"Company" to "De Alex Klaasen Revue" (42 recordings)

Master's notes: The last performance before the pandemic. It's a pretty well-shot video, though I accidentally stopped filming for a minute towards the end of act one before realizing and pressing record again.

Master's notes: First Preview

Trading notes: You can differentiate this boot from the other one by the same master by the fact that there is no rain at the end of act one.

Trading notes: Great HD capture from the left orchestra! During Company, some actors walking onto the stage from the aisles might block the video sometimes. A woman's coughing can be occasionally be heard. No curtain call.

Trading notes: Technical Notes: Stageshot. Excellent capture. No obstructions. Almost no washout. No dropouts. Excellent audio (though is apologetically bombarded by frequent scream laughing from me.) Theres a brief show stop immediately after the title number, and the video captures the curtain coming down and the resuming of the performance. The first act unfortunately loses its picture a few minutes after Not Getting Married today - especially unfortunate as the performance was one of the last which featured rain during Marry Me a Little. Shot from front row stage left. [A] Performance Notes: This production is the most premium musical theatre experience I have ever had in my life. I could simply go on for hours about how magnificent this entire production was - Katrinas bottomlessly fleshed-out interpretation of Bobbie, Patti LuPones masterclass display of performing, Jennifer Simards nomination-worthy comedy, Christopher Siebers perfect matching and prodding of his scene partner, Claybourne Elders show-stealing acting, Bobby Contes booming vocals, Marianne Elliots ability to make this total re-envisioning utterly airtight dramaturgically, Bunny Christies masterful and detailed set design, Neil Austins exacting lighting design executed to meticulous precision, Ian Dickinsons complex sound design. This is a thorough gift to Broadway and this video captures a performance at its absolutely perfect settling point.

Trading notes: Filmed in 4K (released as 1080p and 4K), external audio source except from the nightclub to the end. The camera settings weren't ideal for the lighting of the show, so there are a few times the picture is a tad blurry or there are faint rolling bars visible. Minor obstruction from a couple heads, but shot around as best as possible. A few brief drop-outs. Great getting to see Nicholas Rodriguez as David and Jacob Dickey as Paul.

Trading notes: Act One is a phone stageshot and incomplete, ending at Andy's part in 'Another Hundred People,' picking up with another seven minute clip in the scene after 'Getting Married Today.' Act Two is a camera video with zooms and is complete, but wanders frequently and doesn't follow the action very well. Both acts couldn't capture action on the far left side of the stage due to the angle. Includes curtain call.

Trading notes: Filmed in 4K (released as 1080p and 4K). External audio source. A little spotlight washout in a few scenes, but camera settings were adjusted from previous video, so overall much improved (no more rolling bars). A little shaky now and then, some obstruction from heads in a couple scenes—shot around as well as possible. Jennifer Simard downright SHINES as Joanne and does perhaps the best Ladies Who Lunch I've heard—too bad she isn't eligible for a Tony for this role. Never to be sold except by master, never to be posted anywhere online.

Trading notes: Different night from the March 2022 (1) video, during the week Jennifer Simard was on as Joanne. Filmed on phone from front mezzanine, cropped and fine-tuned in post editing, mostly wide stage-shot with minimal zooms, external audio source. Act 1 looks far better than Act 2 (unsure if Act 2 was just too dark or if phone settings were off). Act 1 is fairly clear and well-captured. Act 2 is dark and grainy, and drifts from action a couple of times. See screenshots for overview. Never to be sold except by master, never to be posted anywhere online.

Trading notes: Nikkis Bobbie debut

Trading notes: Excellent HD capture of Jennifer Simard as Joanne! Show stop happened right during the transition to the David and Jenny scene (33:05); the showstop is cut out. Filmed from center mezzanine with mostly no obstructions. Minor washout and wandering throughout. Some minor obstruction on the full bottom that doesn't cover much. No curtain call.

Trading notes: Filmed in 4K (released as 1080p and 4K), external audio. Only minor obstructions at the bottom in wider shots. Short drop-outs for applause and latecomers. Steady filming throughout—perhaps my best Company video so far! Britney Coleman's debut performance as Bobbie and many understudies alongside her—a joy to see different takes on roles! Never to be sold except by master, never to be posted anywhere online.

Trading notes: Technical Notes: Excellent camcorder video captured in 4K. No obstructions and no washout. A brief dropout around the beginning of Have I Got A Guy For You. Great audio. Shot from the back of the balcony centre stage. [A] Performance Notes: A just-about-perfect capture of a hugely significant evening for Marianne Elliott’s Company: the first performance following the Tony Award nomination ceremony where the production became the most nominated revival of the season. Matt Doyle's debut Tony nomination, EIGHT-time Tony-nominee Patti LuPone, Katina Lenk taking on her deafening snub with one of the best performances of this character I've ever seen, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, it is the very performance that gave us Chris Harper pays my salary. (The video features a modified pre-show and post-show speech from Rashidra Scott, acknowledging the talkback following the performance.) When people say bootlegs are the preservation of theatrical history, this is what they're fuckin talking about.

Trading notes: Excellent 4K capture of this show's final performance. There are occasional moments of wandering and unfocusing. Includes curtain call and the closing speech, audio is fed from external source.

Master's notes: Nice, unobstructed video with a mix of close ups and wide shots, and lots of focus on staging and choreography.

Master's notes: Excellent capture of CJ’s debut as Susan in this stunning tour! Shot in a great mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. Some wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout. Some minor moments of unfocusing and a couple of brief dropouts. Britney is a jaw dropping Bobbie and gives a pitch perfect performance. External audio patched in from Steponmeshoeman. Overall a wonderful capture of this incredible show.

Trading notes: After an unexpected premature closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the company of Broadways Jagged Little Pill reunites to share stories and songs in celebration of their time spent together!

Master's notes: Grab a drink (or a crab cake) and get cozy with Anna K. Jacobs, the Jonathan Larson Award-winning composer behind off-Broadway’s smash hit musical, Teeth (“a bloody, bawdy musical with banging songs” – Vulture). Featuring a dazzling line-up of friends and collaborators, Anna will share songs from her varied and colorful collection of musicals, including Teeth, Anytown (commissioned by George Street Playhouse), and Witnesses (2022 Craig Noel Award for Outstanding New Production). She will also give a sneak-peak of the brand-new musical she’s creating with the celebrated playwright, Anna Ziegler (Photograph 51, The Wanderers), called A House Without Windows. Expect to leave with some worms in your ears!

Master's notes: Screen recording of the livestream. Multiple formats exist.

Master's notes: Screen Recording of the livestream hosted by 54 Below. Almost perfect recording. Recording is broken up into three parts due to a couple of phone calls I received while streaming and recording. Luckily, not much was missed as I declined the calls and restarted the recording immediately. There were aslo a couple times where I checked to make sure the video was still recording and also a couple times I accidentally taped the screen and had the menu show up. I wish I could go back and get a better recording back it is what it is. This show was amaizing with some absolutely iconic performanes. It may not be perfect but it is still a great recording.

Master's notes: Celebrate Pride Month at 54 Below with Sapphic Broadway – a bold, joyful celebration of queer women in musical theatre! Featuring beloved showtunes such as “Woman Is,” “Changing My Major,” and “Take Me or Leave Me” alongside classics reimagined through a sapphic lens— from “All I Ask of You” to “Agony” and everything in between.

Master's notes: Recorded on March 23, 2023, From the website: On the occasion of Great Performances’ golden anniversary, enjoy a star-studded revue of milestone Broadway shows from 1973 to 2023, spotlighting songs by legendary composers including Stephen Schwartz, Kander & Ebb, Fats Waller, Stephen Sondheim, Duke Ellington, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and many more.

The celebratory concert, recorded on March 23, serves as a testament to how musical theater can resonate so powerfully.

Master's notes: From PBS' site: Curated and conducted by Luke Frazier, this dazzling show features arrangements performed by The American Pops Orchestra. Filmed at Dr. Phillips Center at our 10th Anniversary Event, Broadway star Megan Hilty (NBC’s Smash, Wicked, Annie Live!) is joined by Michael Maliakel (Disney’s Aladdin, The Phantom of the Opera, Monsoon Wedding), Nikki Renée Daniels (Company, Hamilton), and Tommy Sutter (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, White Christmas) to perform Golden Age classics to today’s Broadway hits.

Trading notes: includes 5 songs from Rebecca and 3 songs from Elisabeth

Master's notes: Aren’t you curious what these 4 siblings could have possibly been fed to end up with careers on Broadway?? Grab a seat at the table as Trent (Dead Outlaw, Hadestown, Aladdin), Heath (Company, Great Comet), Claire (Sweeney Todd), and Alanna (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) sort through their dreams, their experience in the theater industry, and their collective childhood trauma! All through the lens of their unhinged love of musical theater. Could be fun.

Master's notes: A miscast cabaret featuring the Off-Broadway Revival cast of Heathers: The Musical. Live streamed by Green Room 42 on Vimeo.

Trading notes: Television adaptation. Much closer to the play than the Grace Kelly/Bing Crosby movie.

Trading notes: Stunning and intense production of this Arthur Miller classic. There is a head that is shot over on the left side of the stage. It usually just blocks the actors' legs when in the frame, which is worked around well. The last 10 seconds of the show (Elizabeth's speech) are missing due to length of show and battery running out. A-

Master's notes: Actor musician productions are always a good time, like jesus christ superstar at newbury watermill. this however is not jesus christ superstar, its benjamin button. Very poorly filmed, mostly a bad angle and catches a fair bit of obstruction.

Trading notes: Frequently incorrectly listed as West End, this was actually recorded at the Palace Theatre in Manchester during the UK Tour. Pro-shot streamed by The Turbine Theatre on 4/14/20 as a fundraiser for coronavirus relief efforts.

Trading notes: Mostly full stage shots with some close-ups. Clear sound and no spotlight washout. There is a video from 1994 that often is mislabeled as this video.

Master's notes: AMAZINGLY put together and performed. Jane, as always, was to die for. Sean was such a joy to watch on stage. And Randy, WOW, her subtlety and charm were astonishing. This capture is just stunning and one of the best from City Center, with no obstructions. A+
