Comments

Single video camera filming from the balcony slightly to the left of dead centre

with mostly a very clear view of the stage, but with limited view of the far right.

Occasional shakes but some great close ups.

Near perfect clarity of the video is matched by two audio tracks

the first being the original - untouched - cam recording while the second has been remasted by
 Declipped the louder parts, equalized the balance (original favored the right channel slightly) & widened the stereo mix

Disc is fully authored with the chapters mentioned below, 

including menus complete with audio and a cast list..
However, the first fifteen minutes of act one and the first ten of act two were not filmed.

But as this was thewho's first time filming, in a strange theatre, with a strange camera he did really well.

The cast are, of course, phenomenal, with an understudy on for Gareth Gates. 

working really hard to keep the show going without the traditional stage revolve.
