This is the only publicly released video recording of this acclaimed, sold out production with the original West End revival cast. This recording suffered from spotlight washout. The washout has mostly been fixed in editing as it's impossible to fully correct. The recording has more zooms to prevent further washout. Fortunately, this production is minimalistic and performance focused so it doesn't hinder the overall experience of the show. The recording is mainly filmed in close ups and mediums. A head is sometimes visible in the wide shots of the musical numbers. Recording includes the curtain call and marquee.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof NTL
On a steamy night in Mississippi, a Southern family gather at their cotton plantation to celebrate Big Daddy’s birthday. The scorching heat is almost as oppressive as the lies they tell. Brick and Maggie dance round the secrets and sexual tensions that threaten to destroy their marriage. With the future of the family at stake, which version of the truth is real – and which will win out?
Sienna Miller stars as Maggie alongside Jack O’Connell as Brick and Colm Meaney as Big Daddy. A return to the stage for director Benedict Andrews following his smash hit production of A Streetcar Named Desire. Tennessee Williams’ searing, poetic story of a family’s fight for survival is a twentieth century masterpiece. National Theatre Live

Chaplin
8/22/12 ~ Broadway
Rob McClure, Erin Mackey, Jenn Colella, Christiane Noll, Jim Borstelmann, Michael McCormick, Zachary Unger, Wayne Alan Wilcox. Chaplin is based on the real-life story of Charlie Chaplin, the iconic film actor, writer, producer and director. The new musical spans the comics entire career, from Chaplins first performance as a child in 19th-century London to his tearful acceptance of an honorary Academy Award in 1972. The show documents the beloved actors rise to fame and the people who shaped his life, including his mother Hannah, his older brother Sydney, his fourth wife Oona ONeill and gossip columnist Hedda Hopper. The musical dramatizes the making of Chaplins legendary films, including The Kid, The Circus, Modern Times and The Great Dictator as well as his turbulent childhood, frenzied love life and political beliefs. Featuring an original score by Christopher Curtis, including Look at All the People, Just Another Day in Hollywood and This Man, Chaplin tells the touching story of the man who makes the world laugh as his legendary screen persona, the Tramp, but struggles to find happiness in his own life. Nicely filmed from the balcony with a good mix of close-ups and fuller stage shots. No obstructions.

Ashlee Simpson, Samatha Barks, Stephen Moyer, Drew Carey, Lucy Lawless, D. Tablak.
A fantastic capture of the Hollywood Bowls yearly spectacle. The cast is solid without a weak link in the bunch. Even those without Broadway experience hold their own with the others. Samantha and Ashlee in particular have a nice chemistry together, with strong voices and great dancing. The stage and sets are much larger than the Broadway version, but the blocking and choreography fill them nicely. The show is completely intact from start to finish, filmed on a tri-pod so its very steady throughout. The first few minutes are a bit shaky and theres obstruction that blocks the actors feet, but both issues are fixed after All That Jazz. Very little washout except in a few high-contrast wide shots. Its filmed in 16:9, with wides and mediums; there are no close-ups due to the distance from the stage. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call.

Everything is nicely captured, a few minor and quick parts to the extreme far right can be blocked a few times. Brandy did an excellent job in the role and was really giving a solid performance

Good 4K capture of Emma Pittman’s very limited run as Roxie. There were several moments of blackouts, wandering, etc as ushers were active, primarily in scene transitions. There is also some minor obstruction in the form of a head at the bottom of the stage, and occasionally the master’s covering. Spotlight washout is fairly frequent but rarely obscures a character’s face. Includes curtain call and most of the entr’acte,.

Rembert (Martin Harrison), Denny Paschall (Aaron), Drew Nellessen (The Judge, Court Clerk).
Great 4K capture of Angelica Ross’s limited run as Roxie! There are small obstructions when characters are sitting or laying down, and more wandering than usual due to usher vigilance. Starting near the end of “Me and My Baby” to the beginning of “Mister Cellophane,” there is a blackout due to somebody moving in front of the master and obstructing the view. Includes most of curtain call,

From the opening notes of the overture when trumpets heralded the iconic vamp of Kander and Ebb’s "All That Jazz," to Rivera’s final encore, the affectionate "Circle of Friends" from her album And Now I Swing, the evening showcased an unstoppable talent that has been delighting audiences for decades.

A Christmas Carol ( Gilbert and Sullivan) Jose Quintero Theatre
2001
A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong BBC 2017
Following their disastrous production of "Peter Pan", the Cornley Polytechnic amateur dramatic society have been banned from participating in this year's "A Christmas Carol" with Sir Derek Jacobi. However, the enthusiastic amateurs, undeterred, nobble Sir Derek and the other cast members to stage their own version. There is dissent in the company when Chris (Henry Shields) and Robert (Henry Lewis) both want to play Scrooge, while nervous Dennis (Jonathan Sayer), as Bob Cratchit, has to read all of his lines off prop and Annie (Nancy Zamit) gets glued to her chair. When Lucy's (Ellie Morris') Tiny Tim is knocked out by falling scenery, the hulking Robert rather improbably must replace her. With faulty greenscreen special effects, and a seemingly romantic betrayal exposed, the company's version seems doomed until Sandra's (Charlie Russell's) Aunt Diana (Dame Diana Rigg) comes to the rescue.
A Christmas Carol 2020
The timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge comes to thrilling new life as Tony Award winner Jefferson Mays (I Am My Own Wife, Gentlemen’s Guide…) plays over 50 roles in a virtuosic, master class of a performance that must be seen to be believed. This theatrical achievement comes from the haunting vision of one of Broadway’s most imaginative directors, Michael Arden .
Staged exclusively for this production and captured live with breathtaking clarity, this must-watch streaming event conjures the powerful spirits of Christmas and brings all the magic of live theatre home for the holidays.

Colin Quinn, Long Story Short 4/9/11 HBO-TV
Colin Quinns one-man Broadway show, directed by Jerry Seinfeld, and filmed before a live audience for HBO at the Helen Hayes Theatre in New York. In Long Story Short, Colin Quinn focuses his articulate brand of comedy on the demise of empires, including our own. More than standup comedy, Long Story Short is a hilarious blend of incisive observation, sharp commentary, and Colins channeling of the personalities of the past. From Socrates to Snooki, Quinn is at his satirical best, taking on the attitudes, appetites and bad habits that toppled the world?s most powerful nations. Long Story Short proves that throughout human history, the joke has always been on us.

The Crucible ~ 03.30.16 ~ Broadway Revival
Arthur Miller’s The Crucible returns to Broadway in a new production directed by the acclaimed Belgian director Ivo van Hove .
Set during the Salem witch trials of the 1690s, The Crucible is a timeless parable of morality, a scorching indictment of intolerance, and a central work in the canon of American drama.
This tale of the Salem witch trials, in which a group of girls accuse upstanding women in the town of witchcraft to divert suspicion from their own activities, has been seen as an allegory for Senator Joseph McCarthy's anti-Communist crusades of the 1950s.

Daddy Long Legs: The Musical Off-Broadway (12.10.15) Megan McGinnis, Adam Halpin
Based on the classic novel which inspired the 1955 movie starring Fred Astaire —a beloved tale in the spirit of Jane Austen, the Brontë Sisters, and “Downton Abbey”—this heartwarming Cinderella story about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor has charmed audiences of all ages from Los Angeles to London.
Daddy Long Legs premiered at the Rubicon Theatre Company in 2009 and has had acclaimed productions throughout the United States as well as international productions in Canada, Tokyo and London’s West End.
The show was originally produced by a consortium that includes the Rubicon Theatre Company, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and TheatreWorks Palo Alto, The Gem Theatre, Northlight Theatre, Skylight Music Theatre, and David Elzer.
This charming production stars the adorable real-live husband and wife team Megan McGinnis and Adam Halpin .
Dancing Pirate is a 1936 American film directed by Lloyd Corrigan. It is the third film shot in the three strip Technicolor process and the first musical in that format. Produced by the makers of Becky Sharp, the film was based on the December 1930 Colliers Magazine story Glorious Buccaneer by Emma-Lindsay Squier[1] a serious and action filled romance that may have been inspired by the story of Joseph Chapman.[2][3] The film features the debut of stage star Charles Collins and the cast includes Rita Hayworth as one of The Royal Cansino Dancers. Other dancers in the film were Pat Nixon and Marjorie Reynolds.

Starring: Ben Platt as Evan Hansen, Jennifer Laura Thompson as Cynthia, Rachel Bay Jones as Heidi, Michael Park as Larry, Laura Dreyfuss as Zoe, Mike Faist as Connor,Will Roland as Jared, and Kristolyn Lloyd as Alana.
A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new American musical about life and the way we live .
DEAR EVAN HANSEN: A NEW MUSICAL Broadway (June 24, 2017) Ben Platt, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Rachel Bay Jones, Michael Park, Laura Dreyfuss.( If you like this production, we also carry the same show from November, 2016, starring the original cast.)
Filmed in 16x9 Letterbox format, the filmer is located in the center Orchestra section. Therefore, the filmer is closer to the stage, While there are a variety of wide, medium and close-up shots, the only down side is that there is more spotlight washout during some of the scenes. The sound is excellent and there are no obstructions that inhibit the filmer's view.

A Doll’s House Part 2 (05.11.17) Broadway Laurie Metcalf, Chris Cooper, Condola Rashad, Jayne Houdyshell
Written by Tony Award nominee Lucas Hnath and directed byTony Award winner Sam Gold , A Doll’s House, Part 2 explores, in uproarious fashion, the emotional chaos that results when Nora Helmer returns to the home from which she exited fifteen years earlier. Laurie Metcalf is finally trying her hand at a legendary stage character, in the process earning a Tony nomination for best actress in a play.
Now, 15 years later, Nora comes back to that famously suffocating house a successful woman trying to tie up a few loose ends .
A brief blackout at the beginning where audio is heard; however, no picture for the first 2 minutes and 25 seconds. A nice combination of wide-, medium and close-up shots throughout. One or two minor blackouts lasting less than one-minute.

Chiwetel Ejiofor takes the title role in this dynamic new production of one of English drama’s oldest plays, directed by the National Theatre’s new Director Rufus Norris .
Everyman is successful, popular and riding high when Death comes calling. He is forced to abandon the life he has built and embark on a last, frantic search to recruit a friend, anyone, to speak in his defence. But Death is close behind, and time is running out.
One of the great primal, spiritual myths, Everyman asks whether it is only in death that we can understand our lives. A cornerstone of English drama since the 15th century, it now explodes onto the stage in a startling production with words by Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, and movement by Javier De Frutos.

(1997) – 1 hour concert special as broadcast on PBS. Taped in January 1997 at the Callum Theatre in the Palm Desert Resort hotel in Palm Springs, CA., includes sensational renditions of "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina," "Anything Goes," "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "As If We Never Said Goodbye," "Sleepy Man," "I Dreamed A Dream," "Heat Wave," and more... Recorded during a pledge drive, so concert is interrupted with breaks, but include Patti in the studio being interviewed, as well as trying to raise money. RARE BONUS: Clips of ANYTHING GOES from a bootleg with tons of close-ups! Bootlegged footage from 1988 Lincoln Center revival of ANYTHING GOES. This is NOT from the poor quality tape that has been circulating for years, but rather is completely different, newly surfaced footage! Very well filmed, with lots of great close ups, but some generational loss. Not the complete show, but about 40 minutes of musical highlights. This footage was discovered at the end of the above disc, so they are both on one DVD (About 90 minutes).

The Fantasticks Original Cut of Movie with Approximately 23-Minutes Restored (1995)
This is the original cut of the movie before its general theatrical release. It includes approximately 23-minutes of restored footage, including the opening rendition of the show's most celebrated song, " Try to Remember, " and a whole number between the fathers, " Plant a Radish ."
Also cut and now restored is " It Depends on What You Pay (The Rape Song )" . Restorning the songs is one thing, but dialogue that helps with character development was also restored making this a more complete version of " The Fantasticks " and certainly more in line with director Michael Ritchie's original vision of the film.
The movie was filmed in 1995, and shelved for five years. The released version was re-edited by Francis Ford Coppola with the consent of director Michael Ritchie; however, it is missing some key scenes and musical numbers. Now you can view the original version as it was intended to be seen.
While neer aspiring to be a movie musical groundbreaker along the lines of "Cabaret" or "Moulin Rouge," "The Fantasticks" is an out-and-out charmer: whimsical, compelling, and beautiful in every department. It stands, in its way, as an homage to movie musicals of days gone by: if you've seen "Oklahoma! (1955), you'll know what we mean. Ritchie - heretofore acclaimed for his deft satire, for his scalpel-sharp vision of America - here sheaths his sword and offers a surprisingly warm tribute to a beloved genre and to a country as it might once have been.
The film was completed in 1995 and scheduled for a Thanksgiving release, but executives at MGM/United Artists, discouraged by indifferent preview audience response, lost faith in the project and shelved it.
Due to a contractual obligation to Jones and Schmidt to give the film a theatrical release, MGM Board of Directors member Francis Ford Coppola decided to trim the film from its original 109 minute length to 86 minutes, and the abridged version finally was released in four theaters in September 2000. Ritchie's original, 109-minute version is finally available for all to see, especially those who love this musical favorite.
Amos Babcock Bellamy ( Joel Grey ) and Ben Hucklebee ( Brad Sullivan ) scheme to get their respective children, Luisa ( Jean Louisa Kelly ) and Matt ( Joey McIntyre ), to fall in love. Knowing they will resist their fathers' interference, the two men use reverse psychology and fabricate a feud, building a wall between their houses and forbidding their children to speak to each other.
When their plan works, they enlist the aid of El Gallo ( Jonathon Morris ), the proprietor of a traveling carnival, to put an end to their supposed disagreement in a manner which will not reveal their deception.
El Gallo pretends to kidnap Luisa with the help of his troupe, which includes elderly Shakespearean actor Henry Albertson (Barnard Hughes ) and his mute sidekick Mortimer ( Teller ), and arranges for Matt to rescue her. The couple settles into what they anticipate will be domestic bliss, but through the eyes of El Gallo and company they see the harsh realities of the world, and their innocent romanticism is replaced by a more mature understanding of love.

Fifth of July:
Highlighted by Swoosie Kurtz's Tony Award-winning performance, this 1982 recording of Fifth of July preserves what is likely to remain the definitive production of Lanford Wilson's highly acclaimed play. Originally presented on PBS's American Playhouse, the videotaped performance retains director Marshall W. Mason's original 1978 staging for New York's legendary Circle Repertory Company, while allowing TV director Kirk Browning to "open up" the play with outdoor exteriors of Wilson's Lebanon, Missouri, setting in the summer of 1977. It's there that Kenneth (Richard Thomas), a disabled Vietnam veteran, is reunited with several friends from their days as student activists, reflecting on their past, present, and future with varying degrees of trepidation, hope, and wisdom. Groundbreaking in its casual portrayal of an openly gay couple (Jeff Daniels is superb as Kenneth's supportive lover), Fifth of July clearly influenced The Big Chill, offering a formidable acting showcase to a young cast (including Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon) whose careers were boosted by this one-of-a-kind ensemble experience.

This was the first time Follies was ever presented in France,

productions. This is a fantastic production, but has some interesting
directorial choices like the ghosts of the Weismann girls are topless,
and Solange is played by a man in drag. In English, with French subtitles.
Pro-shot for broadcast on French television.
