Comments Audience video recording of the entire pre-Broadway production  which means it differs, slightly to both the original Los Angeles version, and the now opened Broadway one, as it is in two acts. Picture and sound are near perfect but, this is a 'stealth' recording,  so there is are no stage wide shots, and some heads and other body parts, in the way on occasion. However, when the camera gets a good view the picture quality is brilliant. Cast is largely the same as those who opened on Broadway. The performances are outstanding.

Comments: Single camera filming from the right hand side of the balcony Some heads in frame, especially at the bottom, whenever the action moves towards the front of the stage. Some 'hidden' moments especially during the opening. However "Any Minute" is all filmed from a distance, making it impossible to see what's happening, with, what appears to be a slight cut in the middle. Sounds is good and clear. The encore "Brand New You" is missing, however.
