Comments:
Single camera filming from the upper balcony. Picture is very crisp and clear but wonders a lot. Several blackouts and missing sections, plus
quite a bit of footage being of the upper stage scenery Sound is very clear, although muffled for some of the opening number. This is only around 60minutes of act one only with several missing sections, and a good view of the scenery, and mid range shots only. All the same it's brilliant.

  Tech: H264, 1280x720, AAC, Widescreen/16:9, 133mins, 2.45GB
Comments:   Show is split into eight files of between eight and twenty-three minutes each, nicely split between songs so nothing is missed. Shot from third row in the stalls (orchestra), with perfect view of the stage, and some of the closest close ups you are ever going to see. Focus is naturally mostly on one side, but with some swinging to the other side and occasionally into the audience when the cast go through the centre aisle so next to nothing is missed. Slight washout only in the harshest spotlights. Full show but missing video for the spoken finale at the start of the eight file. The singing, bows are included at the end.
Cast:  Hayley Canham as Matilda, Charles Brunton as Miss Trunchbull [U/S], Haley Flaherty as Miss Honey, Steve Furst as Mr Wormwood, Annette McLaughlin as Mrs Wormwood, Nick Searle as Michael Wormwood, James Moore as Bruce Bogtrotter.
