Comments: Historic recording of the first time Steinman worked with Meat Loaf in this musical set in a US Army camp during the Vietnam War. Sounds like this is from a live performance rather than demos as there's clearly an audience there. Sound is good, mono quality, but with some crackles. which, given it has been compressed down to 32kbps is remarkable.

Comments: Single camera filming from the balcony almost directly onto the stage Great clear view throughout with some great close ups and near perfect sound. Reading for a show about the musical exploration of the Roman emperor from the creators of Spring Awakening. The actors, wearing their own clothes, mostly perform from scripts - hence it being called a 'reading - with limited movement.

Comments: Single camera filming from the top of the balcony. A small amount of heads in the way when filming the stage front but nothing too bad. Some blackouts, especially during the opening numbers, but that soon settles and are the only things preventing this from being a straight 10/10. Otherwise great capture of the re-worked show. Picture is near perfect, with great sound.

Comments: European premier Performance. Great quality capture of the BBC broadcast although the disc was left to run on somewhat, so there's over an hour of snow at the end!! Picture and sound are both perfect. as are the performances. The show is performed on stage with the actors, in costume, performing wearing head mikes, without large scenery but with props and movement, in front of and occasionally in between and around the on stage orchestra and choir. The musical is performed, almost complete, with just a few songs either shortened or removed.

Neil Simon Theatre, New York, NY, USA
Comments: Single camera filming from high up in roughly the centre of the top balcony Good view of most of the stage but for the very front and the very top. Some heads slip into view from time to time, and there are some blank screen moments when the camera is hidden (sound continues) The sound itself is rather good.

Robin Hood:
Prince of Sherwood
St
Augustine's Musical
Theatre Company
Comments: Although pro shot this is a low budget production with a single camera filming from from either end of the balcony but this does manage to capture everything that happens There is, however, very limited switching between the two, suggesting that this may have been filmed on different nights by the same person. and explaining why the sound can appear, very, very slightly out of sync on occasion. The staging is somewhat limited but the cast are very good and make the most of the material which comes across very professional The sound is very good, and clearly soundboard, even if in mono as it picks up the stage front band very well, as well as the audience not to mention the very good voices of the cast via their head microphones.
Cast: Carl Adams- Robin Hood, Vanessa Campbell-Kelly - Maid Marion, Syd Reeves - Lord Loxley, Graham Lewis - Sheriff of Nottingham, Pat Yarnold - Morgana, Nick Goodwin - King Richard, Warren Woodcock - Guy of Gisbourne, Ben Draper - Alan A'dale, Andy Arblaston - Little John, Karl Evans - Friar Tuck, David Morgan - Will Scarlet
Comments: Single camera filming from the balcony on the right. Decent view of the stage, but some heads in shot on occasion. Excellent close ups, and very clear / sharp picture. However once the boxing ring is moved forward it is tricky to see anything other than the screens. Sound is perfect.

Brooks Atkinson Theater, New York, USA
Comments: Single camera filming from up near the back of the top balcony, towards the left side of the stage. The filming angle is fairly steep and due to this there are some heads in shot - plus the occasional person walking passed - plus some eight minutes of black screen, mostly at the start of Act 1, but the quality of the footage is very good with some great close ups. Sounds is very good throughout.

Comments: Single camera filming from the back centre of the balcony. Good clear view of the centre stage with some nice close ups. but some of the side action is missed. Video screen is washed out by lights, but everything else is good. Some break up due to compression used, but not too bad. Sound is mostly very good to perfect. Great perfromances all round.

Comments: Single camera filming from the balcony, to the right of stage. Far left of stage is out of shot. Mostly clear video. Blacked out during most of the initial school scenes due to late comers taking their seats. Sound good and clear. Most of the show comes from one performance, but with the finale from another due to security issues with a slight more obscure angle. There is some role back between the two. Curtain calls are blacked out.

Comments: Single camera filming from the right balcony. Picture is therefore slightly side on but with some decent close ups although some wash out from the bright lights. Sound is very good. There does appear to be some slight edits here and there however. although it's impossible to know if anything much is missing as I don't know the show well enough but apparent includes several songs that didn't make the Broadway production.

Sam S Shubert Theatre, New York, NY, USA
Comments: Single camera filming directly on to the stage from the lower balcony. Almost perfect view of the centre stage with some great close ups although there is some stage searching. Sound, in full stereo is perfect. The show is in it's final previews, (it would open 5 days later) so the crowd don't know the jokes and receive them very enthusiastically.

Comments: Single camera shooting from the balcony, slightly to stage right. Good clear view, most of the time with only the occasional head blocking the extreme sides of the stage, and whenever the actors sit at the very front. Sound is excellent and clear throughout.

[w/ (Boy) George O'Dowd]
Comments: Single camera filming from the balcony slightly to the right of centre Good clean view, and the filmer knows where to look so limited time wasted scanning the stage. Sound does have a slight background noise but easy to ignore. The audience is loud due to it being the final performance but not so much as to ruin the recording, just add lots of atmosphere.

Comments: Single camera filming from the back of the theatre on the right of the stage. Some heads in view, during stage wide shots especially at the beginning, and some black outs, but these improve as the show progresses. Close though are really good. Sound is great.

Comments: Single camera shooting from the balcony slightly to the left of centre stage. Some heads in view on occasion but mostly a clear view of, at least, the central portion of the stage throughout so very little of the action is missed. Sound is rather good.

Comments: A multi camera pro shoot from a dress rehearsal so there's no audience. Video quality is very good but for some compression issues. Sound is soundboard and perfect.

Theatre Royal, Sydney, Australia
Comments: Pro shoot of the Australian cast, the picture and sound are therefore perfect, but would seem to be just a single camera, filming head on, so given the scale of this production, it is mostly full stage, or mid range with very few real close ups of any particular characters. Sound is pure soundboard, so no audience noise.

Comments: Great pro shoot The only fault being that the picture is a little on the yellow side Sound is great though. Show is sung in English with just a touch of German dialogue here and there.

Gutenstien, Austria
Comments: Good single camera shooting from slightly to the right of the balcony. Some nice wide shots with great close ups. Sound is good although encoded oddly as it would appear to be 2 channel surround sound... which just doesn't make sense.

Comments: Single Camera pro shot of one of the final dress rehearsals for the original production in advance of the later cancelled Broadway opening that was due in April 1997. This very near complete - the camera stops during some scene changes - show a different running order, an extra character - "Aunt Dot" - and some added songs to the version that would open in London in 1998. And was watched by Andrew Lloyd Weber himself. The camera tends to film mostly in close up, so does tend to miss a little of the action as it pans around. but you do get to hear some of the conversations about how the show is progressing And off stage prompts when lines need correcting!!

Comments:
Single camera filming from
the middle of the stalls / Orchestra to stage
right.
Good quality picture and
sounds, but there
are heads in heads in the way
from time to time.
although the filmer does
manage to get all of the main scenes.
but action that takes place
on the floor of the stage
isn't always totally visible
due to the heads while
the split stage - lowered
platform - used at the end
of act one and the start of
act two, isn't too clear
due to the upward angle of
the filming angle..

Comments: Single camera filming direct on to the small stage. Full stage in view at all times, no close ups. Picture is full HD, and the sound is from the camera, but great all the same although some clicking from a nearby stills camera. Small independent amateur production of the show, with great performances just a shame I can't find who was in the cast. A few minor edits but nothing major missing. Uses the original UK score with "Annie Christmas". Show is stored in four MP4 files downloaded from youtube in full HD.
