All videos are in VOB unless otherwise noted. Most screenshots and comments are not my own: the dates that are underlined are the ones that I have taken (I only download the musicals/plays when I have time to patiently wait for my internet). Please cite my site if you take them. If you see your own screenshot here, email me and I will put your name up or take it down. As my internet connection is very weak, if you request screenshots please note that it will take about 3-4 hours after I read your email to provide screenshots to you.
