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. Minimalist--no real attempt at a plot, but acting out the songs--great music, and great performances. Seriously, if you're not familiar with it yet, check it out!

​

​

American Idiot - Berkeley - October 4, 2009 (SunsetBlvd79's master)

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: [PETA ad at beginning features mutilated animal. Occasional but not constant strobe lights (think a couple of flashes).] 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 - February 19, 2011

VOB (with smalls) ֎

CAST: John Gallagher, Jr. (Johnny), Michael Esper (Will), Van Hughes (s/b Tunny), Billie Joe Armstrong (St. Jimmy), Rebecca Naomi Jones (Whatsername), Jeanna de Waal (Heather), Libby Winters (u/s Extraordinary Girl), Chase Peacock, Gerard Canonico, Jennifer Bowles

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, see bolded name.

CAST: Patrick Stanke (Artus), Annemieke van Dam (Guinevere), Thomas Borchert (Merlin), Sabrina Weckerlin (Morgana), Mark Seibert (Lancelot) ↈ

​

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!

The Brothers Karamazov – Takarazuka Snow Troupe – Tokyo, Japan – March 5, 2009 (official DVD)

VOBs (with smalls) ↈ

Mizu Natsuki (Dmitri), Shirahane Yuri (Agrafena), Mirai Yuuki (Fyodor), Ayabuki Mao (Ivan), Ayana Oto (Pavel), Saou Kurama (Alexei), Ootsuki Sayu (Katerina)

Notes: Takarazuka Snow Troupe. Ripped from the commercial DVD.

​

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.

​

​

​Earth Girls Are Easy - Reading/Demo - Lark Theatre, NYC - September 30, 2002

VOB (with some smalls) ֎
CAST: Kristin Chenoweth, Julie Brown, Hunter Foster

NOTES: A one night only benefit reading to raise money for the Lark Theatre lab. Because 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." 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!

​

​

AVI (SD) - 2GB avi file - I would love to trade for VOB+smalls, if you have them! ↈ

​

NOTES: Pro-shot of Pia Douwes' last show in Essen. Includes curtain call and encore! Definitely one of the best Elisabeth videos out there for an introduction to the show. Pia is wonderful and Uwe is the classic quietly possessive, creepily erotic, androgynous Death.

​

​

Elisabeth – Takarazuka Flower Troupe – Tokyo, Japan – 2002 (Closing night) (official DVD)

VOB (with smalls) – Wants only (says previous trader; please keep) ↈ

Haruno Sumire (Der Tod), Ootori Rei (Elisabeth)

​

TAKARAZUKA: Takarazuka Revue is an all-female Japanese theatre company (divided into troupes) and...way of theatre, I guess.

VOB (with smalls)

CAST: Shirahane Yuri (Elisabeth), Mizu Natsuki (Der Tod), Otozuki Kei (Lucheni), Ayabuki Mao (Franz Joseph)

​

NOTES: Takarazuka. Snow Troupe. Proshot. Mizu Natsuki pushes the aggression---this role was made for her.

​

Elisabeth: Das Musical (Rondo of Love and Death) – Takarazuka Revue, Tokyo Theatre, Japan (shinjin koen performance!) – September 29, 2016

​

NOT MY NOTES: Takarazuka Sky Stage TVRip, HD picture. Shinjin koen performance of the Tokyo performances, the 2nd shinjin koen performance besides the one in Takarazuka.

​

​

Elisabeth: Legende einer Heiligen – Marburg, Germany – 2008 (Proshot’s master)

CAST: Sabrina Weckerlin (Elisabeth of Hungary), Mara Dorn (Lady Sofia), Melanie Gebhard (Guda), Armin Kahl (Ludwig), Kristian Korsholm Vetter (Wolfram von Eschenbach), Norbert Conrads (Konrad von Marburg), Jesse Garon (Walter von der Vogelweide)

​

NOTES: This is about the other Elisabeth of Hungary, the 13th century saint. 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.

​

NOTES: Besides the inherent hilarity of a show about the American Revolution playing in London? Rachelle and Rachel are excellent!

​

​

Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Broadway - May 4, 2014 (SunsetBlvd79's master)

VOB (with smalls) ֎

CAST: Neil Patrick Harris (Hedwig), Lena Hall (Yitzhak), Justin Craig (Skszp), Matt Duncan (Jacek), Tim Mislock (Krzyzhtoff), Peter Yanowitz (Schlatko)

​

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.

​

​

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. 

​

​

VOB (with smalls) ֎

CAST: Eden Espinosa (Helen), Bruce Vilanch (Zeus), Alice Ripley (Athena), Cary Sheilds (Paris), Brandi Chavonne Massey, Will Swenson

Hunchback / Der Glöckner von Notre Dame - Berlin - August 14, 1999

 VOB (with smalls) (SD)  ↈ

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.

​

​

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!

​

NOTES: Another amazing performance from this cast, and pitch-perfect camera work: straight on, from the center mezzanine, no heads, great zooms. Probably my favorite HND video.

​

NOTES: Follows the US staging. Far stage right is partially obstructed in full-stage shots, but it doesn't block any of the actual action. BEAUTIFUL video and audio.

​

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.

NOTES: An avi (1.62GB single file)--possible YT rip. Master was working around a few heads visible in the full-stage shots, but did a GREAT job avoiding them while even being artistic with medium/close-up choices!

Lion King (“Die perfekte Illusion”) - Theater am Hafen, Hamburg, Germany – TV documentary – 2018/2019? (Proshot’s master)

MP4 (not HD, but high quality) ↈ

​

​

Mamma Mia! - Stuttgart Revival - August, 2013

VOB (with smalls) ↈ

CAST: Willemijn Verkaik (t/r Donna Sheridan), Eva Serrarens (Sophie Sheridan), Jerry Marwig (Sam Carmichael), Matthias Otte (u/s Harry Bright), Marek Sarnowski (Bill Austin), James Cook (Sky), Betty Vermuelen (Tanya), Barbara Raunegger (Rosie), Pierre Damen (Pepper), Denys Magda (Eddie), Annakathrin Naderer (Ali), Rebecca Stahlhut (Lisa)

​

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.

​

​

Marie Antoinette – Tecklenburg - July 6, 2012

VOB (no smalls) ↈ

CAST: Anna Thorén (Marie Antoinette), Marion Furtner (Margrid Arnaud), Patrick Stanke (Axel v. Fersen), Yngve Gasoy-Romdal (Don Cagliostro), Marc Clear (Herzog von Orleons), Wietske van Tongeren (Agnes), Frank Winkels (Louis XVI), Corinna Ellwanger (Rose Bertin), Roberta Valentini

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.

​

Moulin Rouge – Boston/Pre-Broadway – August 2018 (House-cam’s master)

VOB (with smalls) ֎

CAST: Aaron Tveit (Christian), Karen Olivo (Satine), Danny Burstein (Harold Zidler), Sahr Ngaujah (Toulouse-Lautrec), Tam Mutu (The Duke), Ricky Rojas (Santiago), Robyn Hurder (Nini), Jacqueline B Arnold (Le Chocolat), Holly James (Arabia), Jeigh Madjus (Babydoll)

NOTES: Yes, this is the house-cam video from the pre-Broadway version that captures the whole show clearly with perfect sound. I’ve talked to multiple longtime traders who say this is not actually NFT; it just got labeled that way on Encora. If you know otherwise for sure, please let me know!

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.

Pflanz der Vampire: Ein kabarettistisches "Grusical" - Tschauner Bühne, Vienna - 1998 (TV broadcast)

MP4 (SD) ↈ

CAST: Unknown

​

NOTES: Uwe Dröger ("more boring") and his friends audition for Tanz der Vampire, and the "plot" unfolds with song parodies, meta and other jokes, and it's one of the true treasures in my collection.

​

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.

Roméo & Juliette (Presgurvic) - Vienna - 2006
FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (packaged as ISO) ↈ
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-dressed Mark Seibert with dreadlocks and a codpiece.

Thrill Me – Seoul, Korea – August 26, 2014

VOB (with smalls) – Wants only (says previous trader; please keep) ↈ

CAST: 송원근 Song Won Keun, 신성민 Shin Sung Min

​

CAST: This was described to me as the story of murder husbands, and I think "husband" is a little too domestic and romantic for this. (Especially since it's based on a true story.) HEAVY content warning for sex and violence; not to everyone's (including my) taste. But if it's to yours...

​

​

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) (SD) ֎

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) (SD)  ֎

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.

Todos Vuelven: Un musical para el Perú – Lima, Peru - 2019 (Proshot’s master)

MKV (HD) ↈ

CAST: Emilia Drago, Erika Villalobos, Andrés Salas, Laly Guimarey, Sandra Muente, Mónica Dueñas, Miguel Alvarez, Jairo Tafur, Diego Seyfarth

​

NOTES: [Photosensitive seizure warning] Proably a rip from the July 2020 streaming---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.

Urinetown - Broadway - August 29, 2001 (Preview)

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."

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 - Cologne (Germany) - August, 2005 (Pro-Shot's master) video

VOB (with smalls) ↈ

CAST: Alex Melcher (Galileo), Vera Bolten (Scaramouche), Brigitte Oelke (Killer Queen), Martin Berger (Khashoggi), Michaela Kovarikova (Meat/Oz), DMJ (Brit/J.B.), James Sbano (Pop/Buddy/Bap), Harald Tauber (Teacher), Willemijn Verkaik

​

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) ↈ

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.
