It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. There’s a lot of chatter and rustling from the audience, but the sound is otherwise excellent. Includes playbill scans.

NOTES: Really beautiful shot in an intimate space. Lots of zooms, but a good amount of wider shots too with a very limited (almost nonexistent) amount of heads. The lighting in this theater really liked my camera and I know the show almost “by heart” so I think I followed the action as well as possible. My battery died during the last song, but it starts at the very beginning with only one drop out during dialogue.

Amélie - Pre-Broadway/Los Angeles - December 4, 2016 (Preview) (SJ Bernly's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Phillipa Soo (Amélie Poulain), Savvy Crawford (Young Amélie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Nino Quincampoix), Tony Sheldon (Raymond Dufayel / Collignon), Manoel Felciano (Raphaël Poulain / Bretodeau), Alison Cimmet (Amandine Poulain / Philomene), Harriett D Foy (Suzanne), Maria-Christina Oliveras (Gina), Alyse Alan Louis (Georgette / Sylvie / Collignon's Mother), Randy Blair (Hipolito / Suicidal Tourist / Elton John), Heath Calvert (Lucien / Mysterious Man), Heath Calvert (Adrien Wells/Wallace), Paul Whitty (Fluffy / Collignon's Father), Paul Whitty (Joseph), David Andino (Blind Beggar), David Andino (Garden Gnome)

NOTES: This show is magical, Phillipa is captivating, and the entire ensemble is perfectly quirky. There have been a few changes since Berkeley that tighten up the show a bit and make it ready for Broadway. A near perfect capture with no washout, no obstruction, and just one very quick dropout. 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.

NOTES: Great HD capture of the Broadway transfer. There are a few short scenes/moments far stage right blocked by a head, but nothing major. Beautiful production, performances and cast to match! A-

 Anastasia - Broadway - September 6, 2017 (NYCG8R's master) FORMAT:  VOB (no smalls) (SD) CAST: Christy Altomare (Anya), Derek Klena (Dmitry), Ramin Karimloo (Gleb Vaganov), John Bolton (Vlad Popov), Caroline O’Connor (Countess Lily Malevsky-Malevitch), Mary Beth Peil (Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna)

Anastasia - Broadway - March 31, 2019 (Matinee) (Closing Night) (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Christy Altomare (Anya), Cody Simpson (Dmitry), Constantine Germanacos (Gleb Vaganov), John Bolton (Vlad Popov), Vicki Lewis (Countess Lily Malevsky-Malevitch), Penny Fuller (Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna), Delilah Rose Pellow (Little Anastasia / Prince Alexei Romanov), Gail Bennett (Tsarina Alexandra), Tally Sessions (Tsar Nicholas II / Count Ipolitov), Allison Walsh (Olga Romanov), Shina Ann Morris (Tatiana Romanov / Dunya), Maria Briggs (Maria Romanov / Marfa), Molly Rushing (Young Anastasia / Paulina), Ken Krugman (Gorlinsky), Ken Krugman (Count Leopold), Allison Walsh (Odette in Swan Lake), Kyle Brown (Prince Siegfried in Swan Lake), Matt Wiercinski (Von Rothbart in Swan Lake), Wes Hart (Russian Doorman), Colby Dezelick, Janet Dickinson, Jennifer Smith, Justin Scott Brown

NOTES: Closing show! Or “rock concert” if you ask Christy Altomare. Yeah so this is a pretty obstructed video. Everyone was really excited so people were standing up, people were moving around, and honestly I had a little trouble paying attending to my viewfinder with all of the tears streaming down my face. Like Beetlejuice I would say it’s mostly like highlights, but all of the things that happen in the center part of the stage are captured really well and the video is DEFINITELY Christy centric. “Journey to the Past” is complete and gorgeous and you will cry. First act starts around when Anya meets Dmitry and the second act starts during “Crossing A Bridge.”

NOTES: Great capture of this wonderful touring company with no obstructions except for a head leaning into the frame for a second or two in Act One. Filmed with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups, and there’s only a couple instances of wandering after applause (limited to early in Act One) and no major dropouts.

NOTES: Unfortunately, one of the key scenes (approx. 2 minutes) in the end, right after „A simple thing (Reprise)“, is missing. The very last minute of the finale was captured though.

Anastasia - Stuttgart - February, 2019 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Alexandra Alexandrova (u/s Anya), Milan van Waardenburg (Dmitry), Mathias Edenborn (Gleb Vaganov), Thorsten Tinney (Vlad Popov), Jacqueline Braun (Countess Lily Malevsky-Malevitch), Daniela Ziegler (Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna)

Ann - Austin, TX - May 4-15, 2016 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  MKV (SD) CAST: Holland Taylor (Ann Richards), Julie White (Voice of Nancy Kohler)

NOTES: ANN is a no-holds-barred portrait of Ann Richards, the legendary governor of Texas. This inspiring and hilarious new play brings us face to face with a complex, colorful and captivating character bigger than the state from which she hailed. Written and performed by Emmy® Award winner Holland Taylor (“Two and a Half Men"), ANN takes a revealing look at the impassioned woman who enriched the lives of her followers, friends and family.

NOTES: Looks about how you’d expect for a video this old. Serious gen loss (both softness and rainbowing), decent but not great audio.

​ Annie - North Shore Music Theatre, Beverly MA - 2012 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  MKV (SD) CAST: Lauren Weintraub (Annie), Jacquelyn Piro Donovan (Miss Hannigan), Raymond Jaramillo McLeod (Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks), Jessica Tyler Wright (Grace Farrell)

NOTES: Pro-shot. Presented "in-the-round" by the North Shore Music Theatre. Filmed using one camera on a tripod with audio patched in from the sound board. The disc also includes a three minute highlights montage used for promotional purposes.

Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge - Kennedy Center (Washington DC) - December 23, 1989 FORMAT:  MKV (SD) CAST: Danielle Findley (Annie), Dorothy Loudon (Miss Hannigan), Harve Presnell (Oliver 'Daddy' Warbucks), Lauren Mitchell (Grace Farrell), Marian Seldes (Marietta Christmas), Terrence P Currier (Drake), Ronny Graham (Lionel McCoy), TJ Meyers (Babe Ruth), Raymond Thorne (F.D.R.), Scott Robertson (Charlie Spinoli)

NOTES: This first attempt at a sequel to Annie, Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge, opened at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. in December 1989 to universally disastrous reviews.
Extensive reworking of the script and score proved futile, and the project ended before officially reaching Broadway; newly surfaced video was filmed from the balcony. Shot between heads, and the balcony railing is visible, but not too bad-you still get a good feel for the show. Recorded at the second night performance. Some generational loss. B

Annie Get Your Gun - Broadway - 1999 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Bernadette Peters (Annie Oakley), Tom Wopat (Frank Butler), Valerie Wright (Dolly Tate), Peter Marx (Charlie Davenport)

NOTES: The footage is all over the place, the show IS NOT IN ORDER. Includes extra footage from dressing rooms, backstage and the wings. This footage seems to have been a shot by one of the cast or crew.

NOTES: Great audio and video, but the mic seems to get covered midway through the second act until the end of the recording, muting the audio quite severely.

Anything Goes - Second Broadway Revival - November 19, 2011 (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Stephanie J Block (Reno Sweeney), Colin Donnell (Billy Crocker), Erin Mackey (Hope Harcourt), Joel Grey (Moonface Martin), Adam Godley (Lord Evelyn Oakleigh), Kelly Bishop (Mrs. Evangeline Harcourt), John McMartin (Elisha J. Whitney), Jessica Stone (Erma)

NOTES: Stephanie makes a remarkable Reno with such a voice and quite different from Sutton. Everything is nicely captured here and includes the new replacements Erin and Jessica. The last four minutes, which is the end of the wedding are audio only. A

“From the Great Depression of the 1930s to the COVID crisis, the Billy Rose Theatre Division perseveres and preserves the greatest treasures of theatrical history,” said Doug Reside, the Lewis and Dorothy Cullman Curator of the Billy Rose Theatre Division. “As I look back on the last 90 years of our history, I’m struck by how our division has managed to document almost every aspect of the creative process and the people who bring theatre to life. I am so grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our first 90 years in such spectacular fashion, and to the theatre community for its support. As we plan for the next 90 years and beyond, my hope is that the collection continues to grow and flourish and reflect the diversity of voices that have shaped the theatre as we know it and are shaping its future.”

“The Billy Rose Theatre Division has served as the collective memory for our community by capturing the ephemeral nature of our unique art form. Until we can all experience the joy of live theater again, we are thrilled to look back into the archives to highlight theatrical masterpieces from their vast collection,” said producers Julie Boardman and Nolan Doran. “Our hope is to raise funds to ensure the archives remain accessible to future theatre makers for generations to come.”

The virtual benefit is produced and conceived by co-founder of the upcoming Museum of Broadway and four-time Tony nominee Julie Boardman (Company) and Co-Executive Producer of Broadway For Biden Nolan Doran (Head Over Heels), featuring direction by Steve Broadnax (Thoughts Of A Colored Man), Sammi Cannold(Endlings), Nick Corley (Plaza Suite), Grammy Award Winner Ty Defoe (Straight White Men), Drama Desk winner Lorin Latarro (Waitress), Mia Walker (Jagged Little Pill) and Tony Award winner Jason Michael Webb (Choir Boy), choreography by Ayodele Casel (Chasing Magic), Lorin Latarro and Ray Mercer (The Lion King), with new music arranged by ASCAP Award winner Rachel Dean (Medusa) and Annastasia Victory (A Wonderful World), with arrangements and orchestrations by Brian Usifer(Frozen).

A 90th anniversary benefit for the Library of the Performing Arts’ Billy Rose Theatre Division

By Deb Miller 

June 20, 2021

Last week, it was announced that multiple Tony Award-winning actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein, the son of a librarian, donated $2.5 million to The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, which will establish a new dedicated educational space in the building, named in his honor. The Harvey Fierstein Theatre Lab, for students and teachers from middle school through graduate school levels, will allow the Library to make new and innovative use of its extensive theater archives and collections by providing scholarly engagement, curricular and extracurricular experiences for students and teachers, and programming for lifelong learners.

In addition to his generous gift, the star has also named the Library for the Performing Arts a beneficiary of the Harvey Fierstein Trust, which will provide the iconic institution with additional support in the future. And, on the evening of Wednesday, June 23, beginning at 8 pm, as part of the virtual benefit I’m Still Here: A Celebration of the Billy Rose Theatre Division, he will help the Library celebrate that department’s 90th birthday.

The online pay-what-you-can fundraiser, honoring producer/director Harold Prince and playwright/director George C. Wolfe, will offer a rare opportunity to view never-before-seen clips from the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive (TOFT, now celebrating its 50th anniversary), interviews with Broadway legends and emerging creatives, and reconceived performances of classic musical theater show tunes, including Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk, In the Heights, The Mountaintop, Ragtime, The Seagull, Spamalot, and Sunset Boulevard. Funds raised by the event will allow the TOFT Archive to capture Broadway and Off-Broadway shows coming out of this historic pandemic shutdown, and to ensure that the Division’s vast collection of historic theatrical negatives are digitized before they erode.

Produced and conceived by Julie Boardman and Nolan Doran (with direction by Steve Broadnax, Sammi Cannold, Nick Corley, Ty Defoe, Lorin Latarro, Mia Walker, and Jason Michael Webb; choreography by Ayodele Casel, Lorin Latarro, Ray Mercer, and Travis Waldschmidt; music direction by Rachel Dean; new arrangements by Rachel Dean, Brian Usifer, and Annastasia Victory; and orchestrations by Brian Usifer), the show will feature archival performances by Angela Bassett, Craig Bierko, Christian Borle, Andrea Burns, Glenn Close, Tim Curry, Robin de Jesús, Christine Ebersole, Rupert Everett, Savion Glover, Marcia Gay Harden, Christopher Jackson, Samuel L. Jackson, Angela Lansbury, Rebecca Luker, Bette Midler, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Kelli O’Hara, Karen Olivo, Meryl Streep, Paulo Szot, and more.

Block, Alex Brightman, Matthew Broderick, Jason Robert Brown, Krystal Joy Brown, David Burtka, Sammi Cannold, Ayodele Casel, Kirsten Childs, Antonio Cipriano, Victoria Clark, Max Clayton, Calvin L.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our first 90 years in such spectacular fashion, and to the theatre community for its support. As we plan for the next 90 years and beyond, my hope is that the collection continues to grow and flourish and reflect the diversity of voices that have shaped the theatre as we know it and are shaping its future.” “The Billy Rose Theatre Division has served as the collective memory for our community by capturing the ephemeral nature of our unique art form. Until we can all experience the joy of live theatre again, we are thrilled to look back into the archives to highlight theatrical masterpieces from their vast collection,” added producers Julie Boardman and Nolan Doran. “Our hope is to raise funds to ensure the archives remain accessible to future theatre makers for generations to come.”

The virtual benefit is produced and conceived by Boardman and Doran and features direction by Steve Broadnax, Sammi Cannold, Nick Corley, Ty Defoe, Lorin Latarro, Mia Walker, and Jason Michael Webb, choreography by Ayodele Casel, Latarro, and Ray Mercer, with new music arranged by Rachel Dean and Annastasia Victory, arrangements and orchestrations by Brian Usifer, and casting by Peter Van Dam at Tara Rubin Casting.

Tickets are donate-what-you-can, with a recommendation of at least $19.31 in honor of the year the division was founded. Visit StillHereat90.com
