Disenchanted (12/28/14) New York
Snow White: Michelle Knight, Cinderella: Becky Gulsvig, Sleeping Beauty: Jen Bechter, Hua Mulan/Pocahontas/Princess Badroulbadour: Lulu Picart, Belle/The Little Mermaid/Rapunzel: Alison Burns, The Princess Who Kissed the Frog: Soara-Joye Ross
A great capture of this hilarious parody musical. No Disney princess is safe from mocking, and no princess is who you thought they were; Cinderella is a ditz, Belle is certifiable, Mulan is a lesbian, Ariel is a drunk, and much much more. The entire cast is fantastic, but Lulu is the standout with her amazing belt. This is a good capture overall with no washout and only minor obstruction, but there are a few blackouts. Four of the first five minutes are blacked out, there is a three minute blackout for the audience participation during Not V’one Red Cent, a six minute blackout during Perfect, and the last two minutes of the final song are blacked out. There is also one head that blocks a small part of the front/center part of the stage, but it only ever blocks the actors feet/legs. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is very good overall, but there is more shuffling and static than usual; all of the dialogue and songs are listenable. Includes playbill scans. Overall Rating: A-

Dog and Pony (6/7/14) San Diego, CA
Nicole Parker, Jon Patrick Walker, Heidi Blickenstaff, Beth Leavel, Eric William Morris. First act is blind shot with no zooms, but well captured in spite of that with most of the action ist here and just the extreme sides being blocked by two heads. Act two is much better, filmed with the nroaml zooms and following the action well; the heads are still there on the right and left, but they only block the actors feet; no washout, no blackouts, and good sound. 2 DVDs
