Broadway | March 9, 1999 | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Bryan Batt (s/b Sir Percy Blakeney), Rachel York (Marguerite St Just), Rex Smith (Chauvelin) Notes: Nice view of the stage.There are some close-ups. Sound is very good, but the color gets a little screwy beginning during the spelling scene, but it does clear up for Act II. Good video. 2nd generation video |

Cast: Douglas Sills (Sir Percy Blakeney), Amy Bodnar (Marguerite St Just), William Michals (Chauvelin) Notes: First generation video.
