Broadway | November 16, 1997 | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Jason Raize (Simba), Heather Headley (Nala), John Vickery (Scar), Tsidii Le Loka (Rafiki), Max Casella (Timon), Tom Alan Robbins (Pumbaa), Geoff Hoyle (Zazu), Stanley Wayne Mathis (Banzai), Kevin Cahoon (Ed) Notes: Filmed RIGHT after opening night on Broadway when the show was still fresh. Shot from one of the boxes, resulting in an extreme angle (think near-perpendicular) so you can see into the wings and watch the actors slacking. Sound is great and it’s very well shot for a vid of its age though there is a touch of gen loss. Circle of Life is near perfect despite a little bit of washout. |

Spotlight washout and picture is watery. Don't know why videos of this show are so hard to come by, but it's nice to see another one out there in circulation. |

Rafiki Tour (4NT) | February 2024 | MTTZ's Master | MP4

Extremely poorly shot for obvious blindshot reasons, act 1 is available as shot or edited and artificially zoomed in to attempt to keep things in view, while act 2 is unedited. Audio is fantastic, but the video leaves a ton to be desired, with plenty of wandering and a large amount of washout; lots of it just straight up has no action captured. It's not good at all, but it certainly exists, and the parts that do capture action actually get more than I expected. Plenty of obstruction by heads and a couple of dropouts. Do not list with a specific date. List as MTTZ's master. NFS. NFT Until April 5, 2024 |
