3 Musketiere: Tag der offenen Tür: Das Leben is (k)ein Musical – August 30, 2005
VOB (with smalls)
NOT MY NOTES: How the scenes are performed (for example, the song “Constance”); the cast performs some songs; showing off the costumes; etc.
MY NOTES: ...And then at the end, the cast goofs off and performs parodies and skits and such!

Act of God - Broadway - July 24, 2016 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls) - 4.09GB
CAST: Sean Hayes (God), James Gleason (Michael), David Josefsberg (Gabriel)
MASTER’S NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of the Broadway Revival, with Sean as God for the return engagement and current jokes. Some great adlibs when latecomers take nearly 2 minutes getting into their seats. Also when he puts the phone in the goblet and misses, then references Patti Lupone! A+
Ain't Misbehavin' - Television Production - 1982 (Pro-Shot's master)
MP4 (SD)
CAST: André De Shields, Armelia McQueen, Charlayne Woodard, Ken Page, Nell Carter
NOTES: AM is a fun and very well done jukebox musical of songs by Fats Waller; this is the for-TV proshot. The show is minimalist--no real attempt at a plot, but acting out the songs--great music, and great performances. Video quality is fantastic for a 1982 survivor. Seriously, if you're not familiar with it yet, check it out!

VOB (with smalls)
CAST: John Gallagher, Jr. (Johnny), Michael Esper (Will), Matt Caplan (Tunny), Tony Vincent (St. Jimmy), Rebecca Naomi Jones (Whatsername), Mary Faber (Heather), Christina Sajous (Extraordinary Girl)
NOTES: [Strobe light warning. PETA ad at beginning features mutilated animal.] You already know the music is going to be phenomenal. And then it's...even better? Songs like Tommy's Pinball Wizard sound better with a full chorus, yeah, don't @me. But when the ensemble here started singing and then harmonizing in American Idiot the song, I got actual chills. It's a happy surprise to see some actual weight diversity among the backup dancers (male and female!). And I am thrilled to report that the cast and their insane energy live up to the music and the video captures it all perfectly.
American Idiot - Broadway - July 28, 2010 (SunsetBlvd79's master)

NOTES: [Flashing strobe lights in this one are definitely a photosensitive seizure trigger.] See bolded name. Quality is...let's see...great for a RENT video from 1999? It's shot from close in the orchestra, which is a GREAT angle for this show, and the master follows the action well. But the audio is a little tinny, there's lots of washout, and it looks like it was shot on pretty rough zoom. But also, Bille Joe Armstrong so why do you even need notes about quality?
American Idiot – Third National Tour – May 15, 2014 (SJ Bernly’s master)

CAST: Patrick Stanke (Artus), Annemieke van Dam (Guinevere), Thomas Borchert (Merlin), Sabrina Weckerlin (Morgana), Mark Seibert (Lancelot)
NOTES: Very well-done proshot, with intro screens and all; A/V quality of the boot itself is also perfect. The cast speaks for itself, the music is fun (this is the basis for Xcalibur)...I really enjoy this musical/video and highly recommend it!
Artus Excalibur - Tecklenburg, Germany - August 13, 2016 (Pro-shot’s master)
VOB (with smalls) - traded as rar

NOTES: Really cool multicam proshot, including some views from high above the stage. Some brilliant performances here, too. But in true Tecklenburg style: I gotta know about the the faux Viking helmets except the horns are wings and maybe they're Valkyries except mourning instead of fighting? Also the chorus of nuns in covid masks five years before covid. And then when the covid masks are over their eyes sometimes. This was not a WHO recommendation.

CAST: Albert Muntanyola (The Proprietor), Miquel Fernández (The Balladeer), Gabi Doz (Lee Harvey Oswald), Benjamí Conesa (John Wilkes Booth), Eva Losanda (Billy), Natàlia Sau (Sara Jane Moore), Eva Folch (Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme), Daniel Claramunt (John Hinckley, Jr.), Rafel Brunet (Giuseppe Zangara), Isa Mateu (Emma Goldman), Eduard Doncos (Leon Czolgosz), Xavier Mateu (Charles Guiteau), Jordi Font (David Herold)

VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Nina Proll (Barbarella), Eva Maria Marold (Die schwarze Königin), Mark Seibert (Pygar), Drew Sarich (Sun/Meister der Schlüssel), Andreas Bieber (Victor), Siegmar Tonk (Duran)
NOTES: Admit it: your life can never be perfect without watching Mark Seibert, Drew Sarich, and Andreas Bieber in a musical based on a 1960s sci-fi movie whose premise can be summed up as "Sex is good but superweapons are not."

Boys Over Flowers (花より男子) - Takarazuka Revue Flower Troupe, Japan - 2019 (HD SkyStage capture)
MP4 (HD) - major wants only
CAST: 柚香 光 Yuzuka Rei (Doumyouji), 城妃 美伶 Shiroki Mirei (Makino Tsukushi), 聖乃 あすか Seino Asuka (Hanazawa Rui), 優波 慧 Yuunami Kei (Akira), 希波 らいと Kinami Raito (Nishikado Soujirou), Takashou Mizuki, Saezuki Runa, Wataru Hibiki, Mihana Rino, Kaga Ririka, Marika Yume, Haryuu Mitsuki, Kureha Maki, Mineka Towa
NOTES: An utterly delightful TZ original about the "Mean Boys" at a prestigious high school and the outcast girl who might bring it all crashing down. The music is catchy, the staging is pitch-perfect, and I really, really hope the cast was having as much fun as it looks like. Depressed from watching sad musicals? Watch this one; it's a delightful treat.
Brothers Karamazov – Takarazuka Snow Troupe – Tokyo, Japan – March 5, 2009 (Pro-shot)
VOBs (with smalls)
CAST: Mizu Natsuki (Dmitri), Shirahane Yuri (Agrafena), Mirai Yuuki (Fyodor), Ayabuki Mao (Ivan), Ayana Oto (Pavel), Saou Kurama (Alexei), Ootsuki Sayu (Katerina)
TAKARAZUKA: Takarazuka Revue is an all-female Japanese theatre company (divided into troupes) and...way of theatre, I guess. Basically an entire culture, in which performers train from a special high school onwards, and features both translated Western musicals and Japanese originals, including plenty of romance plotlines.. This is a HUGE deal in Japanese theatre, very awesome, and not very common in trading.
THIS TAKA SHOW: Takarazuka Snow Troupe performance; commercial DVD rip

Cabaret – Latvian National Theatre, Riga, Latvia - 2015

CAST: Agnese Cīrule (Sally Bowles), The Emcee (Mārtiņš Brūveris), Ainārs Ančevskis (Clifford "Cliff" Bradshaw), Marija Bērziņa (Fräulein Schneider), Egils Melbārdis (Herr Schultz), Ģirts Liuzniks (Ernst Ludwig), Maija Doveika (Fräulein Kost), Gundars Grasbergs (Max), Jānis Āmanis, Jurģis Spulenieks, Kaspars Dumburs, Raimonds Celms, Uldis Siliņš, Kristaps Ķeselis, Liene Sebre, Zane Dombrovska, Alise Polačenko, Samira Adgezalova
NOT MY NOTES: Clips ripped from Youtube in the highest quality possible (yes, they were only uploaded in 720p), featuring the songs "Willkommen", "Don't Tell Mama", "Mein Herr", "Why Should I Wake Up?", "Money". Videos shot by the theatre staff themselves and used for promotional material, but it isn't high quality filming by any means - there's quite a bit of spotlight washout.

NOTES: An unbelievably awesome dance show, choreographed by Matthew Bourne to Bizet's "Carmen" as car-men: the setting is an auto garage/diner in the 1950s Midwest. It's different than anything else I have and so, so cool.
Carrie (the original version) - London - February 16, 1988 (Preview)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Linzi Hateley (Carrie White), Barbara Cook (Margaret White), Sally Ann Triplett (Sue Snell), Paul Gyngell (Tommy Ross), Charlotte d'Amboise (Chris Hargensen), Gene Anthony Ray (Billy Nolan), Darlene Love (Lynn Gardner)
NOT MY NOTES: Filmed professionally for the RSC archives on the third night of the performance (February 16, 1988). Shot from first row mezzanine center with no obstructions with audio taken directly from the soundboard. Mostly a full stage shots without zooms. This is usually incorrectly labelled as "Opening Night (February 13, 1988)", which is incorrect, as on opening night, Barbara Cook was almost decapitated right after the set changes from "Don't Waste The Moon", which not seen in this video (also verified by the person who copied this from the archives).
MY NOTES: I repeat from above: “on opening night, Barbara Cook was almost decapitated right after the set changes from ‘Don't Waste The Moon’”
LUCKILY: (a) almost (b) not seen in this video
UNLUCKILY: This is still the original version of stage Carrie.

MASTER'S NOTES: Terrific capture, one of my favorite shows. Marin was more of a Barbara Cook portrayal, Anne was more of a Betty Buckley. Rare performance as Anne only went on a handful of times. A-

MASTER’S NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of one of the Final Dress Rehearsals. Top notch production and thrilling performances from Alice, Keaton, and the whole cast! This is quite a unique capture since it was the first time the blood was dropped. Too many amazing things to point out here, don't miss this one!!! A+
FURTHER NOTES: Some fun bloopers, even! Not embarrassing line flubs, either—stuff like the blood drop going wrong *twice*, and then in one scene, the microphone makes a fart noise and Alice says, “Sorry!” Also, that’s a real knife she’s holding…

VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Olga Lozovaya, Natalia Dievskaya, Vladimir Samsonov, Marina Ulanova
PREVIOUS TRADER’S NOTES: “Single-cam proshot, soundboard. Production seriously differs from the Moscow production and sometimes I'm starting to think that this is a different show, though I don't know the musical at all. Among every cast member above, I can recognize Dievskaya only and I haven't found her in this video.”

VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Brandy (Roxie Hart), Amra-Faye Wright (Velma Kelly), Raymond Bokhour (Amos Hart), Jason Danieley (Billy Flynn), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Matron "Mama" Morton)

Chicago - Seoul, South Korea - 2018
MP4
CAST: 최정원 Choi Jeong Won (Velma Kelly), 아이비 Ivy (Roxie), 안재욱An Jae Wook (Billy Flynn), 김영주 Kim Young Joo (Mama Morton)
NOT MY NOTES: Company shot. One scene contains zoom (a little scene at the beginning of the musical) the rest of the show doesn’t contain close-ups. Amazing quality.

MASTER'S NOTES: There's a 10-15 second break in act 2 due to a battery change. Trades as very limited, 3:1
NOTES: Excellent video of a neat non-replica production! There's occasionally a thin vertical bar in wider shots, but it doesn't obscure anything and the close-ups are (predictably; it's Rumpel) amazing!

MASTER’S NOTES: First video of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella taken during the first week of previews. Recorded from the side with no obstructions and the revolving stage and seats are shown clearly. There is one mishap in act 1 where the sheet doesn't come off the statue. No swings were on to the best of my knowledge. Do not share screencaps, gifs, or any part of the video.

VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Laura L Thomas (Emma), Tom Detrinis (Weston), Spencer Strong Smith (Josh), Emma Hunton (Tai), Corbin Reid (Dionne), Christopher Chatman (Murray)
NOTES: I'm not going to lie, this feels like it's trying to be Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical, and doesn't quite make it. It's still a fun and funny jukebox musical with some great songs (of course "I'm Going to Be a Supermodel", but also Love Shack, Barbie Girl, Criminal). The video itself is excellent quality.

NOTES: Yes, "high school teacher" - this is Count of Monte Cristo, but uses "students reading the book for school" as a way to wrangle the original story's plot a bit. 2013 production streamed in 2015.

Earth Girls Are Easy - Semi-Staged, Semi-Reading - Lark Theatre, NYC - September 30, 2002
VOB (with some smalls)
CAST: Kristin Chenoweth, Julie Brown, Hunter Foster
NOTES: A one night only benefit reading (with some choreographed dance numbers) to raise money for the Lark Theatre lab. The cast and audience seem like they're having a great time, and the video is pretty nice, just a bit of generation loss (static at the bottom; doesn't really affect the picture). It's a fun video all-around. Whenever I think of the movie Earth Girls Are Easy, the FIRST thing that comes to my mind is, "You know what this should be? A MUSICAL." I'm so glad someone agreed!

NOTES: Not *that* Elisabeth (see my separate page for that show.) This pro-shot is about another Elisabeth of Hungary, the 13th century saint and duchess of Thuringia. She was by all measures a wonderful person whose life was utterly ruined (and effectively ended) by one of the Middle Ages' absolute villains, Konrad von Marburg. The musical depicts this. This production took place in Marburg. Ergo.

CAST: David Sajewich (Ash), Demi Zaino (Cheryl), Andrew Di Rosa (Jake), Callie Johnson (Annie/Shelly), Creg Sclavi (Scott), Julie Baird (Linda), Ryan McBride (Ed/Moose)
NOTES: Camp musical based on the truly amazing Evil Dead trilogy. The performers and the show are ALL IN. And the creators did what we all wanted them to do and worked in the end of Army of Darkness. Shop smart. Shop S-mart!
Evil Dead – South Korea – June 25, 2017

Evita - Second National Tour - September 1982
MP4 (SD)
CAST: Valerie Perri (Eva), John Herrera (Che), Robert Dalton (Perón), Peter Marinos (Magaldi), Cynthia Simpson (Mistress)
NOT MY NOTES: “Professionally Shot footage of tech run of tour's opening at The Shubert in Chicago. Starts with "Eva, Beware Of The City" and goes through end of "Waltz For Eva And Che". Does not contain all numbers, but does have most. This is a single camera video recording with occasional zooms that is a little over an hour of Hal Prince directing the second national tour of Evita during a final dress rehearsal. It is fascinating to hear Prince give direction while watching the show and a great piece of theatre history.”
Excalibur – Takarazuka Cosmos Troupe (Japan) – April 28, 1998
MP4 – 1080p – VLT, 3:1
CAST: Shizuki Asato (James), Hanafusa Mari (Rosaline), Wao Youka (Christopher), Kozuki Wataru (Andrew), Izumo Aya (Nanette), Hoshihara Misao (Henry), Natsukawa Yura (Morgan), Oomine Mayu (Merlin), Ootaka Tsubasa (Count Bloom)
NOTES: NHK broadcast of the lush 1998 production. NOT Artus Excalibur or Xcalibur, but...vaguely...Arthurian. I do not think people in the Middle Ages dressed like that. I do not particularly care. Trades as VLT, 3:1 ratio.
Fack ju Göhte: Das Musical - Munich, Germany - July 14, 2018
VOB (with smalls)

Rebekka Corcodel (Chantal), Silvio Römer (Burak), Susi Studentkowski
(Zeynep), Robin Cadet (Jerome), Sandra Leitner (Laura), Jennifer Siemann
(Charlie)
YMMV, but I think the title's deliberate misspelling of "Goethe" and "f*ck" really elevates it above the English/cultural translation of "suck it, Shakespeare."

CAST: Nurlaila Karim (Carmen), Gino Emnes (Tyrone), Eva Poppink (Serena), Albert Klein Kranenburg (Nick), Jim de Groot (Joe)

ENCORA NOTES, WHICH I LOVE: Also listed as 2009 Japanese video with Masachika Ichimura as Tevye, but it’s definitely not so.

NOTES: Pro-shot of an English-language production good enough to air on French TV. Would a Les Misérables fan trade for this video just because the production was staged in Toulon? The world will never know.

Godspell – Plays in the Park, New Brunswick, NJ – 1993 (House-cam’s master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Unknown
NOTES: Mostly a house-cam of a fun regional production. The visuals have some serious generation loss, but the sound is likely from the soundboard and is excellent. Say what you want about the show; “By My Side” gives me chills every time.

NOTES: Nice video (well, of course) with great sound, and a production whose jokes are...well...the Bible's parable of the rich man and Lazarus, where the rich man is in hell begging Lazarus to warn his living relatives of their fate, lists them as living in a series of hotels and apartment buildings...owned by Donald Trump.
Godspell - Brasil (Brazilian CEFTEM Production) - September 4, 2015 (Papa Rose 2015’s master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Bruno Fraga (Jesus), Oscar Fabião João Batista/Judas), Gabi Porto, Laura Zennet, Bernardo Dugin, João Telles,Giovana Rangel, Vinícius Teixeira, Lyv Ziese, Carol Botelho
NOT MY NOTES: Excellent video of this marvelous production. Some heads at the bottom of the screen when it isn't zoomed in, but they only block the actors' feet.

NOTES: Dialogue in German, songs in English. Fantastic quality video, shot from the orchestra. Master REALLY knows the show, and follows the choreography excellently. Honestly, even if you don't speak German, if you're familiar with the movie this video is an excellent intro to the stage show.

Hadestown - Broadway - March, 2019 EDITED VERSION (StarCuffedJeans's master, edited by slimejuice)
MP4 (HD) - includes Eng and Fr subtitles
CAST: Reeve Carney (Orpheus), Eva Noblezada (Eurydice), Patrick Page (Hades), Amber Gray (Persephone), André De Shields (Hermes), Jewelle Blackman (Fate), Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer (Fate), Kay Trinidad (Fate), Afra Hines, Ahmad Simmons, John Krause, Kimberly Marable, Timothy Hughes
EDITOR'S NOTES: "This video is an edit I made with StarCuffedJeans's video of the March 2019 Broadway performance, and I filled the blanks with other shows: The intro "Road to Hell" is from lots-of-lists's master of January 2019 at the National Theater, in London.
The intro of Act 2, "Lady of the Underground" is from chauvelin's master, also in London, but it transitions to StarCuffedJeans's audio at the start of the song, so the musicians Persephone is introducing in the song aren't the same artists as she names. (may sound like a detail but worth mentionning! Also the ensemble in those other videos aren't the same performers in the main one!) But the video is clear, and that helps a lot to know what's going on on stage! I would have loved to fill other blackouts mid-show but the London and Broadway outfits are very different for Orpheus and Eurydice, so it doesn't really blends seamlessly, and I decided to keep the same SCJ's master all the way. The ending song, "We Raise Our Cups" after the bows comes from another video but I don't know who is the master of this one. Also, the nice title and intermission screens were taken from everyturnandtwist's master!"
NOTES: So basically, this is the perfect Hadestown video, AND it includes subtitle files. By master and editor's wishes, you can trade this, but do NOT post it publicly (Tumblr, YouTube, etc).

MASTER'S NOTES: Stunning HD capture of the triple Tony winner with no obstructions. Sparkling, dazzling and moving production that merits all the noise it is making. This was the performance where a lady brought her dog to the show, and Hedwig had fun with that! Also includes Bonus footage from a different performance: Origin of Love, Wig in a Box, Wicked Little Town, Long Grift, Wicked Little Town (Reprise), Midnight Radio.

CAST: Andrew Rannells (Hedwig), Lena Hall (Yitzhak), Justin Craig (Skszp), Peter Yanowitz (Schlatko), Tim Mislock (Krzyzhtoff), Matt Duncan (Jacek)
MASTER'S NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of Andrew stepping in to the role. He gives a great performance and makes it his own, with his own jokes and characterizations. Great comparison to Neil and follow up. Lena has only gotten stronger in the role and holds out an amazing riff! A+
Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Broadway - July 3, 2015 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Darren Criss (Hedwig), Rebecca Naomi Jones (Yitzhak), Justin Craig (Skszp), Peter Yanowitz (Schlatko), Tim Mislock (Krzyzhtoff), Matt Duncan (Jacek)
MASTER'S NOTES: Darren Criss and Rebecca Naomi Jones. Excellent HD capture of Darren toward the end of his run. Some great new jokes and variations on the songs. He has really settled, evolved and grown wonderfully in the role! A
Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Broadway - July 22, 2015 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Taye Diggs (Hedwig), Rebecca Naomi Jones (Yitzhak)
MASTER'S NOTES: Excellent HD capture of Taye's first performance as Hedwig. He added a lot of material and even an improv song about hair extentions. He messed up some lines and the show ran almost 20 minutes longer then normal.
MY ADDITIONS: You can actually see Taye sink more and more into the role over the course of the show; incredible to watch. And amazing to see a performer of color as Hedwig, and on Broadway.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch - 1NT - November 25, 2016 (SJ Bernly’s master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Lena Hall (alt Hedwig), Shannon Conley (alt Yitzhak)
MASTER’S NOTES: Lena is absolutely stunning. She has a completely different take on the role than any other Hedwig, and she holds the audience completely captive. Fans of the show simply must see her performance. Perfectly captured with no washout, no obstruction, and no blackouts. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call. A+

VOB (with smalls)

NOT MY NOTES: Jukebox musical featuring the music of Tupac Shakur. The disc also includes a TV commercial, and 2 short behind the scene clips. Mostly just a full stage shot-no zooms-probably filmed with an iPhone or something similar.
Hunchback / Der Glöckner von Notre Dame - Berlin - August 14, 1999
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Drew Sarich (Quasimodo), Ruby Rosales (u/s Esmeralda), Norbert Lamla (Frollo), André Bauer (u/s Phoebus), Chris Murray (Clopin)
NOTES: The OG stage version! A/V quality is...I would describe it as "funky." Worth watching, though, for the staging and costumes! Also: three of the four male leads have starred in professional/major productions of Les Mis (Broadway, West End, Vienna, Duisburg), and two of them as BOTH JVJ and Javert...yeah, it's a stunning cast.
Hunchback / Der Glöckner von Notre Dame - Berlin - August 7, 2001

NOTES: Hardcoded English subtitles. File was probably a YT or other rip at some point, so caveat spectator. Very low-res, but otherwise surprisingly good video and excellent sound!

CAST: Aaron Paul (Quasimodo), Ann Christin Elverum (Esmeralda), Norbert Lamla (Frollo), Brad Spencer (Phoebus), Chris Murray (Clopin)
NOTES: Act 1 only. Multicam pro-shot, with some great close-ups and good choices for when to stay wider. A touch of generation loss on the video; great sound!

VOB (with smalls)

Jesus Christ Superstar - Quito, Ecuador - 1985 (Pro-shot's master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Pablo Abraira, Tony Cruz (u/s), Estibaliz
NOTES: International tour springing from a Madrid production. I'm counting it towards countries anyway, because *Ecuador*.
Jesus Christ Superstar - Leningrad, USSR - 1990-1991 (Highlights)

CAST: Vladimir Dyadenistov (Jesus), Rafik Kashapov (Judas), Alla Kozhevnikova (Mary), Nikolay Karpilenko (Pilate), Boris Flaks (Kaiafas), Arkadiy Sultan-Bekov (Annas), Vladimir Snopkovskiy (Peter)
PREVIOUS TRADER’S NOTES: “After the dissolution of Soviet Union, the historical name "St. Petersburg" was returned to this city. This is the St. Petersburg Rock Opera Theatre version. Multi-cam proshot, soundboard. The first official Russian-speaking production of JSC and, I think, the only video from USSR. Production itself has this strange spirit and fashion of late Soviet Union/early Russia. Most likely VOB version didn't survive, I got this file from theatre's technical staff member. Heavy generation loss but good quality overall.”
Jesus Christ Superstar - Budapest, Hungary - 2000
VOB (with smalls) - 1.57 GB
CAST:Gabor Bot, Maté Kamarás, Ildiko Seres, Janos Balog
EARLIER TRADER’S NOTES: “Traders’ Hungarian-language production called “Jézus Krisztus Szupersztár”. Original file really is small (1.57 GB). The trader I got this from listed it as 2001, but the folder itself says 2000. Pretty rare!”
Jesus Christ Superstar - Tecklenburg, Germany - July 20, 2001 (Rehearsal/Preview)
TS - original/only file
CAST: Sascha Krebs (Jesus Christ), Alex Melcher (Judas Iscariot), Carolin Fortenbacher (Mary Magdalene), Ethan Freeman (Pontius Pilate)
NOTES: Nice audience cam of the final dress rehearsal/first preview. Talented cast and great show, like always, plus the standard Tecklenburg bonus: this is the one where the production designers were trying to approximate the costumes for the 2000 London/Bway revival and...Superstar...hm. And you love every second of it.
Jesus Christ Superstar – Essen, Germany – February 28, 2010
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Henrik Wager (Jesus ), Serkan Kaya (Judas), Peti van der Velde (Mary Magdalene), Maria Röhr (Pilate), Heribert Feckler (Caiaphas), Michael Bergmann (Annas), Martin Berger (King Herod), Romeo Salazar (Simon Zealotes)
NOTES: In English! Came to me labeled August 11, 2001, but 2010 seems to be the correct one. Spectacular quality audience-cam. Lots of full-stage shots and excellent close-ups. A really good production, too, although a few Choices Were Made. (Surely *someone*, somewhere along the way, pointed out the problem with portraying the Jewish religious leadership as rich bankers?) Peti's voice is amazing, and Serkan kills it as Judas.
Jesus Christ Superstar - Tecklenburg, Germany - 2002 (Pro-shot’s master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Sascha Krebs, Kristian Vetter, Leah Delos Santos, Claus Dam, Martin Berger
NOTES: Single-cam proshot. Some generation loss on the visuals, but the sound is excellent. And is that Jesus riding…**an actual donkey**?! Yes, yes it is.

PREVIOUS TRADER'S NOTES: “After watching this, I went on Youtube and binge-watched every video of Drew singing 'Gethsemane' I could find. This might be the best version (and a video of this same performance from a different angle on Youtube).

June Moon - Broadway - 1974 (Pro-shot's master)
M4V (SD) (but really, really nice for 1974)
CAST: CAST: Tom Fitzsimmons (Fred), Barbara Dana (Edna), Jack Cassidy (Paul), Beatrice Colen (Goldie), Susan Sarandon (Eileen), Stephen Sondheim (Maxie Schwartz)
NOT MY NOTES: "In this rousing satire by George S. Kaufman and Ring Lardner, a native upstate New York clerk comes to 1920s Manhattan with dreams of making in big on Tin Pan Alley. Multicam proshot, aired in PBS, released commercially in the 2000's. Rare Sondheim acting role.
WHOA: Sondheim acted?!
La Bohème - La Bohème IN SPACE - Opéra de Paris - 2017 (Pro-shot's master)

CAST (probable): Sonya Yoncheva (Mimi), Aida Garifullina (Musetta), Atalla Ayan (Rodolfo), Artur Ruciński (Marcello), Alessio Arduini (Shaunard), Roberto Tagliavini (Colline)
FILE NOTES: Contains a separate video of interviews about the special production, as well as subtitle tracks for Italian, French, German, and English.
NOTES: Finally, it DOES get to more than remind us of Musetta’s Waltz…it is Musetta’s Waltz…IN SPACE. This is astronaut La Bohème, literally set on the literal moon (well, Act 1 is on a spaceship), and the production plays the setting completely straight. This is everything my “Phantom of the Opera IN SPACE” joke could want—and more.

NOTES: Really nice video! I enjoyed the musical itself a lot more than I was expecting too, honestly. (Got it for Lauren Zakrin; I love the movie, but haven't been that impressed with clips of the musical...it turns out the whole thing is cute and fun!)

NOTES: Very severe angle for filming, but the video itself (especially the sound) is great. It's filmed from pretty high up, and the master did a great job capturing the show's action in the aisles, too! Traded as MKV+VOB+smalls.

Love Arena (concert/revue) - Takarazuka Flower Troupe (Japan) - 2019
MKV (HD) - 21.5gb total - major wants only, negotiable ratio
CAST: Asumi Rio, Flower Troupe
NOTES: A concert/revue performance starring Mirio (Asumi Rio) in honor of her birthday (really more of a revue performance than a concert). This is TOO MUCH FUN, it's almost criminal. Ripped from the Blu-Ray.

Mack and Mabel - Los Angeles, CA - 1974
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Robert Preston (Mack Sennett), Bernadette Peters (Mabel Normand)
NOTES: I'm not going to lie, the quality is like generation loss took steroids meant for horses. BUT the video is a whole collection: 30 minutes of clips from the songs, a couple of book scenes, a stretch of rehearsal footage; some of it is filmed from the house, but some of it from the wings; and there's even--for some reason--footage of a cast pool party at Jerry Herman's house.
Mamma Mia! - Stuttgart Revival - August, 2013

MASTER'S NOTES: Filmed during Willemijn's short stint as Donna, and she's simply phenomenal in the role. Acts it brilliantly, sings it even better and is just adorable and awesome all around. The rest of the cast are also great, The video is filmed from central stalls and features a completely unobstructed view of the stage.
MY NOTES: I have recently been working hard to add more non-Wicked boots with Willemijn to my collection, and I continue to be rewarded.

MASTER’S NOTES: Anna Thorén was sick and couldn’t sing, so they brought Roberta Valentini (Marie Antoinette in Bremen 2009) to sing her parts from off-stage while Anna acted.
MY NOTES: This is a fantastic capture from the front row. The taper even has an angle to catch Roberta's side, behind the screen, as she's singing. Video quality is also superb, and the show/cast are terrific.

MASTER’S NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of the Original Broadway Cast. Starts after "Welcome to the Moulin Rouge!". Filmed in 16:9 with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups.
Moulin Rouge - Broadway - January 2020 (StarCuffedJeans' master)
MP4 (HD)
CAST: Aaron Tveit (Christian), Amber Ardolino (u/s Satine), Danny Burstein (Harold Zidler), Sahr Ngaujah (Toulouse-Lautrec), Ricky Rojas (Santiago), Dylan Paul (u/s The Duke), Robyn Hurder (Nini), Jacqueline B Arnold (La Chocolat), Holly James (Arabia), Jeigh Madjus (Baby Doll), Reed Luplau (Pierre)
NOTES: So let's get this out of the way first: the movie is completely bonkers and should be so bad but is so, so good. No stage production is going to compare to it, especially seeing it fresh. Plus, Ewan McGregor. But if you can't have him, at least Aaron can get most of the way there, and Amber is better than Nicole Kidman in any case. SCJ is a champ, so you already know this video is awesome quality.

MP4 - I've never seen VOBs, but I would love to trade from them if you have them!
CAST: Ron Todorowski, Holly Cruikshank, David Gomez
NOT MY NOTES: "Closing night! Really steady camera work that almost looks like it could be a house cam. There are a lot of wide shots to get full views of the dance numbers but mid and close ups do also exist."

NOTES: To paraphrase another trader on the differences between the Zuka and French MORs: The cast here is amazing, and the show is a lot more like a real musical than Salieri's BDSM nightmare.

NOTES: NHK broadcast of the 2019 Cosmos production. Still based on Ocean’s 11. There’s the rare but livestream-standard quality blip when there’s a whole bunch of pixels having to change at once, but it doesn’t hurt the viewing experience at all.

MAY'S NOTES THAT I LOVE AND AM COPYING: "if I was only able to watch one theatre video/bootleg for the rest of my life, it'd probably be this one. Daimon is absolutely amazing, she gives such a beautifully heartbreaking, vulnerable performance as Erik and the forest scene in act 2 never fails to make me tear up. she & Kiichan are absolutely sensational together and their chemistry is unparalleled (best combi!). you can really feel the entire troupe's love and passion for this production in this DVD. I genuinely can't recommend this video enough."

Das Phantom der Oper (Sasson & Sauter version of POTO) – Lübeck, Germany - January 2020
VOB (with smalls) – VLT by master’s request, 3:1 trade
CAST: Uwe Kröger (Eric/Phantom), Deborah Sasson (Christiné), Jochen Sautter (Raoul)
MASTER’S NOTES: A capture of the non-ALW tour version. Following very much its own plot, but still borrowing scenes from Webber’s version. Constructed as a star vehicle for Sasson, who is the oldest of the trio. Uwe Kröger has lost his voice, a pity to watch him. Well filmed though. Quality: A-) VERY LIMITED TRADE!
MY NOTES: This is musical theatre—writing a musical and casting yourself in the lead role is a thing that is done. I’m not going to criticize a woman for simply doing what men even get Tony nominations for. (This time I am looking at YOU, Hamilton). But rewriting one of the most popular musicals of all time, in order to cast yourself in one of the most iconic female roles of all time…when you are canonically four decades older than the character?
tl;dr: It’s Phantom of the Opera where Madame Morrible sings Act 1 Nessa and the music is perky.

Phantom of the Opera: Phantom Follies - Australia – 1992
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Rob Guest (Phantom), Maree Johnson (Christine Daaé), Dale Burridge (Raoul)
NOT MY NOTES: Phantom Follies! "Australian cast puts on skits and spoofs for charity, runs for over two hours. Some of the skits/parodies: 'Beauty School Dropout,' 'The Three Raoul Amigos,' 'A Charade,' 'I'm Too Sexy,' a rock version of 'Il Muto,' and a rap/dance version of 'Think of Me'."

NOT MY NOTES: Last performance for the Austrian cast. Very good quality for its age - decent color and detail and with numerous closeups and wideshots. Features a few funny ad-libs by the supporting cast; curtain calls included. A great cast and performance all around.

VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Australian POTO company
NOT MY NOTES: The Sydney Company of Phantom Of The Opera, in their annual Easter Charity Benefit show. Each of Cameron McIntosh's Australian shows participates at midnight after their regular performances. These shows feature the cast members parodying songs and other shows, with a slight tilt towards their own productions. Pro shot for video, these tapes were made for cast and crew only. Very rare! Very enjoyable show!

NOT MY NOTES: Multi-cam proshot, soundboard. Picture is pixelated but details are quite sharp (difficult to explain).

The only known released video of Ken Hill's Phantom, moreover this production was fully based on the original 1984 version except one replaced song. From TV broadcast (December 31 2014). Performed in English with Japanese subtitles.

Rebecca: Tag der offenen T ür – Vienna, Austria - September 15, 2006 (Pro-shot's master?)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Uwe Kröger, Wietske van Tongeren, Susan Rigvava-Dumas, Kerstin Ibald, André Bauer, Alexander Goebbe
NOTES: Professionally edited video of Rebecca's TdOT, including some of the street concert in front of the theatre (and Uwe for some reason sings part of Sweet Transvestite?), lots of footage of the set close-up, some orchestra/booth shots, and a couple of performed numbers. Definitely doesn't seem like a straight-up audience cam, maybe more like someone recording media footage to excerpt for TV. Quality is absolutely perfect; this is pro equipment.
Rebecca – Vienna, Austria - September 21, 2008
VOB (with smalls) – 2 disc, 6.43gb
CAST: Wietske van Tongeren ("Ich"), Tim Reichwein (u/s Maxim de Winter), Susan Rigvava-Dumas (Mrs. Danvers), Ramin Dustdar (Jack Favell), Carin Filipčić (Mrs. Van Hopper), Kerstin Ibald (Beatrice), André Bauer (Frank Crawley), Norberto Bertassi (Ben)

VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Milica Jovanovic (Ich), Jan Ammann (Maxim de Winter), Pia Douwes (Mrs. Danvers), Roberta Valentini (Beatrice), Anne Welte (Mrs. van Hopper), Robert Meyer (Jack Favell), Fröhlich (Ben)
NOTES: 72 minutes of highlights. Quite a bit of head obstruction, unfortunately, but Milica is a great Ich, and it's Tecklenburg, so you know you're in for a fun ride. I think this time, the shadow-people escaped from Elisabeth to be the Rebecca ensemble?
Red River – Takarazuka Cosmos Troupe – 2018 (Pro-shot’s master)
MP4 (HD)
CAST: Makaze Suzuho, Hoshikaze Madoka, Serika Toa, Seijou Kaito, Kotobuki Tsukasa, Mikaze Maira, Junya Chitose, Kanon Mai, Sumiki Sayato, Ayase Akina, Rinjou Kira, Matsukaze Akira, Aizuki Hikaru, Hoshibuke Ayato, Aishiro Moa, Sorahane Riku, Yuino Kanari, Fuuma Kakeru, Mitsuki Haruka
NOTES: Also known as "The Sky Is on the Banks of the Red River." It’s the Takarazuka original version of the Hittite Empire from the 14th century BCE with swords, sandals, and glitter. There’s also a plot and a love story, but Zuka going Hittite is what was missing from my life.

NOTES: Doepke's musical take on Robin Hood as more of the "medieval noble" angle. Proshot possibly intended for commercial release--it has a voiceover introduction, even!
Robin Hood: Das Kindermusical - Tecklenburg, Germany - 2007 (Pro-shot's master)
NOTES: Killebrecht & Beuleke's take on the Robin Hood legend aimed at children, and I'm pretty sure children designed and built the sets, too.
Rock of Ages - Broadway - December 1, 2014 (SJBernly’s master)

CAST: Dominik Schulz (u/s Rocky Balboa), Joana Fee Würz (s/w Adrian), Terence Archie (Apollo Creed), Juliane Dreyer (Gloria), Jogi Kaiser (Mickey), Patrick Imhof (Paulie), Franziska Lessing (Angie), Silke Braas (Joanne)
NOTES: It's the eye of the tiger / it's the thrill of the fight / it's not as good as Jensen Ackles' / lip-sync on Supernatural. But it's still better than I expected.
Rocky Horror Show - Broadway Revival - April 20, 2001

NOTES: Ana Gasteyer's electric violin completely slaps, and Luke Perry (as Brad) during the Floor Show is *magical.* A good capture of a tough show to do well, too!

CAST: Martin Semmelrogge (The Narrator), Rob Fowler (Dr. Frank-N-Furter), Stuart Matthew Price (Riff Raff), Chris Ellis-Stanton (Brad Majors), Ceri-Lyn Cissone (Janet Weiss), Kerry Winter (Columbia)
NOTES: Fun stage production, mostly in English. The audience cam is fantastic with amazing close-ups, but seems a bit jerky at times like you're watching on streaming and it has to buffer. I don't know who played Magenta here, but I love her voice!

High-def MP4 encode of the massive original version--I prefer these, but you do you!

NOTES: Wait, you mean there’s a Takarazuka version of Les Liasions Dangereuses, the source material of my beloved Cruel Intentions? Can the stars align for me that much? Uh, I mean! Mari and Yuki (Takane Fubuki)’s acting and chemistry steal this one. Making the emotions even starker, this was Yuki’s last show before she retired!
Roméo & Juliette (Presgurvic) - Vienna - 2006 (Pro-shot's master)
VOB (with smalls) (packaged as ISO)
CAST: Marjan Shaki (Juliet), Lukas Perman (Romeo), Mark Seibert (Tybalt), Rasmus Borkowski (Mercutio), Mathias Edenborn (Benvolio)
NOTES: Perfect-quality proshot of the show, plus a separate making-of documentary. The VOBs are inside ISOs; they extract and play perfectly. The show is great, especially the dancing. The costumes are...well...Romeo wears a sweater that looks like a crocheted throw blanket with bell sleeves, and then you have half-naked Mark Seibert with dreadlocks and a codpiece.

NOTES: Commercial DVD release of the Star Troupe’s 2010 RetJ! (Or “Romijuri” which is the cutest thing ever.) You know, I read one author say that Zuka performs a lot of happy, pretty romances. Because “happy romance” is exactly what comes to mind when I think of Elisabeth, Phantom, and Romeo et Juliette. Yep.

NOTES: One of several Takarazuka productions of one of several Takarazuka versions of the Rose of Versailles manga. (Unsurprisingly, I am looking to trade for the other versions!) Non-English musical theatre's obsession with the French Revolution is fantastic. I am here for this.

NOTES: SkyStage capture of the Flower Troupe’s Zuka original—two song/dance revues, the first linked by a loose story whose music is fun and whose plot is Maito in a biker jacket flirting with you

MASTER’S NOTES: Excellent HD capture of the final Broadway cast. Adam Pascal joined the cast as Shakespeare for the final 7 weeks on Broadway. Everything is captured nicely and the cast was still giving their all! Some minor washouts and the audio sounds like it is from the big theatre it was performed in.
MY NOTES: This video made me fall in love with the show...oops.

CAST: Kevin Köhler, Katie Stewart, Carl Abraham Ellis, Ernest Marchain, Andreas Wolfman, Joe Ryan

CAST: Maya Hakvoort (Norma Desmond), Julian Looman (Joe Gillis), Reinhard Brussmann (Max von Mayerling), Wietske van Tongeren (t/r Betty Schaeffer), Thomas Hohler (Artie Green), Erwin Bruhn (Cecil B. DeMille)
NOTES: Proshot of the Tecklenburg production--outdoor theatre, production values consisting of hiring an amazing cast and...very little else, and somehow it always works and is awesome.

NOTES: It's from 1979 so the gen loss is real...but so is the casting with Angela Lansbury and Victor Garber!

CAST: 엄기준 Um Ki Joon, 유준상 Yoo Jun Sang, 민영기 Min Young Ki, 김법래 Kim Beop Rae, 장은아 Jang Eun Ah, 린지 Linji
Thrill Me – Datteln, Germany – October 2012
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Bernd Julius Arends (Nathan Leopold), Dominik Schulz (Richard Loeb)
NOTES: [Major content warning for sex, violence] Great shoot--very close, house right, camera follows the action very well, fantastic close-ups! (Not the more common, stationary-camera video)
Thrill Me – Seoul, Korea – August 26, 2014
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: 송원근 Song Won Keun, 신성민 Shin Sung Min
NOTES: Very, very, VERY heavy content warning for sex and violence on this one. The video itself is gorgeous--sharp, deep colors, house-cam style.
tick, tick...BOOM! - Jonathan Larson's Demo
VOB (with some mysterious files)
CAST: Jonathan Larson
NOTES: Jonathan and a piano perform 30/90, Johnny Can't Decide, Sunday, and Why. Video quality ironically puts RENT videos for at least a decade to shame. You bring to this video the reasons you want to watch it and the things you're looking for in it, and it's worth it.
tick, tick... BOOM! - Off-Broadway - May 31, 2001
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Raúl Esparza (Jon), Jerry Dixon (Michael), Amy Spanger (Susan)
NOTES: Sound quality is very nice, especially the singers--super clear, although there's some graininess in the background. Video quality is okay. The whole thing is filmed midrange, unmoving camera and it works well; the problem is that the whole thing is shot at a weird, distorting tilt (not like the usual "my camera wasn't upright"). Not ideal. Still, this is great if you want to see the show's staging!
tick, tick... BOOM! - Off-Broadway - September 18, 2001
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Raúl Esparza (Jon), Jerry Dixon (Michael), Amy Spanger (Susan)
NOTES: Quality is not really better or worse than May 31, just mediocre in different ways.
tick, tick… BOOM! – Korea – 2002 [in English]
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Joey McIntyre (Jon), Jerry Dixon (Michael), Natascia Diaz (Susan)
tick, tick... BOOM! - US Tour - 2003
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Christian Campbell, Wilson Cruz, Nicole Snelson
NOTES: Very well shot, lots of great close ups. Visuals skip a little bit from time to time, but the audio plays perfectly and is fantastic quality. An amazing TTB video.
tick, tick... BOOM! - US Tour (Dallas, TX) - January 11, 2003
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Trey Ellett (alt John), Nicole Snelson (Susan), Wilson Cruz (Michael)
NOTES: Nice video, fantastic camera work, cast, and show! More gen loss than the TTB video with Christian Campbell, though.
tick, tick... BOOM! - Prague, Czechia - 2018 (Pro-shot’s master)
MP4 - 3.2GB (original file)
CAST: Peter Pecha, Tomáš Vaněk, Lucia Jagerčíková
NOTES: Proshot of the Czech production! Our first TTB proshot, too!
Todos Vuelven: Un musical para el Perú – Lima, Peru - 2019 (Pro-shot’s master)
MKV (HD)
CAST: Emilia Drago, Erika Villalobos, Andrés Salas, Laly Guimarey, Sandra Muente, Mónica Dueñas, Miguel Alvarez, Jairo Tafur, Diego Seyfarth
NOTES: [Photosensitive seizure warning] Probably from the July 2020 streaming of the proshot---certainly the quality is crystalline gorgeous. The show itself is also beautiful. It's very dance-heavy, and the lighting design is its own artwork, really wonderful. The show itself is a vignette of stories of Peruvian history, probably somewhat mythologized (hi, Hamilton!). This is a very cool boot, and I want to stress again, a glorious video visually.
The Who’s Tommy – Amstetten, Austria – June 24, 1995 (Pro-shot’s master)
VOB (no smalls)
CAST: Steven Seale, Sabine Mayer, Brian Carmack, Drew Sarich, James Sbano, Sigalt Feig, Cedric Bradley, Dave Moskin, Jacqueline Braun, Caroline Frank, Julia Lawrence, Vicky van Zijl, Rob Fowler, Tanja Schön, Jan Stefan Kralik, Florian Feik
NOT MY NOTES: Nice version of the show and good quality despite the age. A-
The Who's Tommy - West End - 1996
TS (remastered) - 3.44GB
CAST: Kim Wilde, Nicola Hughes, Nigel Harman, Jon Partridge, Hal Fowler, Ian Bartholemew, Paul Keating, James Gillan, Danielle Harmer, Laura Allen
NOT MY NOTES: Age has not been so kind to this recording, as the colours distort in ways which are improper, unaesthetic, and impossible to correct. Shoot-wiseÖ itís OK. There arenít a lot of real close-ups, and itís mostly a washed out wide shot (though the rear projects generally look better than anywhere else). The real irritant is that the taper hit pause at times between numbers or during certain bits, totalling around 5-8 minutes. The sound has been drastically improved and the overall colour levels rebalanced alongside the usual noise reduction, stabilisation, and adjustments, but the distortion remains. That said, this remains the most complete video of Tommy from London and itís interesting to see the differences in line delivery.
Toxic Avenger: The Musical - Off West-End - 2017 (released 2018) (Pro-shot's master)
MP4 - original file
CAST: Ben Irish (Melvin/Toxie), Elma Salvo (Sarah), Natalie Hope (Mayor/Melvin's Mom), Che Francis, Oscar Conlon-Morrey
NOTES: [Content warning: Sex, all sorts of sexism and ableism played for laughs] Streamed by BroadwayHD; substantially different from the earlier Off-Broadway production. Still the same "and zero cares were given" attitude as you'd expect from a 5-person musical based on a 1980s B-movie about an environmentalist superho in love in New Jersey.
Les Trois Mousquetaires - Paris, France - 2016 (Pro-Shot’s master)
VOB (with smalls) - 7.08gb
CAST: Olivier Dion (D’Artagnan), Damien Sargue (Aramis), Brahim Zaibat (Athos), David Ban (Porthos), Emji (Milady de Winter), Golan Yosef (Duc de Buckingham), Victoria Sio (La Reine)
NOTES: So, this is to 3 Musketiere what Mozart L’Opéra Rock is to Mozart Das Musical…except on steroids, set in a flame-covered gymastics studio, and featuring the absolute weirdest pre-show “no photos” warning I have ever witnessed, in which a mime is being attacked by pretend bees? I think? This proshot is an EXPERIENCE.
Twelfth Night - Globe Theatre (UK) - September 22-October 14, 2012 (Pro-Shot’s master)
MP4 - 3.00GB
CAST: Johnny Flynn (Viola), Mark Rylance (Olivia), Stephen Fry (Malvolio), Roger Lloyd Pack (Sir Andrew Aguecheek)

VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Aris Sas (Bobby), Sara Fonseca (Hope), Thorsten Tinney (Officer Lockstock), Katharine Mehrling (Little Sally), Gabriele Ramm (Ms. Pennywise), Ilja Richter (Caldwell B. Cladwell)
NOTES: I did not know this existed. I never dreamed it existed. The video is fantastic quality with a great cast and I won't spoil how they translate "Urinetown."
Urinetown – South Korea – May 31, 2015
MTS (HD) – 13.74gb
CAST: 정욱진 Jeong Wook Jin, 아이비 Ivy, 최정원 Choi Jeong Won, 성기윤 Seong Ki Yoon, 이경미 Lee Kyung Mi, 김대종 Kim Dae Jong
NOTES: Amazing quality HD + camera work. The cast is having way too much fun.
We Are the Tigers - Off-Broadway - September 2019 (StarCuffedJeans’ master)
MP4 (HD) - 6.60gb
CAST: Lauren Zakrin (Riley Williams), Wonu Ogunfowora (Cairo), Jenny Rose Baker (Kate Dalton), MiMi Scardulla (Reese), Kaitlyn Frank (Annleigh), Cathy Ang (Mattie Wheeler), Celeste Rose (Chess), Zoe Jensen (Farrah), Sydney Parra (Eva Sanchez), Louis Griffin (Clark)
MASTER’S NOTES: Starts at the beginning of "I Just Wanna" and missing part of "Mattie's Lament." The theater was really full tonight so there are a good number of heads in this video, but they are worked around to the best of my ability. This is a super small theater (less than 160 seats) and at times the cast members were definitely singing to the camera and honestly giving their best performances because of it. All of the things on the upper level (the bathroom, the pathway, and the kitchen) are captured perfectly, and the zooms on the lower level (the living room and bench) look good as well. Obviously because this is a murder mystery kind of show the lighting can get a little bit dark, but my camera handles low lighting incredibly well. This is honestly the best video you could expect from this venue.
We Will Rock You - West End - February 11, 2003 (Pro-Shot's master)
VOB (with smalls)
Cast: Tony Vincent (Galileo), Hannah Jane Fox (Scaramouche), Sharon D Clarke (Killer Queen), Alexander Hanson (Khashoggi), Kerry Ellis (Meat/Oz), Nigel Clauzner (Brit/J.B.), Nigel Planer (Pop/Buddy/Bap)
VIDEO NOTES: Nice pro-shot with full-stage and great zooms. Some generation loss on the visuals; sound is excellent. Time lapse running across the bottom. Flashing strobe lights (it is, after all, a glorified rock concert), so definite photosensitive seizure warning.
SHOW NOTES: Other bands: "We will make a jukebox video musical out of our songs, and give it sort of a plot based on a couple of random names we mentioned in one song, but hey, there will be costumes and you'll hear cool covers of your favorite songs." Queen: "Hold my beer."
We Will Rock You - Estrada Theatre, Moscow, Russia - 2004
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Mher Mesropyan (Galileo), Elena Maximova (Scaramouche), Elena Charkviani (Killer Queen), Andrey Gusev (Khashoggi), Olga Belaya (Meat/Oz), Andrey Klyuyev (Pop/Buddy/Bap)
NOTES: *Very* nice quality video, though not many close-ups. The show is mostly in Russian--dialogue and songs!--but a few really iconic songs are still in English. I guess there's no good way to translate "We will rock you."
We Will Rock You - Teatro Calderon, Madrid, Spain - May 19, 2004 (Pro-shot’s master)
VOB (no smalls)
CAST: Maria Blanco (Scaramouche), Sheilah Cuffy (Killer Queen), Momo Cortes (Galileo), Javier Navares (Khashoggi), Eva Maria Cortes (Meat), Angel Padilla (Brit), Jose Maria Guzman (Pop), Nicola Poustie (Teacher), Matthew Craig (Rebel Leader)

NOTES: Fun video with intro speech; multicam; nice quality. Is it worth it even though Willemijn is in the ensemble instead of a main role? If you've seen the show, you know how very much it is. (Plus Alex Melcher is always great.)
We Will Rock You - Cologne (Germany) - October 13, 2005 (Bandnight)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Alex Melcher, Kevin Perry, Martin Berger, Sandy Moffat, Willemijn Verkaik, Serkan Kaya, Michaela Kovarikova
NOTES: Not the show itself, but a small, more intimiate-venue concert. Starting off with Robbie Williams' "Let Me Entertain You" is a nice touch. Great quality video and sound.

We Will Rock You - Louisville, KY (Acting Against Cancer) - May 21, 2021 (Pro-shot's master)
MP4 (HD) - streaming capture
CAST: William Nickles (Galileo), Lauren McCombs (Scaramouche) Tamika Tyan (Killer Queen), Jason Cooper (Khashoggi), Myranda Thomas (Oz) Landon Sholar (Brit), Adam Byrd (Buddy), Shelby Brown, Corie Caudill, Olivia Duff, Scott Goodman, Hannah Lechleiter, Charlie Meredith, Julie Riehm McGuffey, Aaron Roitman, Remy Sisk, Hannah Thomas
NOTES: If there was ever a musical meant to be produced and viewed online, it is WWRY. It's a fantastic blend of Zoom/chamber video, special effects, actual stage work, and on-location outdoor filming. *Incredibly* well done--definitely my favorite of the 2020-2021 original streaming shows.
West Side Story – Novosibirsk, Russia – 2007 (Pro-shot’s master)

CAST: Anna Kormakova (Maria), Yaroslav Shvaryov (Tony), Tatyana Bezhina (Anita), Mikhail Bondarenko (Bernardo), Anton Bloshko (Riff), Vladilen Kortashov (Doc)

Белая Ворона (The White Crow) - Kyiv, Ukraine - 2005 (Pro-shot’s master)
VOB (no smalls) - 3.94 GB
CAST: Zhanna - Yulia Vdovenko; Julien: Igor Rubashkin; Minstrel: Anatoly Khostikoev; Son - Vyatcheslav Khostikoev; The Hundred Years War - Natalia Sumskaya; Cochon, Cardinal, Jester - Bogdan Benyuk; King - Taras Postnikov; Archbishop, Duke - Vasily Mazur
NOT MY NOTES: The dramatic poem "White Crow" was written by the poet Yuri RYBCHINSKY in 1989. Its theme is the feat of the French girl Joan of Arc, who led her people in the struggle against the English conquest during the Hundred Years War. The premiere of the rock opera took place in the same year at the Ivan Franko Academic Drama Theater. For 11 years, the rock opera "Belaya Vorona" was a success in the theater, it was seen by hundreds of thousands of spectators not only in Kiev, but also in Poland, Austria, Germany and other countries. In 2005, the rock opera was restored on the stage of the Russian Drama Theater. Lesia Ukrainka with a predominantly new cast, where it is going to this day.
Wigfield - Off-Broadway - July 17, 2003
TS (remastered)
CAST: Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello
MASTER’S NOTES: Missing the first couple minutes. Some gen loss and noise in the image and the details aren’t what would be ideal. The camera was quite loud and some of the whine from the motors remains despite filtering. Still, look at that cast.
Xanadu - Broadway - November 10, 2007
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Kerry Butler (Clio/Kira), Cheyenne Jackson (Sonny Malone), Mary Testa (Melpomene,Medusa), Jackie Hoffman (Calliope, Aphrodite), Tony Roberts (Danny Maguire, Zeus), Andre Ward (Terpischore, Siren, etc), Ryan Watkinson (u/s Thalia, Siren, etc), Anika Larsen, Kenita Miller (Euterpe, Siren, etc)

VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Randy James (Jonny Warner), Stacey Turner (Toffee), Leslie McMillan-Perez (Delilah Strict)
NOT MY NOTES: Original Off-Broadway cast in previews. Great video! There is a tracking problem that lasts the first 3 minutes. RARE!
