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

Caissie Levy (Diana), Jamie Parker (Dan), Jack Wolfe (Gabe), Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Natalie), Jack Ofrecio (Henry), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Dr. Fine Madden) Master’s Note: Filmed from side upper circle in 4K, released as 1080p and 4K. Rather obstructed in Act 1 due to railing, a little less obstructed for Act 2 after shifting seating position. Action near the stage left stairs cannot be seen…

Caissie Levy (Diana), Jamie Parker (Dan), Jack Wolfe (Gabe), Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Natalie), Jack Ofrecio (Henry), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Dr. Fine Madden) Notes: Wonderful capture of this intimate show taken from the stalls! Shot around heads and occasionally my sleeve.

Holt (Dr. Fine Madden), Natalia Noble (Ensemble), Jake Law (Ensemble), Jessica Lewis (Ensemble), Sterling Canfield (Ensemble) Notes: Originally posted on YouTube by Jake T.

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…

Judy McLane (Diana), P.J. Griffith (Dr. Madden, Dr. Fine), Eric Kunze (Dan), Patrick Mobley (Gabe), Clay Singer (Henry), Isabella Stansbury (Natalie) Notes: Act 1 is small resolution (360p), and two cameras for Act 2 (wideshot and the other one with closeups).

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…

박칼린 Kolleen Park (Diana), 남경주 Nam Kyung Joo, 최재림 Choi Jae Rim (Gabe), 오소연 Oh So Yeon (Natalie) Notes: No zooms, shot from house left, and has some washout. Honestly, the video itself isn’t good quality, so it’s pretty rough to watch.

Zhu Fu (Diana), Zhao Yu Jun (Dan), Shu Yang (Gabe), Yan Zhong Jie (Natalie), Dan Dan (Henry), Zhai Song(Dr. Fine Madden) Notes: Very Limited Trade (3:1) Matinee.

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…
