Phantom of the Opera (4/1988) Broadway
Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Steve Barton & OBC
The audio is very good quality (considering the age of this recording). This is a great performance, however the picture is quite dark and there are not many close close-ups. There are a few jumps and some entire scenes cut out such as Magical Lasso. There is a jump from end of Prima Donna to Il Muto and also from The Phantom's exit in Masquerade to the 2nd Notes scene. The "Before the Premiere" scene is also cut, when it jumps from the end of the Graveyard scene to Don Juan. There is also a minute or two jump between the Labyrinth scene to Beyond the Lake. About 85% complete. C

Prettybelle (1982) New York
Angela Landsbury. In 1974 this extremely controversial show struggled for many months in Boston, only to close before ever making it to Broadway.
