NOTES: (VOB + smalls) About five minutes worth of cover-ups at the beginning (you see Glinda's entrance) because of latecomers and few more random ones during the first Act. The first few minutes of the second Act are similar to those of Act One. No obstructions, incredible close-ups (ever wanted to read the board in Dillamond's classroom?)

Eden Espinosa (Elphaba), Megan Hilty (Glinda), Derrick Williams (Fiyero), Carol Kane (Madame Morrible), David Garrison (The Wizard), Jenna Leigh Green (Nessarose) Robb Sapp (Boq), Sean McCourt (Dr. Dillamond
NOTES: (VOB + no smalls - 4.2 GB) Megan Hilty's last show in the Broadway run (she will reprise the role of Glinda in the Los Angeles run). A very Megan-centric recording, good close-ups and follows the action very well. Includes detailed scene selection, playbill scans at the start (DVD 1) and stage door recordings (DVD 2). One of, if not the best performance of Megan.

NOTES: (VOB + smalls) Willemijn seemed to be in a bit of a funny mood, she cracked up in Heissgeliebt (Popular) and nearly started laughing in the Catfight. She does a High Witch Cackle in the Cornfield scene, probably to try it for Jana's last the next day. Lucy seemed out to make her laugh even more than usual. Most of Wicked Witch of the East is missing and so is the beginning of March of the Witch Hunters.

NOTES: (VOB + smalls - 6.42 GB) Automation Failure in scene transition to Dancing Through Life. Crew comes on-stage to take Dillamond's chalkboard off-stage manually, however they're unable to and show is stopped shortly after. Scene cuts straight to the post-stop scene mid-sentence seamlessly. Ozhead bumps into the throne when first introduced and gets stuck facing stage left for the remainder of the scene. Odd 10 seconds during the flying portion of Defying Gravity where the video switches to another video and the audio switches to the cast album version.
