Phantom of the Opera

Broadway | April 1988 | VOB + Smalls

Cast: Michael Crawford (Phantom), Sarah Brightman (Christine), Steve Barton

Notes: Video of the Original Broadway Cast. Heavily aged and generational loss.

Broadway | October 8, 1988 | VOB + Smalls

Cast: Michael Crawford (Phantom), Patti Cohenour (u/s Christine), Steve Barton (Raoul), Nick Wyman, Cris Groenendaal, Judy Kaye, David Romano, Leila Martin.

Notes: Michael Crawford’s final Broadway performance; shot from the balcony, right side if you're facing the stage. The sound is good. Faces are not clear from a distance, but in the close-up shots you can make out most features. At the end is the farewell from the cast to Michael Crawford, a speech by Steve Barton and a speech by Crawford.

US Tour (Dallas) | April 6, 2006 | VOB

Cast: Gary Mauer (Phantom), Elizabeth Southard (Christine), Jim Weitzer (Phantom), Kim Stengel, John Jellison, DC Anderson, John Whitney, Patti Davidson-Gorbea, Kate Wray

Notes: Stunning last performance for the Mauer/Southard husband/wife team. Slightly echoey audio that is also fed into the double-shot video also listed. Video is an excellent capture, great sound, stunning cast and overall quality is splendid. Shot on the same night by two different tapers, one close up, and one in the balcony. They merged their footage flawlessly and came out with the most unique capture of the show. Absolutely marvelous seamless video with not one cover-up.
