Bright Star - Broadway - June 26, 2016 (Closing Night) (SJ Bernly's master)

FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD)

CAST: Carmen Cusack (Alice Murphy), Paul Alexander Nolan (Jimmy Ray Dobbs), Michael Mulheren (Mayor Josiah Dobbs), AJ Shively (Billy Cane), Hannah Elless (Margo Crawford), Stephen Bogardus (Daddy Cane), Dee Hoty (Mama Murphy), Stephen Lee Anderson (Daddy Murphy), Emily Padgett (Lucy Grant), Maddie Shea Baldwin (Edna)

NOTES: Final performance. An electric performance right from the start. The enthusiastic audience is extremely supportive, and the cast gives emotional performances. Steve Martin joins the band for the Entr’Acte, and there’s a standing ovation for him, as well as for Carmen following At Long Last. There were no speeches given, but the curtain call was much longer than usual with Steve, Edie, and Walter all taking bows, and Steve doing a short impromptu tap number. This is beautifully captured with no obstruction. There is a one minute blackout over the first scene just before She’s Gone, but the rest of the show is complete. There is some slight washout in a few of the wider shots. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes the entire extended curtain call and playbill scans.
