Metamorphoses (10 apr 2002. Broadway. Anjali Bhimani, Raymond Fox, Kyle Hall, Doug Hara, Felicity Jones, Chris Kipiniak, Louise Lamson, Erick Lochtefeld, Mariann Mayberry, Lisa Tejero. A fantastic show captured pretty well. There's a head that occasionally gets in the way, and there is a lot of noise from moving the camera, but you still get everything from the show. What a brilliant production! B+)
Metropolis (1989. London. Cast: Judy Kuhn, Brian Blessed, Graham Bickley, Jonathan Adams, Paul Keown, Stifyn Parri, Lindsey Danvers, Colin Fay. Sound is OK if not a bit crackly, but the video suffers from massive generation loss. There's a constant wall of noise and the colour is minimal and best and mostly lacking. Plenty of head. Possibly two shows cut together to include close-ups as this is mostly in wide shot. The noise intensity and type changes when this happens so it's a good theory. Quality: B-/C+)

Minsky's (22 feb 2009. Los Angeles, CA. Cast: Christopher Fitzgerald, Katharine Leonard, Beth Leavel, George Wendt, John Cariani, Rachel Dratch, Kevin Cahoon, Gerry Vichi, Paul Vogt.
