Comments

The first amateur production of the show, 

premiering at Jams Robert Brown's former camp 

(where the idea for the original show had started.)

with the assistant of several of the original Broadway cast

members including Eamon Foley (Simon) helping with choreography.

and James Robert Brown himself working on the new orchestrations.

Slightly different from Broadway, as some of the LA versions elements

have been bought back, including the song 

"Being a Geek" (replacing "Good Enough") and the Rabbis.

The song Opportunity was also reinstated after being dropped from

the Broadway previews. 

This is very nearly the enture performance, baring some of the 

minor dialogue between songs and was fully pro-shot presumable by other campers. 

 

All files were downloaded from the web in MP4 format before being converted.

into this fully authored DVD

Bonus footage comes from: another amateur production at CAP but the quality

of that isn't great, place the songs feature different cast members. (audience footage)

Another showcase production of the opening number. (pro shoot)

And two promo events by the original Broadway cast. (audience footage)
