Comments

Single camera filming from the balcony, slightly to the left from centre.

Good clear view of the stage, although the rail does come into the

bottom of shots on occasion, blocking the very lip at the front of the stage.

Pictures is good and crisp, with some decent close ups.

The show is still in preview so things are being perfected, but that also means

the audience doesn't know all the jokes so some great reactions.
