W

Waiting for Godot - Broadway - November 24, 2013 (Opening Night) (Lanelle's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Aidan Gemme (The Boy), Billy Crudup (Lucky), Ian McKellen (Estragon), Patrick Stewart (Vladimir), Shuler Hensley (Pozzo)

War Horse - West End - February 27, 2014 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  MKV (HD) CAST: Sion Daniel Young (Albert Narracott), Josie Walker (Rose Narracott), Alistair Brammer (Billy Narracott), Alex Avery (Captain Nicholls), Steve North (Ted Narracott), Tom Hodgkins (Arthur Narracott) NOTES: Multi-cam pro-shot broadcast live to cinemas as part of National Theatre Live, Includes interval interview and documentary. 

War Paint - Broadway - March 11, 2017 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Patti LuPone (Helena Rubinstein), Christine Ebersole (Elizabeth Arden), John Dossett (Tommy Lewis), Douglas Sills (Harry Fleming) NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of the Broadway transfer. Some changes for Broadway from the previous Goodman Theater production. Excellent performances from the entire cast with clear picture and great sound throughout; very good video. 2 DVDs. A War Paint - Broadway - April 29, 2017 (Matinee) (NYCG8R's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Patti LuPone (Helena Rubinstein), Christine Ebersole (Elizabeth Arden), John Dossett (Tommy Lewis), Douglas Sills (Harry Fleming) NOTES: The master gets caught during Face to Face. You can hear someone say “TURN IT OFF”. Blackout during that part. Wasted - Southwark Playhouse - 2018 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Matthew Jacobs Morgan (Branwell Brontë), Molly Lynch (Anne Brontë), Natasha Barnes (Charlotte Brontë), Siobhan Athwal (Emily Brontë) We Are The Tigers - Off-Broadway - March, 2019 (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Lauren Zakrin (Riley Williams), Wonu Ogunfowora (Cairo), Jenny Rose Baker (Kate Dalton), MiMi Scardulla (Reese), Kaitlyn Frank (Annleigh), Cathy Ang (Mattie Wheeler), Celeste Rose (Chess), Zoe Jensen (Farrah), Sydney Parra (Eva Sanchez), Louis Griffin (Clark) NOTES: Starts at the beginning of "I Just Wanna" and missing part of "Mattie's Lament." The theater was really full tonight so there are a good number of heads in this video, but they are worked around to the best of my ability. This is a super small theater (less than 160 seats) and at times the cast members were definitely singing to the camera and honestly giving their best performances because of it. All of the things on the upper level (the bathroom, the pathway, and the kitchen) are captured perfectly, and the zooms on the lower level (the living room and bench) look good as well. Obviously because this is a murder mystery kind of show the lighting can get a little bit dark, but my camera handles low lighting incredibly well. This is honestly the best video you could expect from this venue We Will Rock You - Germany (Cologne) - August, 2005 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alex Melcher (Galileo), Vera Bolten (Scaramouche), Brigitte Oelke (Killer Queen), Martin Berger (Khashoggi), Michaela Kovarikova (Meat/Oz), DMJ (Brit/J.B.), James Sbano (Pop/Buddy/Bap), Harald Tauber (Teacher), Willemijn Verkaik NOTES: Multicam proshot We Will Rock You - Utrecht (The Netherlands) - October, 2010 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: John Vooijs (Galileo), Marjolein Teepen (Scaramouche), Pia Douwes (Killer Queen), Paul Donkers (Khashoggi), Floortje Smit (Meat/Oz), Ruud van Overdijk (Brit/J.B.), Rutger le Poole (Pop/Buddy/Bap) NOTES: Good capture. Heads in the way, but also a lot of good close-ups. Dubble DVD! We Will Rock You - West End - February 11, 2003 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Tony Vincent (Galileo), Hannah Jane Fox (Scaramouche), Sharon D Clarke (Killer Queen), Alexander Hanson (Khashoggi), Kerry Ellis (Meat/Oz), Nigel Clauzner (Brit/J.B.), Nigel Planer (Pop/Buddy/Bap) The Wedding Singer - Broadway - April 1, 2006 (Preview) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Stephen Lynch (Robbie Hart), Laura Benanti (Julia), Matthew Saldivar (Sammy), Kevin Cahoon (George), Rita Gardner (Rosie), Amy Spanger (Holly), Richard H Blake (Glen), Felicia Finley (Linda) NOTES: Includes pictures of outside of the theatre and playbill. This was before the changes were made to the production. Blackouts throughout the show. The Wedding Singer - Off-West End - March 1, 2020 (Matinee) (Closing Night) (Highlights) (queenofthedead's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Kevin Clifton (Robbie Hart), Rhiannon Chesterman (Julia), Ashley Emmerson (Sammy), Andrew Carthy (George), Sandra Dickinson (Rosie), Tara Verloop (Holly), Jonny Fines (Glen), Erin Bell (Linda), Lori Haley Fox (Angie), Andy Brady (David Fonda), Nathan Ryles (Harold Fonda), Jordan Crouch (Donnie), Aimee Moore (Tiffany), Simon Anthony (Shane McDonough), Paris Green (Donatella), Vanessa Grace Lee (Donatella’s Mother), Morgan Jackson (Mookie), Ellie Seaton (Crystal) NOTES: 38 minutes of act 1 of the closing performance, unobstructed.

Well filmed from the balcony. Mostly a full stage shot. Some generational loss. Wenn Rosenblätter Fallen - Oberhausen - June 13, 2016 (Rumpel's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Pia Douwes (Rose), Anton Zetterholm (Till), Annemieke van Dam (Iris)  

West Side Story - Hollywood Bowl - July 19, 2016 (SJ Bernly's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Jeremy Jordan (Tony), Solea Pfeiffer (Maria), Karen Olivo (Anita), Matthew James Thomas (Riff), George Akram (Bernardo), Drew Foster (Action), Jose Moreno Brooks (Chino), Anthony C Chatmon II (A-Rab), Kyle Selig (Baby John), Mike Schwitter (Big Deal), Jeff Smith (Diesel), Kevin Chamberlin (Krupke), Jennifer Sanchez (Rosalia), Erica Dorfler (Consuela) NOTES: This concert version of the show is abridged with shortened scenes, simple costumes, and no sets or choreography, but Jeremy, Solea, and Karen are absolutely phenomenal with soaring vocals and emotional performances. Very well captured with no dropouts, no obstruction, and no washout. The stage is filmed directly most of the time; the screens are occasionally filmed, usually when the actors are not onstage. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

Schrank), Lee Sellars (Krupke), Greg Vinkler (Doc) NOTES: 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.

the biography:

↳ In high school, Marissa’s bubbly nature was one of the many factors that helped the girl coast through high school. She never needed to become a cheerio, nor did she ever worry about being slushied. She was just funloving, flirty and, occasionally, impulsive. She sort of just hovered in the middle of McKinley’s extremes, spending time floating from group to group, attending sports games and dating here and there. All in all, Marissa could claim that she made it through high school, fairly unscathed - apart from a few heartbreaks, which she eventually healed from. It was her senior year at McKinley when things began to turn around. A nasty divorce between her parents had left her confused about where she wanted to go and what she wanted to do post high school. It’s not that she didn’t have options, she had a college fund to fall back on - she had some ideas about what career she wanted to pursue, but those things fell to the wayside when her mom offered for her to come stay with her in Miami.

↳ Even though it was hard leaving her friends and father back in Ohio, Marissa waited for graduation before she headed to Florida. From the moment she got there, living with a mom who was desperate to relive her youth felt fun at first. The two would go out together to shop and party, she never pressured her about school or work. They lived in the lap of luxury where Marissa could work inconsistent retail jobs during the day and party and post on Instagram at night. It was an easy routine, in which it’s only downside was the occasional bad hangover or blackout. While she had always planned to eventually go to school for journalism, the motivation never really set in and eventually it was obvious that the money that was put away for college had quickly dwindled over time - and time flied when you’re having fun right? Years passed, and Marissa stayed validated by shallow connections with her partier friends and vapid connections.

↳ This year however, everything got real. Her mom began a new relationship and suddenly their modest apartment felt crowded. Marissa figured she could deal, since these days she was barely home anyways, and her mom was entitled to form whatever relationships she wanted to. She had never expected, to come home early one morning after a party, to cross paths with her mom’s new man. It took nothing more than a few inappropriate comments about her ‘beauty’ and a the older mans hand on her knee for the twenty-two year old to lose it at him, immediately causing a scene and accusing him of clearly hitting on her. Her mom, whom she expected to defend her no matter what, ferociously defended her boyfriend and the tension eventually reached a boiling point. If Marissa couldn’t see eye to eye with the couple, she would have to leave.

↳ With no education, little money and hopeless job prospects, Marissa crashed on her friends couches for a few weeks before ultimately surrendering to her fate and calling her father. Within 24 hours of placing the call, she was in her car driving across North Carolina with whatever belongings she could fit. Now that she’s back in Ohio, she feels a bit like she failed. All her social media showed her living the high life, when in reality - things were nothing but fun. She’s dreads running into people she went to high school with - but now that she’s just been hired front and center as bartender at the local dive spot, she’s sure that’s anything but avoidable.

QUESTIONS -

What is your biggest regret?

I don’t live with regrets. Yolo, right? Gotta embrace things when they suck sometimes, that’s how you grow 🙏 Speaking up for myself and winding up back in Lima, Ohio definitely feels like something i’m about to regret.

If you went back in time, would you change it if you could?

Like I said, don’t have regrets, but I probably wouldn’t have partied away my college fund and went to school straight out after McKinley, but it’s whatever. I can’t go back and there’s no point dwelling on it.

Are there any guilty pleasures in your life?

See, I never really understood feeling guilty about something that gives you pleasure? If it makes you happy? Embrace it.

What is your favorite television show and why?

Any reality television, sign me up. Honestly I usually just have the tv on for background noise so reality tv is just dramatic enough without any real plot that I can phase in and out. Love Island is fun, maybe Are You The One. The Circle. The list goes on and on.
