Trading notes: In act one, Meg is played by Georgia Ware, but she was taken ill during the show so was replaced by Lily before Masquerade. This is a fantastic shot of the previous London cast and one of the best videos to come out of Her Majesties in a long time. Video has 4 confirmed rips circulating, check with traders.

Master's notes: Excellent capture of the new cast of this production! Shot in a great mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. Some wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout, slightly increased in act 2. Audio is patched in from an external source. Overall a fantastic capture.

Trading notes: Commonly referred to as Live Stream Version 2 to differentiate from the other live streamed video of this production.
It is commonly distributed in two files, Act I is 10GB while Act II is 11.3 GB. AC3 5.1 audio.
This version starts with the camera moving around and showing some of the audience, including someone in a red death costume (pictured below).
Another note is that Piangi hits the note the note in Hannibal ”Your army ha - ha - has come home! (and the camera is zoomed in on him at this point)
Broadway
June 16, 2016 (Matinee)

Trading notes: A great capture of the Broadway production. There is one short blackout over the end of Think of Me and another over the beginning of Masquerade; the rest of the show is fully captured with just a couple quick dropouts in each act. There is one head that can occasionally be seen, but never blocks the action. 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.

June 16, 2022 (Matinee)
Jeremy Stolle (u/s The Phantom of the Opera), Emilie Kouatchou (Christine Daaé), Jordan Donica (t/r Raoul de Chagny), Janinah Burnett (u/s Carlotta Giudicelli), Stephen Tewksbury (t/r Monsieur Firmin), Greg Mills (u/s Monsieur André), Maree Johnson (Madame Giry), Carlton Moe (Ubaldo Piangi), Sara Esty (Meg Giry), David Michael Garry (Joseph Buquet / Don Attilio), Joseph DePietro (Monsieur Reyer / Hairdresser), Carrington Vilmont (Auctioneer), Chris Georgetti (Porter / Fireman), Paul Adam Schaefer (Marksman), Richard Poole (Monsieur Lefèvre / Firechief), Jim Weitzer (Passarino), Justin Peck (Solo Dancer), Kfir Danieli (Solo Dancer), Kanisha Marie Feliciano (Page), Satomi Hofmann (Confidante / Hairdresser), Elizabeth Welch (Princess), Kelly Jeanne Grant (Madame Firmin), Lindsay Roberts (Innkeeper's Wife), Ted Keegan (Jeweller), Patricia Phillips (Spanish Lady)
Trading notes: Questionable 4K capture this show. Obstruction throughout the video in the form of heads and the overhang, though less so in Act Two. Action is often blocked, including whenever actors stood on the left and right sides of the stage. Act Two is incomplete, missing about 8 minutes in the beginning in a blackout. Quite a few blackouts. Often wanders and unfocuses, with washout on wider shots. Closer to highlights than a full video. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source. Never sell.
