Phantom of the Opera Vienna, Theater An Der Wien, Austria (1991)
Cast: Ernst-Dieter Suttheimer (alt), Colleen Besett (alt), Timothy Breese (alt), Dietrich Hergt, Horst Reeh (u/s), Linda Healy (alt.), Claudia Rose Golde (u/s), Sergio Lombana, Eva-Maria Weber (u/s)
Description: Shot from right box, and some of the stage left action is blocked but it's saved by great close-ups. Some flickering into b&w but otherwise, gorgeous picture and color for its age. Sound is fed in through the soundboard so some of the Phantom's voiceovers as well as the monkey music box are inaudible. Last show for some performers (Suttheimer, Breese, Golde) they get flowers in the end Performance.

Phantom of the Opera Scheveningen, Holland (1993). mp4
Cast: Henk Poort (Phantom), Joke de Kruijf, Peter de Smet
Full show, including curtain call and exit music. Some video problems for Why have you, Close-ups quite blurry at times. The better of only two known videos of this cast, the other one was filmed by a production camera and has no zooms. Shot from a tripod, and the taper knows the show very well probably a production vid. Poort is incredible: I thought his acting was a little stiff when he first appeared, but he loosens up by the end to deliver an
absolutely heart-breaking Final Lair. Kruijf has one of the best voices ever and this video doesn't do her justice.
There are some different choreographies not seen in the American version, lets just say that PONR is a lot steamier than what you see on Broadway.

Absolutely Phantomless Australia (13.04.1995) VOB LIMITED TRADE
The Australian cast of Phantom of the Opera in their annual Easter Charity Concert. Each of Cameron Mackintosh's Australian shows participates at midnight after their regular performances. These shows feature the cast members parodying songs and other shows, with a slight tilt towards their own productions. Pro-shot for video, these tapes were made for cast and crew only. Very rare! Very enjoyable show
