Waitress

Pre-Broadway | September 2, 2015 | VOBs + smalls (SunsetBlvd79’s Master)

Cast: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Keala Settle (Becky), Jeanna de Waal (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Joe Tippett (Earl), Giana Ribeiro (Lulu)

Notes:Stunning HD capture of the new PreBroadway Sara Bareilles musical. Beautiful production and equally stunning performances. Jessie as you have come to expect gives a flawless performace with such beautiful and heartbreaking moments, with a matching cast! A+

Broadway | March 30, 2016 | VOBs + smalls (SunsetBlvd79's master)

Cast: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Keala Settle (Becky), Kimiko Glenn (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Nick Cordero (Earl)

Notes: Beautiful capture of this stunning Broadway transfer. This is the performance where the set broke and Sara Bareilles came out while it was being fixed. She sang (a cut song from the show and Part of Your World) and talked with the audience, which is included. A+

Broadway | July 20, 2016 | VOBs + smalls (SunsetBlvd79’s Master)

Cast: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Keala Settle (Becky), Stephanie Torns (u/s Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (u/s Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Nick Cordero (Earl), Charity Angél Dawson (Nurse Norma), McKenna Keane (Lulu), Ragan Pharris (s/w Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Ryan Vasquez (Father)

Notes: Beautiful HD capture with no obstructions of this charming show. Kimiko was on leave and Stephanie steps into the role, doing a wonderful job as Dawn. Terrific cast and performances! A+

Broadway | October 26, 2016 Matinee | VOBs + smalls (SunsetBlvd79’s Master)

Cast: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (u/s Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Henry Gottfried (u/s Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), William Popp (Earl)

Notes: Excellent HD capture of the replacement cast members. The show is still in wonderful shape with a terrific cast and stellar performances! A

Broadway | June 29, 2017 | VOBs + smalls (SunsetBlvd79’s Master)

Cast: Betsy Wolfe (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Molly Jobe (u/s Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (u/s Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Joe Tippett (Earl)

Notes:Beautiful HD capture of Betsy joining and Drew returning to the cast. Betsy remains one of my and Broadway's new unstoppable leading ladies, which is clearly stated in this role! A

Broadway | August 6, 2017 | MP4

Cast: Betsy Wolfe (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Molly Jobe (u/s Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Joe Tippett (Earl), Anastacia McCleskey (Nurse Norma), Ella Dane Morgan (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father)

Notes: Not the best filmed, but the audio is great and it’s the full show and the only known video of Christopher and Betsy together. Occasionally filmed vertical (but the video stays locked horizontally during that portion unfortunately) and edited together with horizontal footage. Lots of washout but what is captured is very interesting to see without all of the zooms in other videos.

Broadway | January 2019 | VOBs + smalls (NYCG8R’s Master)

Cast: Sara Bareilles (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Lenne Klingaman (Dawn), Gavin Creel (Dr. Pomatter), Tyrone Davis Jr (u/s Ogie), Andrew Fitch (u/s Cal), Larry Marshall (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Anastacia McCleskey (Nurse Norma), Molly Jobe (s/w Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Dan Tracy (Father)

Notes: Filmed early in Sara's third run, before she added new riffs, but she still gives off a wonderful performance to a very reactive audience.

Broadway | April 2019 | MP4 (StarCuffedJeans’ Master)

Cast: Shoshana Bean (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Molly Jobe (u/s Dawn), Jeremy Jordan (Dr. Pomatter), Eddie Jemison (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Larry Marshall (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Melody A Betts (Nurse Norma), Tess Murphy (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Dan Tracy (Father)

Notes: A nearly perfect video and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT performance. Small obstructions occur at Joe's table (but who cares) and during Negative. The rest of the show, however, is captured gorgeously (and this time not diagonally). The video is very Shoshana focused, but I try to give everyone (yes, Jeremy too) their moments. The colors are absolutely vivid and I was trying new stabilization settings on my camera and god I'm gonna keep it this way. Do not list this video with an exact date.

Broadway | July 2019 | MP4 (StarCuffedJeans’ Master)

Cast: Alison Luff (Jenna), Dayna Jarae Dantzler (u/s Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Mark Evans (Dr. Pomatter), Noah Galvin (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Richard Kline (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Arica Jackson (u/s Nurse Norma), Everleigh Rottuno (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Dan Tracy (Father)

Notes: Beautiful HD capture of a lot of new and old cast members, including newcomers Alison, Mark, and Noah, along with Caitlin's return to the role and Richard's short temporary residence in the Broadway company. Dayna is absolutely hilarious as Becky. Act One starts shortly after Earl's entrance. Please do not post screenshots of this video on Twitter ever. Gifs on Tumblr are okay after the NFT date, but don't go linking things to actors and shows.

Broadway | August 2019 | MP4 (StarCuffedJeans' Master)

Cast: ​Alison Luff (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Colleen Ballinger (Dawn), Mark Evans (Dr. Pomatter), Todrick Hall (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Richard Kline (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Dayna Jarae Dantzler (Nurse Norma), Delaney Quinn (Lulu)

Broadway | September 2021 | MP4 (1080p) (juniper47’s Master)

Cast: Sara Bareilles (Jenna), Anastacia McCleskey (u/s Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Joe Tippett (Earl), Gerianne Pérez (u/s Nurse Norma), Nora Lincoln Weiner (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Jobe (Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father), Tyrone Davis Jr (Ensemble), Henry Gottfried (Ensemble), Max Kumangai (Ensemble), Nyla Watson (Ensemble)

Notes: Filmed in 4K, also available as 1080p HD. First full musical filmed with the new camera! External audio source. Absolutely beautiful picture (further enhanced in post editing), very steady, following the action extremely well (perks of knowing the show well!). A little washout and a couple heads can be seen in the widest shots (but never really get in the way of anything). Mostly mid-range zoom, a few close-ups. Sara Bareilles was on fire (rewarded with a 45-second applause after SUTBM), and the audience was very enthusiastic. Funny little blooper/ad-lib when Caitlin dropped her tray during Christopher's second poem.

Broadway | October 2021 | MP4 (StarCuffedJeans’ Master)

Cast: Jennifer Nettles (Jenna), Maiesha Mcqueen (Becky), Ashley Blanchet (Dawn), Erich Bergen (Dr. Pomatter), Nik Dodani (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Anastacia Mcclesky (Nurse Norma), Charlotte Surak (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine), Molly Hager (Mother), Matt Deangelis (Father), Tyrone Davis Jr., Henry Gottfried, Molly Jobe, Curtis Thomas, Nyla Watson

Cast: Stephanie Torns (u/s Jenna), Erich Bergen (t/r Dr. Pomatter), Maiesha McQueen (Becky), Ashley Blanchet (Dawn), Ben Thompson (Earl), Nik Dodani (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Olivia Lucy Phillip (Nurse Norma), Olivia Webber Olesen (Lulu), Molly Jobe (Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father), Emily Koch (s/w Francine), Tyrone Davis Jr (Ensemble), Henry Gottfried (Ensemble), Curtis Thomas (Ensemble), Nyla Watson (Ensemble)

Notes: Mix of wide, medium, and close-up shots. Occasional minor obstruction from a head in lower right side of wider shots. Includes curtain call. Stephanie Torns is a powerhouse Jenna (massive applause after SUTBM!) and it was super fun getting to see her alongside the very delightful Erich Bergen!

Broadway | November 2021 (2) | MP4 (1080p) (juniper47’s Master)

Cast: Ciara Renée (Jenna), Brandon Kalm (u/s Dr. Pomatter), Maiesha McQueen (Becky), Gerianne Pérez (u/s Dawn), Ben Thompson (Earl), Nik Dodani (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Olivia Lucy Phillip (Nurse Norma), McKenzie Melia Calderon (Lulu), Cherise Thomas (Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father), Emily Koch (s/w Francine), Tyrone Davis, Jr., Henry Gottfried, Grace Stockdale, Curtis Thomas

Notes: Nik Dodani's final show. Filmed in 4K (released as 1080p and 4K), audio from external source. Mix of wide, medium, and close-up shots. Occasional brief obstruction from a head or arm in the lower right side of wider shots. Includes most curtain call and all of Ben's touching farewell speech for Nik. A fantastic start to Ciara's run as Jenna, and super fun to see Brandon's Dr. Pomatter and Gerianne's Dawn.

Broadway | November 2021 | MP4 (StarCuffedJeans’ Master)

Cast: Molly Jobe (u/s Jenna), Maiesha McQueen (Becky), Ashley Blanchet (Dawn), Erich Bergen (Dr. Pomatter), Nik Dodani (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Anastacia Mcclesky (Nurse Norma), Charlotte Surak (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Emily Koch (s/w Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father)

Broadway | November 26, 2021 | MTS (shesmydoctor’s master)

Cast: Ciara Renée (Jenna), Maeisha McQueen (Becky), Gerianne Pérez (u/s Dawn), Henry Gottfried (u/s Dr. Pomatter), Nik Dodani (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Olivia Lucy Phillip (Nurse Norma), Ava Kacey Thomas (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Cherise Thomas (Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father), Grace Stockdale (Ensemble), Tyrone Davis Jr (Ensemble), Curtis Thomas (Ensemble), Brandon Kalm (s/w Ensemble)

Notes: The first ~13 minutes are heavily obstructed, and sometimes fully dark, due to an unfortunate head blocking most of the action in front of the kitchen set piece, but luckily the person moved and every other musical number is mostly unobstructed and steady with the action followed well. Scenes are a little more shaky, but besides working around the head at times and some minor drops throughout it is consistent and clear! Most main action especially in the center is captured and big numbers like SUTBM are great. Both acts are shot start to finish. Ciara and Gerianne are both fantastic stepping into their respective roles!

Broadway | December 18, 2021 Matinee | MP4 (shesmydoctor’s master)

Cast: Stephanie Torns (u/s Jenna), Maeisha McQueen (Becky), Ashley Blanchet (Dawn), Joshua Henry (Dr. Pomatter), Tyrone Davis Jr (Ogie), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Benny Elledge (Cal), Matt DeAngelis (u/s Earl), Olivia Lucy Phillip (Nurse Norma), McKenzie Melia Calderon (Lulu), Emily Koch (s/w Francine Pomatter), Cherise Thomas (Mother), Andrew Fitch (s/w Father), Grace Stockdale (Ensemble), Curtis Thomas (Ensemble), Mark Christine (Ensemble)

Notes: Shot from behind 2 very tall and very fidgety people, so there is a huge black space on the right side of the stage, between the center and Joe's table. Occasionally they lean into the frame even further or lift hands, shoulders, etc into the shot and there really wasn't a lot I could do. Act 1 settles in about 6 minutes in and act 2 during the scene before I Didn't Plan It, it remains shaky throughout but definitely has great moments.

West End | July 2019 | MTS (Hitmewithyourbethshot’s Master)

Cast: Olivia Moore (u/s Jenna), Marisha Wallace (Becky), Ashley Roberts (Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Blake Harrison (Ogie), Stephen Leask (Cal), Shaun Prendergast (Joe), Peter Hannah (Earl)

Notes: Missing about 2 mins throughout Opening Up. Bar obstructs at the bottom of the shot for action close to the front of the stage but for Waitress this isn't much. Sara and Gavin break in their first scene

Notes: Mostly complete video with a great mix of shots. Minimal dropouts, shakiness and obstructions. Video cuts out halfway through “A Soft Place to Land” and picks up during the transition into the next scene, otherwise it is a complete video. Included is a full audio from the same performance.

Notes: Highlights totaling a little under an hour. Highlights include “What Baking Can Do”, “When He Sees Me”, “Bad Idea”, “Bad Idea Reprise”, “You Matter to Me”, “She Used to Be Mine” with various other scenes. There are some obstructions and occasional shakiness but still good highlights. Included is full audio from the same performance.
