Cast: Melody Adams (s/w Roxie Hart), Kristen Childs (u/s Velma Kelly), Jerry Orbach (Billy Flynn), Rex Everhart (Amos Hart), Edye Byrde (Matron "Mama" Morton)
* One of the few copies of the Bob Fosse staging instead of the concert presentation. It's an older video but still wonderful to watch even with some major generation loss. C
Chicago | London | 1980 | Housecam | VOB + smalls
Cast: Elisabeth Seal (Roxie Hart), Antonia Ellis (Velma Kelly), Colin Bennett (Billy Flynn), Don Fellows (Amos Hart), Hope Jackman (Mama Morton)
* Black and white house cam recording is a mixed bag. It often looks like it was recorded off a screen as opposed to a direct transfer. Quite a lot of generation loss and tracking issues interfere at times, particularly towards the end. Regardless it’s fascinating to watch.
Chicago | San José Civic Light Opera | January 1988 | Proshot | VOB + smalls

* Audience shot, much generation loss, good sound, problems with the video at the end. Re-creation of Bob Fosse's original staging. Features the original scenic design from 1975. Directed by Rob Marshall (who later directed the movie adaption of this musical) with choreography by Ann Reinking (in the style of Bob Fosse). Highly recommended for fans of 'Chicago'.

Cast: Ann Reinking (Roxie Hart), Bebe Neuwirth (Velma Kelly), James Naughton (Billy Flynn), Joel Grey (Amos Hart), Marcia Lewis (Matron "Mama" Morton), D Sabella (Mary Sunshine)
* Almost the full show (2 hours and 7 minutes). Usually referred to as Press Reels, this is actually the unedited footage shot for press or archival purposes. Decent amount on generation loss with some distortion at the top of the screen, and a time code at the bottom. Sometimes incorrectly labeled as 1995.

Cast: Bianca Marroquin (Roxie Hart), Brenda Braxton (Velma Kelly), Usher (Billy Flynn), Rob Bartlett (Amos Hart), Roz Ryan (Matron 'Mama' Morton), R. Lowe (Mary Sunshine)
* Only video with Usher playing Billy Flynn. Act I is almost entirely either the ceiling of the theatre or just black screen. Act II improves slightly (there's a picture) but it was filmed from the side and it's mostly a full stage shot. This is better to be enjoyed for the audio.
Chicago | Fourth National Tour | 12 May 2007 | VOB + smalls

* Last show in Stuttgart before the show transfered to Berlin. Last show for Lana Gordon and many of the ensemble members. Camshot with some head obstructions and shaking. Mostly focused on Ross McDermott which is a shame because a lot of the main action is not captured. The overture, the entr'acte and the finale are missing.

* Brandy gives a phenomenal performance with powerful vocals, and the audience is very supportive of her. This has some significant blackouts, but is very well-captured when there is video. Blackouts include: about half of All That Jazz; all of When You’re Good to Mama, Tap Dance, and All I Care About; about half of the finale. There is no washout. There is one head that can occasionally be seen but never blocks the action. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes playbill scans.

* Filmed vertically from the left front mezzanine from my iPhone 12. Complete Act 1, first 12 minutes of Act 2. My phone ran out of storage. Head dodging in the first act, but pretty clear. The quality isn't too great. Decent washout, but not bad. Please don't list actual date.

* Pamela Anderson's first performance as Roxie, first return performance for Lana Gordon and Ryan Silverman. External audio. Act 1 filmed with usual method, but a lot of obstruction especially on the right side, last 10-ish minutes of Act 1 are audio only; Act 2 filmed with different method and even more obstruction, a fair amount of wandering at times. Cropped in post-editing. Not a great video, but what is there isn't bad, and gives a decent glimpse of Pamela Anderson's very first performance.

* Filmed in 4K, released in 1080p and 4K. What was supposed to be Emma Pittman’s final show of her first run until she extended. Fun understudy combos! Missing video (audio only) during most of Mr. Cellophane and When Velma Takes the Stand (about 5 1/2 minutes). Occasional head can be seen in some wider shots, but does not block anything.

Rembert (Martin Harrison), Rachel Schur (Annie), Michael Scirrotto (Hary/The Jury), Christine Cornish Smith (Hunyak)
* Good 4K capture of Emma Pittman’s very limited run as Roxie. There were several moments of blackouts, wandering, etc as ushers were active, primarily in scene transitions. There is also some minor obstruction in the form of a head at the bottom of the stage, and occasionally the master’s covering. Spotlight washout is fairly frequent but rarely obscures a character’s face. Includes curtain call and most of the entr’acte, audio is fed from external source.

Shot around heads, with Act 2 having less significant obstructions. Video starts partway through 'All That Jazz'; 2 brief dropouts in Act 2, and some washout and wandering at points throughout.

Rembert (Martin Harrison), Denny Paschall (Aaron), Drew Nellessen (The Judge, Court Clerk)
* Great 4K capture of Angelica Ross’s limited run as Roxie! There are small obstructions when characters are sitting or laying down, and more wandering than usual due to usher vigilance. Starting near the end of “Me and My Baby” to the beginning of “Mister Cellophane,” there is a blackout due to somebody moving in front of the master and obstructing the view. Includes most of curtain call, audio is fed from external source.

Cast: Melody Adams (s/w Roxie Hart), Kristen Childs (u/s Velma Kelly), Jerry Orbach (Billy Flynn), Rex Everhart (Amos Hart), Edye Byrde (Matron "Mama" Morton)
* One of the few copies of the Bob Fosse staging instead of the concert presentation. It's an older video but still wonderful to watch even with some major generation loss. C
Chicago | London | 1980 | Housecam | VOB + smalls
Cast: Elisabeth Seal (Roxie Hart), Antonia Ellis (Velma Kelly), Colin Bennett (Billy Flynn), Don Fellows (Amos Hart), Hope Jackman (Mama Morton)
* Black and white house cam recording is a mixed bag. It often looks like it was recorded off a screen as opposed to a direct transfer. Quite a lot of generation loss and tracking issues interfere at times, particularly towards the end. Regardless it’s fascinating to watch.

* Audience shot, much generation loss, good sound, problems with the video at the end. Re-creation of Bob Fosse's original staging. Features the original scenic design from 1975. Directed by Rob Marshall (who later directed the movie adaption of this musical) with choreography by Ann Reinking (in the style of Bob Fosse). Highly recommended for fans of 'Chicago'.

Cast: Ann Reinking (Roxie Hart), Bebe Neuwirth (Velma Kelly), James Naughton (Billy Flynn), Joel Grey (Amos Hart), Marcia Lewis (Matron "Mama" Morton), D Sabella (Mary Sunshine)
* Almost the full show (2 hours and 7 minutes). Usually referred to as Press Reels, this is actually the unedited footage shot for press or archival purposes. Decent amount on generation loss with some distortion at the top of the screen, and a time code at the bottom. Sometimes incorrectly labeled as 1995.

Cast: Bianca Marroquin (Roxie Hart), Brenda Braxton (Velma Kelly), Usher (Billy Flynn), Rob Bartlett (Amos Hart), Roz Ryan (Matron 'Mama' Morton), R. Lowe (Mary Sunshine)
* Only video with Usher playing Billy Flynn. Act I is almost entirely either the ceiling of the theatre or just black screen. Act II improves slightly (there's a picture) but it was filmed from the side and it's mostly a full stage shot. This is better to be enjoyed for the audio.
Chicago | Fourth National Tour | 12 May 2007 | VOB + smalls

* Last show in Stuttgart before the show transfered to Berlin. Last show for Lana Gordon and many of the ensemble members. Camshot with some head obstructions and shaking. Mostly focused on Ross McDermott which is a shame because a lot of the main action is not captured. The overture, the entr'acte and the finale are missing.

* Brandy gives a phenomenal performance with powerful vocals, and the audience is very supportive of her. This has some significant blackouts, but is very well-captured when there is video. Blackouts include: about half of All That Jazz; all of When You’re Good to Mama, Tap Dance, and All I Care About; about half of the finale. There is no washout. There is one head that can occasionally be seen but never blocks the action. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes playbill scans.

* Filmed vertically from the left front mezzanine from my iPhone 12. Complete Act 1, first 12 minutes of Act 2. My phone ran out of storage. Head dodging in the first act, but pretty clear. The quality isn't too great. Decent washout, but not bad. Please don't list actual date.

* Pamela Anderson's first performance as Roxie, first return performance for Lana Gordon and Ryan Silverman. External audio. Act 1 filmed with usual method, but a lot of obstruction especially on the right side, last 10-ish minutes of Act 1 are audio only; Act 2 filmed with different method and even more obstruction, a fair amount of wandering at times. Cropped in post-editing. Not a great video, but what is there isn't bad, and gives a decent glimpse of Pamela Anderson's very first performance.

Missing video (audio only) during most of Mr. Cellophane and When Velma Takes the Stand (about 5 1/2 minutes). Occasional head can be seen in some wider shots, but does not block anything.

Rembert (Martin Harrison), Rachel Schur (Annie), Michael Scirrotto (Hary/The Jury), Christine Cornish Smith (Hunyak)
* Good 4K capture of Emma Pittman’s very limited run as Roxie. There were several moments of blackouts, wandering, etc as ushers were active, primarily in scene transitions. There is also some minor obstruction in the form of a head at the bottom of the stage, and occasionally the master’s covering. Spotlight washout is fairly frequent but rarely obscures a character’s face. Includes curtain call and most of the entr’acte, audio is fed from external source.

Shot around heads, with Act 2 having less significant obstructions. Video starts partway through 'All That Jazz'; 2 brief dropouts in Act 2, and some washout and wandering at points throughout.

Rembert (Martin Harrison), Denny Paschall (Aaron), Drew Nellessen (The Judge, Court Clerk)
* Great 4K capture of Angelica Ross’s limited run as Roxie! There are small obstructions when characters are sitting or laying down, and more wandering than usual due to usher vigilance. Starting near the end of “Me and My Baby” to the beginning of “Mister Cellophane,” there is a blackout due to somebody moving in front of the master and obstructing the view. Includes most of curtain call, audio is fed from external source.
