# - A (101 recordings)

Trading notes: Nicely filmed, but a bit shaky at times. DVD has nice root menu and scene selection with thumbnails.

Trading notes: Filmed in 4K, released in 1080p and 4K. First 2/3 of show was accidentally filmed on manual focus—wider shots look perfectly fine, but the few closer zooms are blurry until the start of The I Love You Song when it was switched to automatic focus. Closing performance of the production. Hilarious though subtle series of events when Kilty accidentally broke the spelling bee trophy after Woe Is Me (Reprise) and the cast hilariously worked with the broken top piece for the rest of the show. Includes curtain call.

Master's notes: Excellent capture of this wonderful revival! Shot in a great mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups, with a focus on wides in earlier parts of the show to get all the acting choices. Some increased wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout. Audio is patched in from an external source. Some disruptive audience noises. A few brief dropouts and obstructions from latecomers, as well as obstruction on the bottom and left side of the screen that is worked around well and never obstructs significant action. Overall an excellent capture, and about as good as you'll get in that space. This video should not be listed with a month.

Master's notes: Good 4k capture of this fun show! Shot in a mix of mediums, wides, and closeups, with some more wide shots to emphasize the ensemble nature of the piece. Starts slightly after Lilli's entrance, with the first thirty seconds of video blacked out, and another blackout about 10 minutes in, when the audience was asked to stand up. Shot over the mezzanine ledge to the best of my ability, but it appears in most wide shots. Some shakiness from readjusting the frame every so often to ensure the ledge's presence was minimal, and actor's feet can be blocked off by it, but most mediums and closeups are not affected. I was sitting next to perhaps the loudest laugher in the entire world, apologies about that. Includes bows.

Master's notes: Single camera mixed quality.

Master's notes: Great close up stage shot of the US premiere of this new musical. There is one prominent head always in the frame but never really obstructing any action. This show is very bright, but the video never reaches the point of washout. A few moments of blurriness in act two. Includes subtitles!

Master's notes: Solid 4K capture of this exceptional musical in its US Premiere! Even though I had great rake, a very tall man sat in front of me and obstructs about 1/5th of the stage but I work around him the best I can. Minimal action missed - I handle the obstruction better in Act 2 than in Act 1. The first 90 seconds of Act 1 and first 60 seconds of Act 2 are audio only. 1 very short blackout in Act 1, and 2 very short blackouts in Act 2. Despite the obstruction, shot in a nice mix of closeups, mediums, and wides. Moments of readjustment, washout, and focusing issues throughout. Audio fed from external source. TLDR: What makes a man try to fly in a lawn chair? B

Trading notes: Single camera archival proshot. Uploaded to Youtube by the same person who transferred it from a first-generation VHS tape.

Trading notes: First recording featuring Nadine Issenegger as Peggy. Filmed from right balcony. 11 minutes of footage: beginning scene of Maggie, girls and Peggy heading out to eat, Go Into Your Dance, scene with Julian and Peggy getting hired and Boadwalk scene.

Trading notes: This is a re-imagined production by the Drury Lane Theatre in Illinois, with hoofer and rhythm-style tap, as well as jazz funk orchestrations.

Trading notes: The second West End revival of 42nd Street starring Bonnie Langford as Dorothy Brock who previously played as Peggy in a UK Tour. This production is a replica of the 2001 Broadway revival, featuring Mark Bramble as director, Randy Skinner as Choreographer, Douglas W. Schmidt as the set designer and Roger Kirk as the costume designer. Released to cinemas and later on streaming and Blu-Ray. Can be found across various streaming services and on DVD/Blu-Ray. File info and quality varies across traders, latest release (on streaming) is 4K.

Trading notes: Multi-Cam proshot, with a mix of medium and wide shots

Trading notes: Not full show but every song is recorded. Only a few bits here and there are missing, such as dialogue-heavy scenes. A wide-shot recording from the balcony. Performed in English with French surtitles.

Trading notes: Final pre-Broadway performance! Amazing show and so much fun. This is one of my new favorite shows and one of the funniest musicals I've been to. The three ladies are insanely talented and command, own, and steal the show. Stephanie's big number, Get Out and Stay Out will stun you. No obstructions and beautifully captured! A

Trading notes: Often confused for SunsetBlvd79's video from the same performance.

Trading notes: Often confused for SunsetBlvd79's video from the same performance.

Trading notes: Beautiful capture of this amazing show. Terrific show with so much talent and wonderful fun songs. Stephanie continues to knock it out of the park, Megan is pure perfection and Allison's comedic timing is hilarious. There are no obstructions in this wonderful capture. A+

Trading notes: Act One only of the Broadway opening night; shot in 16:9 widescreen. Coverups during 9 to 5, the second half of I Just Might and the scene right before Backwoods Barbie and about a minute at the end of the dream sequences; camera also wanders sometimes and heads in the wide shots when taper zoomed out to get the whole picture; DVD includes Get Out and Stay Out from the April 17th performance with Gaelen Gilliland as Judy.Well-shot from the orchestra.There is sometimes the top of a head at the bottom of the screen, but it never blocks Gaelen.

Trading notes: One head in the way at times and the first couple of minutes of each act are blacked out. Second half of I Just Might is very shaky and slightly blacked out. Good sound throughout. Nice clear video.

Trading notes: NFT only through master until March 1st 2026 Google Drive only currently Single shot phone boot, heavy washout and high saturation. Cut during middle of Get out and stay out due to battery issues, recovers 2ish minutes later Includes Act 1, Act 2, and Full audio of Get out and stay out, and the curtain call from another performance (near same seat on the other side)

Trading notes: Full show originally shared to YouTube and ripped in highest quality (720p).

Trading notes: Gorgeous capture of this hilarious and thought-provoking farce. A head occasionally leans into the frame and there are a few brief adjustments; otherwise, beautifully filmed. Shot in 4K with external audio synced. Includes curtain call.

Trading notes: T/W: This video contains a PETA advertisement at the beginning, which contains graphic images and may be distressing. This was included by the master on release. Beautiful capture of the show that is sure to change before Broadway. The talent is wonderful from every aspect and there are a lot great moments in the show. A Screenshots are from the version that's 6.46 GB, which appears to be the original.

Master's notes: Beautiful capture of the new replacement cast. I found them the be surprisingly fresh and having a great time, which was very enjoyable! Also includes long BCEFA speech and auction of Morticia's ring and meet-and-greet with Brooke! A

Master's notes: Close up stageshot of a show containing three short plays themed around coming of age: The Pregame, Boys Don't Bleed, Effing It Up. Shot front row, so no obstruction, but I didn't film vertically (action that took place below chest level is out of frame) and the video skews heavily to the left side of the stage (action on the right side of the stage is also out of frame ;-;). Mostly stable save for moments of applause. Shot in 2K but edited to 1080p. The Pregrame Timestamp in Video - 00:00 Notes - Cute queer story about friendships and crushes. Set in a college dorm room. The actors sit on the floor at some point and the majority of the action during those scenes is out of frame. Boys Don't Bleed Timestamp in Video - 36:30 TW - Talk of bleeding and consuming (menstrual) blood Notes - Masc-vampire shares how they get their fix of blood. Dim video as stage lighting was only red lights. Action mostly centered, but the actor does step out of frame a few times. Effing It Up Timestamp in Video - 53:00 TW - Alcoholism, assault Notes - Young adult tries to navigate post-college life while coming to terms with her drinking problem. Action is relatively centered where possible but action on the right side of the stage is completely out of frame. Cast wasn't quite off book for this show and several of them have their scripts with them on stage. TLDR: Baby's first video!! Grade: D+

Trading notes: A semi-decent capture of this new musical produced by the 5th Avenue Theatre about grief, connection, and healing. Beautiful story, music, and performances! A fair bit of shakiness and some wandering because I cannot sit still, particularly at the start of both acts. Minimal obstruction, but a lot of wide shots and some dropouts in the first half of Act 1 because of usher activity. Notable shakiness (at ~15:00) and lack of action captured (at ~16:30) for most of one song in Act 1 because an usher was behind me and I was shooting blind. Also a very brief cut in the last scene of Act 1 when I accidentally stopped recording. I didnt always follow the action well since this was my first time seeing the show.

Trading notes: Against Women & Music! is an absurdist-horror Victorian chamber musical. Celine is a widow emerging from a year of mourning following her husband's death and grappling with her peculiar daughter Geneva's debut into high society. The doctor prescribes Geneva piano lessons, as the latest studies in women's health show that music can help finesse “emotional intelligence” and “act on the unconscious mind to communicate order.” But as these lessons progress, Celine discovers a sinister presence has possessed her daughter. Against Women & Music! has been developed at Turkey Land Cove Foundation, Rhinebeck Writers Retreat and The Civilians R&D Group with additional support from Theater Latté Da.

Trading notes: The 1966 CBS television broadcast of John Gielgud's Ages of Man was filmed at CBS Studios in London.

Trading notes: Excellent capture with many great close ups. Shot at a 2 pm show by Major. A Multiple copies circulate: VOB + Smalls (4.26 GB) - 2 discs and has a lot of generational loss. VOB + Smalls (2.21 GB) - Better copy however the color is off and the picture has some bending across the screen in wide shots. VOB + Smalls (2.49 GB) - 2nd Generation copy, rare in this condition and was received from SunsetBlvd79’s collection. Much better copy with great colors though it still isn’t as clear as the master copy which isn’t circulating. Screenshots below are from the 2nd Generation copy

Trading notes: Daniele Gatti (conductor)

Master's notes: Great capture of the pre-Broadway tour of Ain't Too Proud. Both acts are missing the first min or so. Can be a bit shaky at times but overall clear video with all close ups. Also includes acknowledgements to Otis Williams, Mary Wilson, and Berry Gordy who were in the audience. 2 DVDs.

Master's notes: Phone boot from the upper balcony with no zooms, but stabilized and zoomed in post. There is a bar in the shot that I did my best to shoot around. Act 1 is noticably blurrier than Act 2, and it also has two notable blackouts: 5 minutes near the beginning, and 3 minutes near the very end. The audio is an overlaid file (that I also released on its own). A bit shaky with a LOT of washout. Overall, a really great show though! The cast was great, the singing was amazing, and the music was seamlessly interwoven with the Temptations' originals. Do not post online publicly anywhere! NFT except thru master until November 1st, 2022.

Trading notes: This video recording has 3 audio channels; first channel is the main soundboard audio; second channel is the main audio with stage manager cues (stage manager calling the show); third channel is just the stage manager cues, without main audio of the show.

Trading notes: 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. It's filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. There's a lot of chatter and rustling from the audience, but the sound is otherwise excellent. Includes playbill scans.

Trading notes: Well filmed, mostly filmed in closeups, so occasionally you miss some of the other action onstage. A

Trading notes: Jonathan Freeman's last show.

Trading notes: gotta steal to eat

Trading notes: Beautiful HD capture of the newly launched tour. A terrific cast and a few new small variations to accommodate the tour on the road. A+

Trading notes: Beautiful recording, filmer has a steady hand and follows the action perfectly. Great video of this wonderful production.

Master's notes: A highlight reel of clips from the King's Theatre, Portsmouth's 2025 Pantomime - Aladdin. Keyboard 1/MD Keyboard 2 / Assistant Musical Director / Cover Conductor

Trading 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.

Trading notes: Brilliant capture of this show! Unobstructed aside from minor disruption in the final scenes due to people leaving early.

Trading notes: Not iPhone. Full stage. Single camera.

Trading notes: Excellent 4K capture of Daniel's debut as William! Almost entirely unobstructed except for one small head at the bottom that almost never blocks anything. A few short blackouts throughout the show because of latecomers (about 1 minute total), with the longest being in the scene before “The Night-Time Sky's…” Some minor wandering and unfocusing throughout. Includes curtain call, audio fed from external source.

Trading notes: Andy Karl's final performances. Full matinee show filmed from the balcony, around heads (excellent quality), evening performance highlights filmed from the orchestra on some kind of small camera (fuzzy audio/video).

Trading notes: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6846134/

Master's notes: Act 1 only. Subpar stageshot of this wonderful play. There is mild head obstruction that doesn't block much action, but the main fault is the whole video is out of focus. Moments of readjustment throughout. Action is frequently uncentered, and some action is cut off outside of frame. Oh well, any video is better than no video. Act 2 audio included in folder. TLDR: Salieri didn't just kill Mozart, he killed my video too (womp womp).

Trading notes: Great HD capture, a week before the closing performance. First 10 or so minutes are full stage shot, then zooming begins. Still a great cast with some great songs and moments in the show. A-

Trading notes: One-night reading of Wendy Wasserstein’s 1997 play An American Daughter. The evening, directed by Oscar winner Christine Lahti, was presented by the Indigo Theatre Project for the benefit of the organization She Should Run, a nonprofit organization “working to create a culture that inspires women and girls to aspire towards public leadership.” Cuts off in the middle of Act 2, Scene 4; this is the final scene of the play, so estimating about 10-15 minutes missing of the total runtime. 2.85 GB MOV file; do not know if this is the original format/file.

Master's notes: Excellent capture of this incredibly transformative production in previews! Shot in a great mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups, wider than usual overall due to the nature of the staging. Obstruction on the bottom left of the stage that only blocks some minor action and is worked around well. Some wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout. A couple of brief dropouts. Does not include the post-bows song. Audio is patched in from an external source. Overall a wonderful capture.

Trading notes: Aired as part of PBS Great Performances on November 2, 2018. Can be found across various streaming services and on DVD/Blu-Ray. File info and quality varies across traders, latest release (on streaming) is 4K.

Trading notes: Excellent HD capture of the final few weeks before the show would close on Broadway on June 5th. Still wonderful performances from the whole cast; shame it didn't find its audience. Minor settling in during the first couple minutes of show. A

Trading notes: Considering the circumstances, this is a great capture of the Chicago premiere of this show. This production was staged on a runway down the middle of a large room. Audience was seated on both sides of the stage and actors were frequently in all of the aisles. As a result, actors backs are sometimes facing the camera and ensemble actors sometimes obscure the main action in a scene. Because of the layout, it was impossible to capture the entire stage/runway, so only the middle of the runway is filmed. Unfortunately Act Two was very dark so, while most of the action is there, sometimes the picture is less than stellar from the attempt to lighten the footage enough to see anything. Lastly, lots of reactions can be heard from the woman next to me (she was drunk and had several friends in the show so was super vocal). Despite the aforementioned issues, it's a pretty good video and perfectly watchable.

Master's notes: Great capture of this fantastic revival! Shot in a great mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups, with an emphasis on wides due to the nature of the staging. Some wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout. Some obstruction on the bottom and right hand corner of the stage, it blocks a bit of action but is worked around well. Audio is patched in from an external source; some scraping and rustling might be heard during readjustment periods. Overall a great capture of this cult classic musical!

Trading notes: This new musical is absolutely fantastic and is likely to do very well when it hits Broadway this season. Christy is perfectly cast as Anya, and she has great chemistry with Derek, Mary, and the rest of the cast. The music, sets, and costumes are all beautifully done as well. This is nearly perfectly captured with no obstruction and just a couple quick very dropouts. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes playbill scans.

Master's notes: Great HD capture of the Broadway transfer. There are a few short scenes/moments far stage right blocked by a head, but nothing major. Beautiful production, performances and cast to match! A-

Trading notes: Actors Benefit Performance. Includes post-show speeches.

Trading notes: Aired on PBS. Directed by George C. Scott Released on DVD as part of the Broadway Theatre Archive

Master's notes: For one night only in the gorgeous Appel Room, Andrew Rannells brings his signature blend of superb vocal prowess and wry wit to a sparkling set of songs. Filmed for Live From Lincoln Center.

Trading notes: A musical from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, with its Book adapted by Peter Hall, Lyrics by Adrian Mitchell and Music by Richard Peaslee.

Master's notes: Excellent capture of this new production's insane first preview! Shot in a great mix of wides and mediums, with some close-ups scattered in. Some wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout, increased in act 2. There is a show stop about 50 minutes in due to hundreds of glass bottles that were on the set all falling and shattering on the ground. This is kept in, and then jumps to when they restarted the show. You can hear the glass bottles still falling and shattering at multiple points in act two. Audio is patched in from an external source; some rustling and disruptive audience noises can be heard. Overall an excellent capture.

Trading notes: Ballet in 2 Acts.

Trading notes: After a Sold Out debut in September 2019 for its U.S Premiere (at the Center for Jewish History), Anne Frank, a Musicals debut video is released exclusively for TDF in July, 2021.

Trading notes: Highlights include most of the show. The menu identifies this as both the 28th and the 29th (it ran for three days, 27-29). Screenshots 2-4 are from act one, 5-6 are from act two. Act two is much quieter, and the video is very shaky (see screenshot 5).

Trading notes: TV Special aired on December 2, 2021

Master's notes: Excellent capture of this cute tour! Shot with alternate camera in a great mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. Some washout on wider shots. Some wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout. Some disruptive audience noises. Slight focus on the dog when the dog is onstage — can you blame me? Overall an excellent capture.

Trading notes: Very nice capture of the two-night only concert. Recorded from the back of the Balcony, but everything is nicely captured!

Trading notes: Is a 1974 videotaped television production of William Shakespeare's 1606 play of the same name, produced by ATV (which was distributed internationally by ITC) starring Richard Johnson as Mark Antony, Janet Suzman as Cleopatra, and Patrick Stewart as Enobarbus. It was directed by Jon Scoffield and is an adaptation of Trevor Nunn's Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) production of the play. It features then-little-known Ben Kingsley and Tim Pigott-Smith in small roles.

Trading notes: Includes the talkback with Stephen Sondheim, Casey Nicholaw and others.

Trading notes: One head on the right side of the screen, but it never blocks the action; no blackouts and very little washout throughout the show. Filmed in 16:9 with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. Great sound. Video includes curtain call and BC/EFA speech.

Trading notes: Broadcast to UK cinemas and then on BBC Two.

Master's notes: A fantastic capture of this Tony winning production. In about two or three scenes an actor is blocked by a light positioned on the far right (see screencaps) - this is brief though as the actors don’t stay there for long. Recording includes the curtain call and marquee.

Master's notes: Solid capture of this mammoth play. Shot in a great mix of wides and mediums with a few close-ups due to the staging of the show. Increased wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout. Some heads pop into frame from time to time but never block significant action. Show stop in act 1. Audio is patched in from an external source; some scraping and rustling might be heard during readjustment periods. Overall a solid capture!

Trading notes: House-Camera of Theresa Heskins celebrated production, a cast of eight play over 125 characters, embark on this imaginative, high-spirited escapade including six trains, five boats, four fights, three dances, two circus acts and an elephant!

Trading notes: There is about a 90 second drop out towards the end in a book scene but screen caps have been put over the audio so its not just a black screen.

Master's notes: Screen Recording of the Vimeo Livestream. There is some tiny white pixelation in the camera capture, but the audio quality and footage is strong! Performance was altered, due to some illnesses, so there was a bonus appearance of J.J. Neiman. Stephen DeAngelis is the host and Rachel Dean was the MD (who also performed a song of her own).

Master's notes: Screen Recording of the Vimeo Livestream. There is some tiny white pixelation in the camera capture, but the audio quality and footage is strong!

Trading notes: Includes full show split into two acts, as well as 8 individual songs

Trading notes: Reunion Readings, part of The New Group Off Stage slate of projects, are digital broadcasts of play readings featuring the original casts from plays produced in The New Group’s first 25 years.

Trading notes: Great picture and sound with camera coverup occasionally throughout the video but not too distracting. The October 18, 2003 video filmed by the same master often gets mislabeled as this one. This video is also frequently mislabeled as July 20th. Master's list confirms the correct date is July 26. Includes extra clips of the show performing on the Tonys, Live With Regis & Kelly and The View. Also includes the same Breakfast with the Arts clip as the October 18th video (which likely causes the mislabel). Check screenshots to confirm, as they are different.

Trading notes: Decent video with okay closeups, picture and sound. Includes the cartoon video at the beginning. A

Trading notes: Excellent quality picture and sound. Occasional cover-ups but very good tape. Video includes A&E's Breakfast with the Arts segment. Sometimes mislabeled as July 26, 2003; check screenshots to confirm.

Trading notes: Filmed from the left balcony, good camera, good sound. Beautiful close-ups, especially for 2004. For sure the best OBC recording. A. There appear to be two separate folder structures floating around for this one. One with the correct smalls, which load a menu displaying Act I and Act II, and one with corrupted smalls, which load up a single blue-and-violet DVD menu.

Trading notes: Slight script changes from the Broadway version, and Gary is played by a man instead of a woman. Shot around hand railings and horrible sight lines. Includes around 75% of the show visually, full audio. Also contains exclusive CD track Time by the original London cast, only available at the theatre. B+

Master's notes: Several focus issues that last mere seconds. Overall a fantastic capture of this concert reunion with almost all of the original West End cast. Recording includes the curtain call and a shot of the outside of the theatre. Filmed in 4K. External audio used.

Master's notes: Good capture of this production’s final performance. Moderate head obstruction and adjusting, but otherwise a complete capture.

Master's notes: Good, unobstructed capture of this beautiful world premiere play. Some shakiness and adjustment throughout; sound is on the quieter side.
