In The Heights 3/25/09 matinee
CAST: Shaun Taylor-Corbett as (u/s) Usnavi, Blanca Camacho as (u/s) Abuela Claudia, Tony Chiroldes as (u/s) Piragua Guy, Mandy Gonzalez, Marcy Harriell, Rick Negron
NOTES: There are times when this video is great, and then there are times when this
video is not so great. Let me preface by saying I ended up being seated next to an usher in the front mezzanine. Up until "Pacience y Fe" coverups occur kind of often, but they aren't terrible. Most notably there is one during the beginning of "Benny's Dispatch", "It Won't Be Long Now" and the last half of "96,000." Act two only has blackouts during clapping sometimes. I ended up propping the camera
up on my knee so the video gets really steady. I'm surprised the usher didn't notice, but I really wanted to make sure Shaun's performance was filmed. Shaun was fantastic and really stepped up Usnavi, as no one else in the role has. The audience was a typical school group packed Wednesday matinee. You can hear some talking from people at the times, and the people in front of me got up and came back 4 times, so you see them walk by.
Full audio, with probably a total of seven minutes of coverups, which occur mostly in act one.

Harley got sick half way through act one and was replaced by Kyle Post. This was Harley's final day in the show. Filmed from the mid-mezzanine house left. Some heads in the way but nothing terrible. "You'll See" through "Tango:Maureen" is sound only picture starts back up at "Life Support". Video is missing "Will I?" through "We're Okay". Act Two is complete. B+

Filmed in 16:9 widescreen. Almost no obstructions, with the exception of an instance where a few people left early and walked across the walkway. A couple of very brief blackouts, one during "Rent" because of latecomers and another during "Contact" when the bright light practically blinded filmer. External audio from MD fed into video, so audio is very clear. Also, there are some scenes that are very dimly lit so they were a little difficult to see, but video is edited to increase the contrast a bit. [1 disc]

A+ | Stunning production and sensational cast. Josefina as Maria was precious and an amazing voice. Karen was full of sass and perfection in dance and voice. Features elements of bilingual songs and script which add so much to the story. Beautiful production from top to bottom! Also includes 13 minutes (opening) from the 12/20/08 performance.

West Side Story
2/23/09 ~ Broadway *sunsetblvd79's master
First Preview: Matt Cavenaugh, Josefina Scaglione, Karen Olivo, Cody Green, George Akram, Curtis Holbrook, Joey Haro. Stunning production of this revival. Josefina and Karen still steal the show. The cast was on fire and there was a lot of energy in the audience as it was the first performance on Broadway. There are some changes from the DC run, which work better. Beautiful production and capture with no obstructions. A+
