Newsies  Broadway [3rd preview] Nederlander Theatre, New York, NY, USA 17/3/12 Cam 10 DVD
  Tech Details: NTSC, Widescreen / 16:9, Dolby Digital, 122  mins, Chapters 5 mins
Comments: Single camera filming from the centre of the balcony. Good clear view of very nearly the entire stage although some heads may appear at the bottom of the frame. Great mix of close ups and full stage shots to get the full scale of this wonderful, energetic show. Slight blackouts at the end of the big numbers and very slight washout from the lights don't spoil this at all. It's only the third preview (the show opened 10 days later) so the audience doesn't know it, but that doesn't stop them from loving every second.
