42nd Street - American Musical Theatre Of San Jose - January, 1995 (Pro-Shot's master)
FORMAT:  MP4 (SD)

42nd Street - UK Tour - 1997 (House-Cam's master)
FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Bonnie Langford (Peggy Sawyer)

NOTES: 42ndBoulevard says: This is definitely not the 2006 UK Tour, in an interview with Bonnie Langford, she recalls being in a national tour of 42nd Street when she was 23, that would make this performance from 1997. This performance also uses the old-style 1980 broadway set and costumes which is totally different from the newer style staging used for all national tours after the broadway revival in 2001. Recorded through the House camera with some static at bottom of screen, and some generational loss. B+

42nd Street - Broadway Revival - April 21, 2001 (Preview)
FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Michael Cumpsty (Julian Marsh), Beth Leavel (s/b Dorothy Brock), Ericka Hunter

NOTES: Preview. Filmed from balcony and a lot of closeups and mediums. Clear audio, but a little static (barely noticeable). A lot of traders mis-identify Dorthy as Christine Ebersole but she sported a blonde wig in her run whereas the Dorothy in this has a brunette wig and looks more like Beth Leavel. Similarly Maggie Jones in this video is Mary Testa, you can tell from her face and build. A-

42nd Street - Asian Tour - September, 2007 (House-Cam's master)
FORMAT:  MP4 (HD)
CAST: Kristen Martin (Peggy), Paul Gregory Nelson (Julian), Natalie Buster (Dorothy), Charles MacEachern (Billy), Veronica DiPerna (Annie), Chris Clay (Andy), Ira Denmark (Bert), Karen McDonald (Maggie), Rockford Sansom (Pat), Julie Rees (Phyllis), Lani Corson (Lorraine), Rob Ouellette (Oscar)

NOTES: You can't make out the actor's faces. The sound is very clear and fed from the soundboard, but the tap sounds get watered out. It seems this particular performance is cursed with little mishaps here and there. Billy drops his walking stick a few seconds after his appearance when the mirror sequence finishes. A chorus member also slips during we're in the money. The ensemble who form into a circle for the mirror sequence form the circle on the right side of the stage (a foot way from the middle) but they move back into the middle a seconds later. The spotlighting on the actors is also very crude, sometimes they lag behind the actor's movements and don't follow them accurately.

NOTES: A fantastic capture of the current tour. The ensemble is the standout here; the dance numbers are absolutely incredible. There is no obstruction, just one quick dropout in act one, and only some slight washout in a few of the wider shots. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call, finale, and playbill scans.
