Into the Woods
Seattle Civic Light Opera
1992 (Evening)
Jim Vale (Baker)
Trading notes: Semi-pro shot, using one camera on a tripod. not always looking at the right part of the stage shot but generally fine; very good production and performances, but the princes look exactly the same which is odd.

Trading notes: Not the closing performance as previously listed. This was the matinee performance, and the production had an evening show as their closing. A couple of minor obstructions but only in the wider shots. Almost no blackouts and nicely captured.

Trading notes: Great HD capture of the much hyped Shakespeare in the Park Production. Beautifully thought out and executed production with a few flubs and bloopers that are hilarious. Donna and Amy were just sensational! A-. Complete file should have both title screens and chapter menus for each disc (8.06 GB).

Bernadette Peters (Witch), Chip Zien (Baker), Joanna Gleason (Baker's Wife), Kim Crosby (Cinderella), Danielle Ferland (Little Red Riding Hood), Ben Wright (Jack), Robert Westenberg (Wolf), Mo Rocca (Moderator), Stephen Sondheim (Ensemble), James Lapine (Ensemble)
Master's notes: A great capture of this historic reunion in Costa Mesa. The cast and creative team sits down to talk about their experiences and what they’re doing now, as well as perform songs from the show. The reminiscing includes discussions of the Wolf’s pendulous anatomy, cut scenes/songs, backstage secrets, and a potential sequel. This is perfectly captured from start to finish with no blackouts, no obstruction, and no washout. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. 2 discs.

This is a 53.7gbs mp4!
Encores!
May 2022 (1)
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), Jason Forbach (u/s 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: 4K and 1080p, from right mezzanine. Steady filming. Occasional obstruction when people in front of me leaned over. Occasional focusing issues. Short (10-second) blackout when house lights come up during the Finale. Curtain call filmed between heads. Sara Bareilles flubbed lyrics to Moments in the Woods and needed to regroup in an amusing way.

Trading notes: 4K and 1080p, from rear left balcony. A little shaky here and there due to maxed out zoom. Some moderate obstruction from heads, but worked around as well as possible. Occasional focusing issues. A few brief blackouts due to latecomers and when house lights come up during the Finale. A couple of minor line flubs, but they covered well.

Trading notes: 4K and 1080p, from mid left balcony. A little shaky here and there due to maxed out zoom. Some minor obstruction from heads, but worked around as well as possible. Short (30-second) blackout during Finale when house lights come up.
May 2022 (4)

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.

Trading notes: Some obstruction from heads with dropouts during A Very Nice Prince, and much of the last 3 minutes are audio only. Focused on close group shots and zooms as the production involves minimal staging, so the actors are the main focus. All-star cast with standout performances from Heather Headley, Sara and NPH, Denée Benton, and Cole Thompson!
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)
Master's 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.
Trading notes: Master released as month, year. Please do not add the full date even if you know it.
September 2022

Trading notes: Incredible performances and stunning capture. Gorgeous closeups, crystal clear audio, and no washout. This might be the best capture of this revival!
October 2, 2022 (Evening)
Patina Miller (Witch), Sebastian Arcelus (Baker), Stephanie J. Block (Baker's Wife), Krysta Rodriguez (Cinderella), Delphi Borich (u/s Little Red Riding Hood), Cole Thompson (Jack), Gavin Creel (Wolf / Cinderella's Prince), Joshua Henry (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: The opening number is audio only for a few minutes on and off, and during Act One, the left side of the stage has some obstruction on the bottom. Act Two is much better and it's overall a decent capture of the great new cast members and Delphi!
November 2022
Montego Glover (Witch), Brian d'Arcy James (Baker), Stephanie J. Block (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), Kennedy Kanagawa (Milky White)
Trading notes: Obstructed capture of the replacement cast of Into The Woods! Large heads on the left and right block a lot of the action so I wouldn't recommend for a first time watch but solos and important moments are captured well.
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.
January 8, 2023 (Matinee)
Joaquina Kalukango (Witch), Sebastian Arcelus (Baker), Stephanie J. Block (Baker's Wife), Diane Phelan (Cinderella), Katy Geraghty (Little Red Riding Hood), Cole Thompson (Jack), Gavin Creel (Wolf / Cinderella's Prince), Joshua Henry (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. Final performance of Broadway engagement. Very steady filming. Only minimal obstruction at the bottom-most of wider shots for Act 1, occasional head obstruction on bottom-right corner for Act 2 thanks to a guy moving after intermission. Highly energetic and enthusiastic audience for closing performance, lots of entrance applause and partial standing ovations after some songs, but very respectful and attentive during scenes and songs. Includes curtain call.
Players Circle Theater
August 7, 2026 (Evening)
Grace Duncan (Witch), Gavin Ott (Baker), Paige Howard (Baker's Wife), Emma Kane (Cinderella), Layla Butterworth (Little Red Riding Hood), Julie Bowser (Jack), Chase Lawton (Wolf), Braden Odum (Cinderella's Prince), Lane Free (Rapunzel's Prince), Lucas Distel (Narrator), Ellie Biehl (Narrator), Arco Williams (Mysterious Man), Tanner Robinson (Jack's Mother), Ollie Anderson (Cinderella's Stepmother), Teagan Stansell (Florinda), Emma Ramirez (Lucinda), Emmalee Lotti (Cinderella's Father), Mardin Liberal (Steward), Sophia Guth (Rapunzel), Elizabeth Alexander (Sleeping Beauty), Sierra "Sisi" Ortiz (Snow White), Kelly Jo Madoian (Granny), Teagan Clark (Cinderella's Mother), Giada DiGesare (Giant's Voice)
Master's notes: Decent phone boot of this regional production. Footage is choppy because I used the wrong shutter speed so sorry in advance. Heavy washout in some scenes, especially when using the pink lighting. Tried my best to capture the show but a little difficult from my seat. Due to the three-quarters stage, some shots either have actors backs or actors extremely close (you can even see Little Red gesture at me to cut it out during the act 1 finale). Includes curtain call
Trading notes: This recording contains flashing lights
