Bootleg Concerts/Other
Bombshell: In Concert
Date: June 8, 2015 | Minskoff Theatre | VOB Cast: Megan Hilty, Katharine McPhee, Christian Borle, Jeremy Jordan, Will Chase, Brian d'Arcy James, Debra Messing, Leslie Odom Jr., Ripley Sobo Notes: A concert version of the songs from Bombshell, the musical written for the television show, Smash. This is not the full concert, just the songs. There are a lot of heads obstructing the views, and the camera is very shaky and out of focus. A few close-ups, but a lot of spotlight washout.
A Sondheim Evening
Date: November 20, 1994 | The Russian Tea Room, New York | VOB Cast: Marin Mazzie, Scott Burkell, Claiborne Cary Notes: Intimate concert of Stephen Sondheim songs at The Russian Tea Room in New York City. Other people have listed this video as proshot footage, but this video is filmed (well) from the audience.

Date: 1975 | Film | MP4 Cast: Glenda Jackson, Peter Eyre, Timothy West, Jennie Linden, Patrick Stewart, Constance Chapman, Pam St. Clement Notes: The name of the film is actually HEDDA. It's adapted from the stage version produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, with mostly the same cast, and it's the first feature film directed by Trevor Nunn.
Pippin
Date: 1981 | MP4 Cast: Ben Vereen,William Katt, Chita Rivera, Martha Raye Notes: This is a copy of Bob Fosse's own video which he edited and returned back to the producers. It is longer than the commercial video and Fosse chose many, many different angles, and different takes. This was his suggestion for how the show should be edited, but most of his suggestions were ignored. The show itself was not staged by Fosse, but by his associate, Kathryn Doby, based on his original Broadway staging. It is rumored that Fosse was not happy with the video that was released, preferring this edit better, and very unhappy that his suggestions were not utilized. Has counter numbers along the bottom of the screen. Some generational loss.
The Rivals
Date: June 5, 1988 | BBC 2, Theatre Night | MP4 Cast: Donald Sinden, Sheila Hancock, Michael Maloney; Patrick Ryecart, Amanda Redman, Ronald Pickup, Suzanne Burden Notes: Theatre Night is the umbrella title under which adaptations of classic and contemporary stage plays were usually broadcast on BBC 2 between 15 September 1985 and 21 July 1990. This production was not filmed in front of an audience, it is a filmed version of the play.
