Caissie Levy (Diana), Jamie Parker (Dan), Jack Wolfe (Gabe), Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Natalie), Jack Ofrecio (Henry), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Dr. Fine Madden) Notes: Fantastic capture of this incredible West End transfer. Shot in a beautiful mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. More wides than usual to catch the simply amazing staging and blocking. Some increased wandering, shaking, and re-adjusting throughout, as well as my…

Caissie Levy (Diana), Jamie Parker (Dan), Jack Wolfe (Gabe), Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Natalie), Jack Ofrecio (Henry), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Dr. Fine Madden) Notes: A perfect capture of the West End transfer. The cast have only gotten better since the Donmar run. Filmed head on instead of from the side, like my previous capture, so you can see the actor’s expression clearly and get a…

Caissie Levy (Diana), Jamie Parker (Dan), Jack Wolfe (Gabe), Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Natalie), Jack Ofrecio (Henry), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Dr. Fine Madden) Notes: Unobstructed capture of this wonderful show!

Natalie Joy Johnson (Diana), Alan H. Green (Dan), Adante Carter (Gabe), Madison McBride (Natalie), Ben Clark (Henry), Joseph Morales (Dr. Fine Madden) Notes: Barrington Stage Company. Filmed in 4K. A few brief moments where the camera goes out of focus. A few dropoouts for late-comers or people going to the restroom other than those for applause. Mostly medium zooms, some wide shots for…

Kendra Kassebaum (Diana), Joe Cassidy (Dan), Jonathan Shew (Gabe), Andrea Ross (Natalie), A.J. Holmes (Henry), Mark Farrell (Dr. Fine Madden) Master’s Note: One of my attempts at upscaling original SD footage to 720p semi-HD MP4—a little grainy and may have overcorrected a bit for the dark footage, but still a pretty good video. Missed a short chunk during Why Stay?/A Promise due to…

Darlesia Cearcy (Diana), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Dan), Daniel J. Maldonado (Gabe), Ashley LaLonde (Natalie), Gían Pérez (Henry), Katie Thompson (Dr. Fine Madden) Notes: Closing performance. Filmed in 4K (released as 1080p and 4K), external audio. No obstructions at all, very steady. Occasional minor washout and focusing issues. What a phenomenal cast this was, especially Dar. Lee. See. Ah. (you’ll need extra tissues). Includes…
