NOTES: (MP4 - 12.5 GB) Filmed in 4K. External audio used. Pretty much a perfect capture of this play. A head is visible in the left hand corner but I make sure it never obstructs the actors. Some of actor’s heads are cut off when they stand in the recording booth if they’re positioned far back (see screencaps). Mainly filmed in wides with mediums when appropriate. Recording includes the curtain call and marquee.

Heidi Blickenstaff (Heidi), Hunter Bell (Hunter), Jeff Bowen (Jeff), Larry Pressgrove (Larry), Susan Blackwell (Susan)

NOTES: (VOB + smalls - 3.44 GB) Cute little show about making it to Broadway. Heidi was my favorite part of the show. There were some very funny parts to the show, especially if you are a theater buff. There are about 10 mins of total blackouts, which is mostly a chunk in within the first 13 minutes. Despite that, a nice capture and the audience was very into the show. A-
