for a very successful 455 performances. The New York production, opening in 1900 was
even more popular, running for 552 performances. After this, the piece was produced throughout the
English-speaking world and beyond. The show was famous for its double sextet and its chorus line of
"Florodora Girls". The piece was popular with amateur theatre groups, particularly in Britain, into the
1950s. The first musical theatre "cast recording" was made of the show. Florodora's famous double
sextet, "Tell Me Pretty Maiden", became the most successful show tune of its time. A good part of the
success of the musical was attributed to its lovely sextet of chorines, called "the English Girls" in the
score, but soon popularly dubbed the "Florodora Girls". These six roles were filled by identically sized
women, all 5 ft. 4 in. and 130 lb, and were the object of popular adoration: young male admirers
persuaded many to leave the show to marry them, and more than 70 women played these roles in the
first run of the play in New York. Filmed using multiple cameras. A

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+

act two; a couple of heads in the way, which get annoying at times, but taper tried to work around them;
very slight washout, good sound with closeups and wide shots 2 DVDs. A-

effort to emulate the "energy" of a theatrical setting, live audiences were incorporated into the
production's stagings. Grease: Live was broadcast from Warner Bros. Studios, utilizing two soundstages

scaffold is supported by a tripod at cast level, and the cast weaves around it while performing. Good
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
of highlights. A

Hair
1/8/2014 ~ Hollywood Bowl, LA
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

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-

Tsidii Le Loka (Rafiki), Jason Raize (Simba), Heather Headley (Nala), Max Casella (Timon), Tom Alan
Robbins (Pumba), Geoff Hoyle (Zazu). This video was filmed two nights after opening night from the left
box seat, making the angles extreme and blocking the upper stage right corner. You can also see into the
wings occasionally, which can be distracting as the actors are out of character. The clarity of a video this
old is quite impressive. Some generational loss but still a nice recording of the Original Broadway Cast.

Addo, Gary Forbes, Mark Sangster. The first hour of Act 1 with no blackouts and action well followed. The
only obstruction there is a head of a child which was getting fidgety towards the end so at times it gets in

have turned out to be the best Lion King video out there because its beautifully captured in 16:9 wide-

1990 ~ Broadway
George Hearn, Betty Garrett and the Original Broadway Cast. Incredibly Nice video considering its age.

1981 ~ Broadway
Jason Alexander, Marianna Allen, Liz Callaway, David Cady, Sally Klein, David Loud, Jim
Walton. RARE! Another video that has been hidden away for years has been found! Well filmed from
the balcony-but unfortunately some generational loss. Still watchable-but far from perfect. However, this
is the best copy of the show I have seen, and considering it's over 25 years old-not too bad. No static or
anything-just a lack of sharpness. B-

July 2013 ~ London
Mark Umbers (Franklin Shepard), Damian Humbley (Charles Kringas), Jenna Russell (Mary Flynn),

(Gussie Carnegie), Julie Jupp (Dory/Evelyn), Glyn Kerslake (Joe Josephson), Elana Martin, Amanda
Minihan (Scotty/Mrs Spencer), Kirk Patterson (Bunker/Newsman/Reverend), Amy Ellen Richardson (KT),
Ashley Robinson (Tyler), Robbie Scotcher (Jerome), Zizi Strallen (Meg Kincaid), Joseph West (Frank
Junior), Joanna Woodward (Newswoman/Waitress). A video of the recently closed London revival of
Merrily We Roll along. This production received more 5-star reviews than any show in West End history
and it deserves every single one of them. The entire cast is terrific and, under Maria Friedman's direction,
really brings the material to life in the best way possible. The main trio (Umbers, Humbley, Russell) are
absolute perfection in their roles; Gabrielle, Foster and Kerslake are stunning as the "supporting trio" and
particular ensemble standouts include Amy Ellen Richardson's KT and Kirk Patterson's newsman. All in
all, an excellent cast of performers, who kept getting better throughout the show's run and are in top form
here. Good luck to the creatives in charge of recasting this for the upcoming Broadway run; I'm sure it
won't be easy. The video is filmed from central back stalls. The view of the stage is clear asides from
some head obstruction in the lower right corner of the screen. The action is followed very well, using a
mix of shots as necessary. All in all, a very good video of a brilliant production. A-

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-

Kate Fry (Eliza Doolittle), Kevin Gudahl (Henry Higgins), John Reeger (Colonel Pickering), Bradley Mott

sisters (which, by the way, are temporarily being stored in the freezer). In order to raise money to bury the

no blackouts and minimal head obstruction which is limited to the very bottom of the screen in wide shots.
The action is followed very well, using various types of shots as necessary. One slight drawback to the

an extremely well-filmed capture of the show. A-

of the recently opened West End production of the show. The show was welcomed with open arms in
both London and Dublin (where it did a brief out-of-town stint), and this cast definitely deserves the
praise. The two leads have amazing chemistry, and the supporting cast are just as great. The video is
almost complete, excluding the following: cca. half of "Leave" and "If You Want Me", and a few more brief
blackouts (usually not more than a few seconds) in the first act. The video is filmed from back stalls, with
a pretty good view of the stage. As in my recent Blood Brothers videos, there is some head obstruction in
the bottom of the screen but it is shot around well. The action is also followed very well, using a variety of
shots as needed. All in all, a great video of a lovely show. A-

Oscar Hammerstein II: Out of My Dreams


3/6/12 ~ PBS
Hosted by Matthew Morrison, this compelling and extremely informative documentary profiles the man
who changed American musical theater forever, Oscar Hammerstein II, legendary lyricist for over 1,000
songs and librettist for forty-five works. Writer/director/producer JoAnn Young has selected the most
exemplary clips from Hammersteins iconic musicals, including two film versions of Show Boat; the rarely
seen film Lady Be Good; and archival footage of the two original stars of Carousel, Jan Clayton and John
Raitt. Young also has conducted new interviews with Stephen Sondheim, who considers Hammerstein as
a musical and surrogate father; director/producer Harold Prince; two stars of Rodgers and Hammerstein
musicals, Shirley Jones and Mitzi Gaynor, Hammerstein family members and others. This PBS film also
considers Hammersteins work as a humanitarian and political activist. Archival footage also includes a
rare 1958 Hammerstein television interview with CBS News' Mike Wallace and a handful of recorded
conversations. His late wife Dorothy and son James are also represented in archival interviews. "Oscar
Hammerstein II Out of My Dreams" also promises clips from the Rodgers and Hammerstein film
musicals "Oklahoma!," "Carousel," "South Pacific," "The King and I" and "The Sound of Music"; as well as
"Show Boat," co-authored with Jerome Kern, and a performance of the Academy Award-winning Kern-
Hammerstein song "The Last Time I Saw Paris." Segments from the 2008 Broadway production of South
Pacific appear as well, shown during a pledge drive, so there are breaks to raise money, 90 minutes.

Manjiro, Scott Watanabe singing a memorable "Bowler Hat" as Kayama, and Mikio Hirata as a forceful
Reciter. Jacqueline McSwanson (the production uses actresses for the female roles) stands out as both

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

change it. And Stella is simply over it. It's the New York entertainment 'scene' in all its boozing,

rendition of Climb Every Mountain. There are no obstructions and no dropouts. There is a bit of washout
in places, especially in the wide shots. Its filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups.

the back of the balcony and it looks like he left the camcorder in his lap, so what was filmed is the top 3/4
of the stage, and the ceiling. You miss much of what is happening on stage, because the camcorder was
aimed too high. But you can still hear everything and occasionally get a glimpse of what is going on C-

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-

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

The Story Of My Life

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
6/20/09 ~ Indianapolis, Matinee
Carrie Manolakos (s/b Elphaba), Michelle London (u/s Glinda), Colin Donnell, Kristine Reese, Marilyn

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
Nessarose. She gives a great, original and true performance as Nessa. Beautiful capture with lots of
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
with lot of obstructions. This DVD is to be enjoyed for audio purposes but I am glad to see a DVD come
out from Australia. C+

Julie Reiber (Elphaba s/b), Erin Mackey, Kevin Kern, Rondi Reed, P.J. Benjamin, Michelle Federer, Alex
Brightman, Timothy Britten Parker, Michael DeVries, Samantha Zack, Brian Wanee (Chistery u/s). Filmed
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
Weygandt, Stefanie Brown, Justin Brill, Paul Slade Smith. Great capture of the first national tour cast.

Great to see a solid tour cast again! A

Wicked
10/12/11~ Peoria, IL
Mamie Parris, Amanda Jane Cooper, Colin Hanlon, Stefanie Brown, Alma Cuervo, Mark Jacoby, Paul

performed. Alma still gives a great Morrible as does Stefanie as Nessa. A

filmed with no blackouts, no washout, and no obstruction. Its filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides,

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