Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Brian d'Arcy James (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Asa Somers (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Master's notes: This is not a great DVD by any means; I was sitting there, producers were behind me, as well as Matthew Scott and Jacqui Polk in front of me, ushers on either sight lines behind me. I held the camera to my chest for the entire show and caught whatever I could. It is blind shot, so there is absolutely no zooms. First video of the original Off-Broadway run. |

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Brian d'Arcy James (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Corey Boardman (u/s Henry), Asa Somers (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Spectacular production with stellar music. Alice gives the performance of her career. A few cover-up's and a tiny bit shaky in the beginning. Some action downstage left is missing due to heads in the way throughout the show. Beautiful close ups and the first five minutes of act two is missing. Vertical capture of the only understudy filmed during the show's original Off-Broadway run. |

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Brian d'Arcy James (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Asa Somers (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Includes Costco and is from before show cut/fix. Sometimes mislabeled as March 3, 2008. |

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Brian d'Arcy James (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Asa Somers (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Master's notes: This includes Alice's flip out in the beginning to replace all the Costco stuff. It was a fantastic show and an even better video than my previous 3/1/08 master. I shot it in a different style to showcase more of the stage (since you can only stare at someones face for so long). Really emotional times in the theatre and you can hear sniffles in the camera. Recorded three days before the show was closed and rewritten. |

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), J Robert Spencer (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Excellent rare capture of the Pre-Broadway D.C. run. This is when the show finally found focus, took shape and fell into place. |

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Jenn Damiano (Natalie), Louis Hobson (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry) Notes: There was a pole in the way of the capturer. It is filmed around as much as possible. |

Broadway | Preview | April 10, 2009 | SunsetBlvd79's Master | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), J Robert Spencer (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Beautiful capture of the full original cast, from the orchestra. This hands down is the best capture of the original cast. This was done early in Alice's run, before she had strained her voice. |
Broadway | June 9, 2009 | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (t/r Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: The first show after the 2009 Tony Awards. Looks like it was filmed very close to the stage, so it's at an odd angle and filmed between heads. |
Broadway | March 18, 2010 | juniper47's Master | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Jessica Phillips (s/b Diana), J Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Filmed in 16:9 widescreen. Act One has a few minor obstructions from a head on the lower edge of the screen, but they are brief and was shot around as best as possible. Moved for Act Two and had zero obstructions. About 30 seconds to a minute or so of blackouts at the start of each act, otherwise complete. Mix of medium and close zooms, depending on the action in the scene. A few instances in the audio where there is cell phone interference, but it should not be terribly distracting. |

1NT | St. Paul, MN | May 8, 2011 | SunsetBlvd79's Master | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Jason Watson (u/s Dan), Curt Hansen (Gabe), Emma Hunton (Natalie), Preston Sadleir (Henry), Jeremy Kushnier (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: This video is filmed from the center of the theater and has many mid-stage shots (with no spotlight washout at all), so many times it feels like watching a pro-shot. Plus, there are many close-ups when necessary. Overall, a great video, especially for those who are not familiar with the show |
1NT | Cleveland, OH | June 14, 2011 | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Asa Somers (Dan), Perry Sherman (u/s Gabe), Emma Hunton (Natalie), Preston Sadleir (Henry), Jeremy Kushnier (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Almost a full video, missing a few parts here and there. Very Perry-focused when he is on stage, camera wandering at times. |
Pioneer Theater | Salt Lake City | October 1, 2011 | juniper47's Master | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Judy McLane (Diana), Jonathan Rayson (Dan), Matt Dengler (Gabe), Ephie Aardema (Natalie), Alex Brightman (Henry), Ben Crawford (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Filmed in 16:9 widescreen. No obstructions, only one blackout in Act One due to late-comers, and a very brief one in Act Two due to a glitch in the video that had to get cut out. Steady filming with a good mix of close-ups and medium zooms for ensemble action on the very large set. External audio fed in from MD source so it is clear. Closing night. |
Arizona Theatre Company/San Jose Repertory | January 29, 2013 | juniper47's Master | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Kendra Kassebaum (Diana), Joe Cassidy (Dan), Jonathan Shew (Gabe), Andrea Ross (Natalie), A.J. Holmes (Henry), Mark Farrell (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Shot in 16:9 widescreen, a tad dark in some low-light scenes, but no obstructions at all. One brief blackout for the first minute of "Why Stay?" when a battery change was necessary. But also included (at the end of the DVD) is a clip of "Why Stay?" shot in its entirety from 2 days prior to make up for that. Quick drop-outs for applause. Also, the angle where my seat was weird, so there's slight tilt in the video. Audio fed in from external source, so the audio is nice and clear. |
Weston Playhouse | July 27, 2013 | juniper47's Master | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Heidi Blickenstaff (Diana), Aaron Ramey (Dan), Dan DeLuca (Gabe), Margo Seibert (Natalie), Etai Benson (Henry), David Ayers (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Filmed in 16:9 widescreen, SD. Had to film around a couple of tall people in front of the master, so a few minor obstructions when action was at the far sides of the stage, but worked around as best as possible. Lighting was also very dark at times, but was brightened a bit in post-editing. NO PART OF THIS VIDEO IS EVER TO BE POSTED/SHARED/GIFTED ANYWHERE ONLINE including but not limited to YouTube, Tumblr, Vimeo, Reddit, etc. |

Cast: Pia Douwes (Diana), Thomas Borchert (Dan), Dirk Johnston (Gabe), Sabrina Weckerlin (Natalie), Dominik Hees (Henry), Ramin Dustdar (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Evening performance (not matinee as previously thought, as confirmed by master). Starts at 'Everything Else' due to latecomers. |

Cast: Natalie O'Donnell (Diana), Anthony Harkin (Dan), Brent Trotter (Gabe), Kiane O'Farrell (Natalie), Clay Roberts (Henry), Alex Rathgeber (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Originally filmed in portrait view then rotated to the right when the file was being exported. Roughly 20 minutes of highlights from the prelude to halfway through Perfect For You. |
TheatreWorks | Hartford | May 2017 | MP4
Cast: Christiane Noll (Diana), David Harris (Dan), John Cardoza (Gabe), Maya Keleher (Natalie), Nick Sacks (Henry), JD Daw (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Beautiful multicam proshot archive for theatre.

Cast: Stephanie Likes (Diana), Caleb Reese (Dan), Casey Likes (Gabe), Nora Palermo (Natalie), Ethan Drew (Henry), Bob Sorenson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Some zoomed out shots due to being a total blindshot. Final note of the show was cut off a bit because of house lights coming up. Loud static in audio first . Head in the left corner causes some obstruction. Show starts at ~4 minutes in. First few minutes of the show occasionally have a static noise that briefly muffles the audio. |

Cast: Caissie Levy (Diana), Jamie Parker (Dan), Jack Wolfe (Gabe), Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Natalie), Jack Ofrecio (Henry), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Lovely capture of this long awaited show shortly into its run! Act 2 starts a minute in but full capture otherwise. |

Cast: Caissie Levy (Diana), Jamie Parker (Dan), Jack Wolfe (Gabe), Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Natalie), Jack Ofrecio (Henry), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Partial 4K capture of this production's second preview.
