Comments

Full show pro shot with a single camera

filming from the centre balcony with a clear view of the entire stage

Mostly full stage shot, but with some mid range close ups.

However the upper part of the stage - such as Billy's raised bed -

can't be seen due to the over hang.

Audio is full soundboard.

 

This is very nearly the original cast of the show in not only the

earliest filiming of this show, but the best.
