* Two days before the show closed on Broadway. 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.

* Filmed during the first week. Closer and includes almost the whole show, but the recording is lower quality and the camera is shaky. Still, I don't think it's a bad boot if I say so myself! The video starts around 3 mins in (after the announcement), so don't be alarmed if there's a black screen at first.
Beauty and the Beast | UK Tour (Bristol) | August 2021 (2) | notjustthespongenextdoor | MP4 (HD) 11.13gb

* Filmed during the first week. Higher quality but has some significant blackouts. It's farther away and still a little bit shaky, but I think the wide angle gives a great sense of what the whole set looks like. It's a good recording but missing about ~15 mins of the show overall. The video starts around 5 minutes in on the first act and 10 minutes in on the second. Sorry, I was having camera troubles.

* Great wide-shot phone boot of this incredible production from Olney Theatre. A few scenes are a little dark, and tiny bit is missed only on the far right side of the stage (nothing more than about 20 seconds). This cast is absolute fire, and deserves all the accolades and attention they've gotten from national publications. The inclusion of a large, Black woman playing Belle and having a Beast played by a man with a pegleg without caricature is truly inspiring. The set and costumes are so imaginative and every minute of this show is just a joy. Includes audio (tracked and untracked), and digital program.

* My first video (and it shows). Act 1 starts near the end of the prologue, and is just a washed out stage shot until I kind of started to figure out what I was doing about 12 minutes in, but still lots of spotlight washout and only occasional zooms. Act 2 is all there and slightly better. A fair amount of wandering or shaking as well because I am bad at holding still and was also nervous, also because a lot of this was blind-shot (this is also why a lot of it is tilted and often half the screen is black oops). The bottom right of the stage is unfortunately partially obstructed by a railing. A few complete blackouts when I needed to adjust, during applause, or when people are leaving to or returning from the bathroom, but nothing longer than ~30 seconds. It’s not total garbage, but it’s not great either.

* Act 1 only! Nice 4K capture of Grace as Belle. Questionable quality for the first 10 minutes, but improves after and is generally shot well with fairly minimal wandering and obstructions. I accidentally stopped recording twice, but it misses less than 2 minutes of footage overall.

* Good capture of the tour's first week in London! Very little obstruction throughout, a few brief dropouts due to hypervigilant ushers but complete video otherwise. Much of the transformation sequence at the end is blindshot and so some parts are missed.

* Decent wide-shot phone boot from the balcony. Soft focus. A bit of washout on the bight scenes. Dark scenes harder to make out. Excellent performances from all involved.

* Two days before the show closed on Broadway. 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.

* Filmed during the first week. Closer and includes almost the whole show, but the recording is lower quality and the camera is shaky. Still, I don't think it's a bad boot if I say so myself! The video starts around 3 mins in (after the announcement), so don't be alarmed if there's a black screen at first.
Beauty and the Beast | UK Tour (Bristol) | August 2021 (2) | notjustthespongenextdoor | MP4 (HD) 11.13gb

* Filmed during the first week. Higher quality but has some significant blackouts. It's farther away and still a little bit shaky, but I think the wide angle gives a great sense of what the whole set looks like. It's a good recording but missing about ~15 mins of the show overall. The video starts around 5 minutes in on the first act and 10 minutes in on the second. Sorry, I was having camera troubles.

* Great wide-shot phone boot of this incredible production from Olney Theatre. A few scenes are a little dark, and tiny bit is missed only on the far right side of the stage (nothing more than about 20 seconds). This cast is absolute fire, and deserves all the accolades and attention they've gotten from national publications. The inclusion of a large, Black woman playing Belle and having a Beast played by a man with a pegleg without caricature is truly inspiring. The set and costumes are so imaginative and every minute of this show is just a joy. Includes audio (tracked and untracked), and digital program.

* My first video (and it shows). Act 1 starts near the end of the prologue, and is just a washed out stage shot until I kind of started to figure out what I was doing about 12 minutes in, but still lots of spotlight washout and only occasional zooms. Act 2 is all there and slightly better. A fair amount of wandering or shaking as well because I am bad at holding still and was also nervous, also because a lot of this was blind-shot (this is also why a lot of it is tilted and often half the screen is black oops). The bottom right of the stage is unfortunately partially obstructed by a railing. A few complete blackouts when I needed to adjust, during applause, or when people are leaving to or returning from the bathroom, but nothing longer than ~30 seconds. It’s not total garbage, but it’s not great either.

* Act 1 only! Nice 4K capture of Grace as Belle. Questionable quality for the first 10 minutes, but improves after and is generally shot well with fairly minimal wandering and obstructions. I accidentally stopped recording twice, but it misses less than 2 minutes of footage overall.

* Good capture of the tour's first week in London! Very little obstruction throughout, a few brief dropouts due to hypervigilant ushers but complete video otherwise. Much of the transformation sequence at the end is blindshot and so some parts are missed.

* Decent wide-shot phone boot from the balcony. Soft focus. A bit of washout on the bight scenes. Dark scenes harder to make out. Excellent performances from all involved.
