1988, Date Unk. London Martin Smith (u/s), Ron Callagher, Jayne Draper, Maurice Clark (u/s Marius), Kathleen Roure McAllen Pro-shot. Begins with pre-show announcements. Surprisingly good for its age – obviously originally analog, but looks like a house monitor – NO shakiness but no zooms, and dark in many places. Pretty good transfer too. I think this is one that has been hidden for awhile, because I haven’t seen it on any lists till now. DVD (B+)

2006, May 6th London Tim Godwin (u/s), Cornell John, Kerry Ellis, Hayden Tee, Amanda Jane-Callaghan (u/s), Julia Moller, Nolan Dark (u/s), Barry James, Tracie Bennett 1st Gen. Taper says: “First released video of the current (lovely) cast. Good video with some incredible understudies. IMO, Amanda and Nolan are better than the principles and Tim sounds uncannily like JOJ (Home Counties accent not-withstanding). About half of the Chain Gang song missing and filming starts in earnest during Valjean on parole. Other parts missed because of evil ushers include several random one-second cover-ups, part of the wedding and about half of Finale. Heads in the way sometimes block the action on the lower right of the stage, but they are shot around well. Vantage point provides some interesting views such as Fantine getting “whored-up” during Lovely Ladies. Wonderful performances from the entire cast but especially soon-to-be-Elphaba Kerry.” NTSC DVD (A-)
