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.

May 2013 (Broadway) (totheemeraldcitytrades)
Alan Cumming, Jenny Sterlin, Brendan Titley, Chris Kipiniak
*Phenomenal show with an innovative take on the classic play, and Alan Cumming gives an amazing performance. A few blackouts (seconds long) and moments of wandering, but mostly its really well-shot and steady and unobstructed. The set has video-screens that show close-ups, and the Master shot those when the rest of the stage was pitch black.
