Assuming the proshot Cats is going to appear at some point. At least after that and Phantom, that's all of the 'already available' performances covered and we might then start getting some rarer stuff. While I get that they want to appeal to the masses, they must know that a lot of us have already seen these mainstream recordings numerous times. Having said that, if they captured Hannah Waddingham and Danielle Hope in Oz, I will be very happy. Or anything Sunset-related. You’re forgetting By Jeeves. True. Another one that's already available! |

I mean, I've already got four versions of Sunset in my collection (Glenn, Betty Buckley, and two with Patti), but there's always room for more isn't there!

Someone had recorded it from what looked like a box seat. I can’t remember if it was with John Barrowman - I think it may have been with Alexander Hansen? |

Hope this is ok here as it's ALW-related - an EP has been released on Spotify of some of the Jesus Christ Superstar songs recorded by female vocalists. Shoshana Bean and Cynthia Erivo are featured. Thought it might be of interest to some of you 😀

Who is the odd ‘modern’ phantom on the right hand side?

So an archive recording, rather than “official” one. |

Who is the odd ‘modern’ phantom on the right hand side? Peter Joback, he grew into the role a bit. He had only been in the show about 6 weeks at the time. |

Just watching Phantom. Is it just me, or does it switch to a studio recording of the main song (the one with all the screeching at the end) when they’re coming up on the gondola? The sound quality seems to change dramatically.

The sound quality seems to change dramatically. I believe that when the song starts the singing is recorded as it’s not the actual actors moving backwards and forwards at the top. Then when they come out on the boat it changes to them actually singing. |

Thank you! Is that just because of the RAH staging or is it always like
That?

Really enjoyed this. The camera work allowed me to see some of the facial expressions and nuanced acting that I don't recall from my in-person attendance.

For anyone who missed it, it's on Sky Arts on Sunday, 5.15 pm. And indeed still on YouTube for the rest of the weekend (for anyone without Sky Arts). |

Just finished watching. Really enjoyed that. The orchestra sounded stunning! I've realised that I find Christine deeply annoying. What part of "He's a creepy, psycho stalker!" doesn't she get?   Then we have the business of her crying over him at the end...er...he just tried to kill the man you love, and he's already killed 2 other people! I wonder what he'd have to do to make her throw up her hands, declare that he's a creepy, psycho stalker and storm off?  |

I just assumed it was the same as the first two. Not enough time to watch it if you haven't started yet, then. |

Ah bugger it! All geared up to watch this tonight just to see it's over. I know it's free and all but why such a short window? Come on, ALW!

FWIW, you can still rent it for £3.49 (from YouTube, Amazon, Google, and presumably iTunes as well).

I've a feeling they're gearing up for a pay-to-view special performance of something to raise money rather than the "please donate" route. |

I heard that Phantom was only 24 hrs not 48 because of something to do with rights? Not sure on the ins and outs.
