Heather Headley (Witch), Neil Patrick Harris (Baker), Sara Bareilles (Baker's Wife), Denée Benton (Cinderella), Julia Lester (Little Red Riding Hood), Cole Thompson (Jack), Gavin Creel (Wolf / Cinderella's Prince), Jordan Donica (Rapunzel's Prince), David Patrick Kelly (Narrator / Mysterious Man), Ann Harada (Jack's Mother), Lauren Mitchell (Cinderella's Stepmother), Brooke Ishibashi (Florinda), Ta'Nika Gibson (Lucinda), Albert Guerzon (Cinderella's Father), David Turner (Steward), Shereen Pimentel (Rapunzel), Annie Golden (Granny / Cinderella's Mother / Giant's Voice), Kennedy Kanagawa (Milky White)
Trading notes: Closing performance. This is arguably the best of the four. 4K and 1080p, from right mezzanine. Very steady filming. Almost no obstructions—minimal heads in house-right side on widest shots. About 1-minute dropout during Finale when house lights come up. Includes curtain call. Funny mishap when Denée's slipper flew into the audience, causing her to break while Sara went to retrieve it. NPH and Gavin Creel were a little extra goofy, too.

May 15, 2022 (Matinee)
Heather Headley (Witch), Neil Patrick Harris (Baker), Sara Bareilles (Baker's Wife), Denée Benton (Cinderella), Julia Lester (Little Red Riding Hood), Cole Thompson (Jack), Gavin Creel (Wolf / Cinderella's Prince), Jordan Donica (Rapunzel's Prince), David Patrick Kelly (Narrator / Mysterious Man), Ann Harada (Jack's Mother), Lauren Mitchell (Cinderella's Stepmother), Brooke Ishibashi (Florinda), Ta'Nika Gibson (Lucinda), Albert Guerzon (Cinderella's Father), David Turner (Steward), Shereen Pimentel (Rapunzel), Annie Golden (Granny / Cinderella's Mother / Giant's Voice), Kennedy Kanagawa (Milky White)
Trading notes: Questionable 4K capture of this production's closing night. There is some head obstruction throughout the video that is mostly worked around, but still blocks off some action. Frequent wandering/readjustment and unfocusing. Washout frequent in wide shots. Audio is quite muffled. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source. Never sell.
Second Broadway Revival
June 28, 2022 (Evening)
Patina Miller (Witch), Brian d'Arcy James (Baker), Sara Bareilles (Baker's Wife), Phillipa Soo (Cinderella), Julia Lester (Little Red Riding Hood), Cole Thompson (Jack), Gavin Creel (Wolf / Cinderella's Prince), Joshua Henry (Rapunzel's Prince), David Patrick Kelly (Narrator / Mysterious Man), Aymee Garcia (Jack's Mother), Nancy Opel (Cinderella's Stepmother), Brooke Ishibashi (Florinda), Ta'Nika Gibson (Lucinda), Albert Guerzon (Cinderella's Father), David Turner (Steward), Alysia Velez (Rapunzel), Annie Golden (Granny / Cinderella's Mother / Giant's Voice), Kennedy Kanagawa (Milky White)
Master's notes: Filmed in 4K, released in 1080p and 4K. The very first preview of the Broadway transfer from Encores! earlier in the year. LOTS of cheers and screaming and laughter from fans excited about this production moving to Broadway. A fair amount of obstruction from heads that is worked around as best as possible.
August 2022
Patina Miller (Witch), Brian d'Arcy James (Baker), Sara Bareilles (Baker's Wife), Phillipa Soo (Cinderella), Julia Lester (Little Red Riding Hood), Cole Thompson (Jack), Gavin Creel (Wolf / Cinderella's Prince), Joshua Henry (Rapunzel's Prince), David Patrick Kelly (Narrator / Mysterious Man), Aymee Garcia (Jack's Mother), Nancy Opel (Cinderella's Stepmother), Brooke Ishibashi (Florinda), Ta'Nika Gibson (Lucinda), Albert Guerzon (Cinderella's Father), David Turner (Steward), Alysia Velez (Rapunzel), Annie Golden (Granny / Cinderella's Mother / Giant's Voice), Kennedy Kanagawa (Milky White)
Trading notes: Filmed in 4K, released in 1080p and 4K. First 10 minutes of Act 2 are audio-only due to camera issue that got resolved by Agony (Reprise). Minor obstruction of the lower part of the stage by heads. Otherwise very well shot with both zooms and wide-shots. Never to be sold except by master, never to be posted in part or in whole anywhere online.
September 2022
Montego Glover (Witch), Sebastian Arcelus (Baker), Stephanie J. Block (Baker's Wife), Krysta Rodriguez (Cinderella), Katy Geraghty (Little Red Riding Hood), Cole Thompson (Jack), Andy Karl (t/r Wolf / t/r Cinderella's Prince), Joshua Henry (Rapunzel's Prince), David Patrick Kelly (Narrator / Mysterious Man), Aymee Garcia (Jack's Mother), Nancy Opel (Cinderella's Stepmother), Brooke Ishibashi (Florinda), Ta'Nika Gibson (Lucinda), Albert Guerzon (Cinderella's Father), Jim Stanek (Steward), Alysia Velez (Rapunzel), Annie Golden (Granny / Cinderella's Mother / Giant's Voice), Kennedy Kanagawa (Milky White)
Trading notes: Incredible performances and stunning capture. Gorgeous closeups, crystal clear audio, and no washout. This might be the best capture of this revival!
November 2022
Patina Miller (Witch), Brian d'Arcy James (Baker), Mary Kate Moore (u/s Baker's Wife), Krysta Rodriguez (Cinderella), Katy Geraghty (Little Red Riding Hood), Cole Thompson (Jack), Gavin Creel (Wolf / Cinderella's Prince), Andy Karl (t/r Rapunzel's Prince), David Patrick Kelly (Narrator / Mysterious Man), Ann Harada (Jack's Mother), Nancy Opel (Cinderella's Stepmother), Brooke Ishibashi (Florinda), Ta'Nika Gibson (Lucinda), Albert Guerzon (Cinderella's Father), Jim Stanek (Steward), Alysia Velez (Rapunzel), Annie Golden (Granny / Cinderella's Mother / Giant's Voice), Kennedy Kanagawa (Milky White)
Trading notes: Filmed in 4K, released in 1080p and 4K. A bit of obstruction from a head for action on right side of screen, a few brief instances where the camera went in and out of focus, but otherwise a great video of Mary Kate Moore as the Baker's Wife and the current combination of everchanging cast members. Includes Gavin Creel's farewell speech as it was Krysta Rodriguez's final performance and his emotional BC/EFA speech (as it was the day after the Club Q shooting).

Trading notes: Great 4K capture of Joaquina as the Witch! There is minor head obstruction, particularly on the left side which blocks a little action, but is almost entirely worked around. Some moments of wandering and unfocusing. Includes curtain call, audio fed from external source.
