Beauty and the Beast
10/15/06 ~ Broadway (Highlights)
Steve Blanchard, Sarah Uriarte Berry, Donny Osmond, Jamie Ross, Stuart Marland, Christopher Duva, Jeanne Lehman, Meredith Inglesby.
About an hour and a half of highlights of the show when Donny joined the cast as Gaston. Act II is almost complete and there is about a half hour of Act I. Sarah gives an amazing 'Change in Me'. Great picture and sound quality. A
Beauty and the Beast
7/27/07 ~ Broadway
Steve Blanchard, Anneliese van der Pol, Chris Hoch, David deVries, Jeanne Lehman, Glenn Rainey, Jamie Ross, Trevor Braun, Aldrin Gonzalez, Ann Mandrella.
Good amount of closeups and good quality filmed from the mid-mezzanine; there is a railing issue for a while in Act 1 but the taper improves. 'Me', 'Gaston' and 'Be Our Guest' are all predominantly missing and recording stopped for some time after 'Gaston', which created a little jump in the timeline to where Maurice gets thrown out of the tavern. Still a nice video with great closeups of the last Broadway cast. B+
