Cabaret
-Broadway 3.29.03 Cast: Neil Patrick Harris, Deborah Gibson, Tom Bosley, Mariette Hartley. The video quality is not the best: the angle appears to be lopsided at some points and there's a weird error about 10 minutes into the show, although this problem last for seconds it is still annoying. The audio is decent. B

I have yet to review this for quality. This video is wonderful. The quality is superb. The video angle stays mostly wide so you can see all of the actors onstage at once which is most wonderful. It also includes press/interview reels. A

-Broadway Pro-Shot Bernadette Peters, Tom Aldredge, Chip Zien, Joanna Gleason, Kim Crosby, Ben Wright, Danielle Ferland, and Original Broadway Cast. Great video. A+
-Broadway Revival 4.13.02 Vanessa Williams, John McMartin, Laura Benanti, and Revival Cast. Has lots of generation loss, fuzziness around the edges. Great zooms and exceptional audio. I also have this in online video format. I recommend the OBC pro shot. B.

-Benny Tour, LA 1.9.98 Cast: Neil Patrick Harris, Owen Johnston II, Julia Santana, Mark Leroy Jackson, Andy Senor, Kenna J. Ramsey, Carla Bianco. So this video's quality is pretty dreadful. The person controlling the camera has a bad habit of aiming the camera at the ceiling, jumping to the action every now and then. This video is only highlights and the songs it does feature, it rarely zooms in or even aims at the actors on stage. This clears up about halfway through the first act. C+
