StarCuffedJeans’ master. Previews. Picks up after "Road to Hell." Decent capture with a lot of beautiful zooms, two really annoying heads, and a drop out occasionally but never for long (For the first time in my mastering career I kept putting the camera down after musical numbers because I couldn't NOT clap). This was my first time seeing the show and hearing this music so I was sometimes focused on the wrong things. Oh well. Overall, I love this video. I got home at 2AM after filming it and just SOBBED while I rewatched some of my favorite moments. WHAT A SHOW.!

Full stage-shot of Hadestown Broadway filmed from the second row. The only known full video of the OBC post-opening, because the other videos are either a) previews or b) have at least one replacement actor (due to Ahmad Simmons and Afra Hines leaving fairly early) or c) are not quite the full show. Some head obstruction and tilt, but what can be seen is good due to the filmer being so close. Do not ask for master contact - without getting into too much info, the filmer ended up being a bigot and a creep to cast members, and although this video is not a leak and the distributors have permission to share, they all want to be careful and know who’s getting it.

everyturnandtwist’s master, not to be traded to dontsaythebword/broadwayenthusiast. My first Broadway video, unfortunately I had a tech issue and the video stops right near the end of Epic III. Act I has washout, it gets better in Act II, but I'm still figuring out how to film in professional theaters (they got some BRIGHT LIGHTS!!!) There are two heads seen on the side of the video during most parts as I am a mere five feet tall. Some performers get cut off by the mezzanine bar when they're at the front of the stage (especially Eva). But overall I'm really happy with how it came out! The only dropouts are in between songs (I really couldn't stop myself from cheering and clapping at this one).

everyturnandtwist’s master, not to be traded to dontsaythebword/broadwayenthusiast. Shot from the front mezzanine, front of stage action is captured great from between the bar. The bar obstructs a bit when performers are on the upper levels of the stage but overall very watchable. Capture includes the entire show, including partial curtain call (missing ‘We Raise Our Cups’). With my other master, you can get a great visual of the entirety of the show's beautiful choreography and staging.

Opening night in DC. Video is mediocre (C-). Wide-stage shots with no zooms. The front 20% of the stage is covered by the balcony overhang, but some of the group numbers are alright. Better in Act 1 than Act 2. Includes digital program.

Musain’s master. John Krause's debut as Orpheus! Shot on a phone, through heads, and unfortunately some scenes are angled so that you can only see certain corners of the stage. This is worst at the beginning of each act. You also can't see much during "darker" scenes, such as Doubt Comes In, etc. The curtain call and We Raise Our Cups is particularly bad, so bad that I included it as a freebie in my (free trade/gift) audio of the same show. That being said, it is still a video of John Krause's debut as Orpheus, and the shots that are good and unobstructed are pretty good, if I do say so myself. It is the whole show, from the cast walking out in Act 1 to the cast leaving the stage in Act 2, although as I already said, quality definitely varies.

Musain's master. Jewelle Blackman's second performance as Persephone, first evening performance; Tara Jackson's second performance and first evening performance as Jewelle's Fate. Some obstruction/blur/washout, worse in act 2 than act 1. Stageshot from the mezzanine. First known video of Jewelle as Persephone and Tara as Jewelle's Fate. Includes curtain call and ‘We Raise Our Cups’.

Unknown master. Pretty terrible phone boot from the balcony. The balcony railing obstructs a lot (mostly act two), but some of the group numbers and Hades/Persephone Balcony scenes are somewhat watchable. Includes digital program.

Musain's master. Recorded from the second row aisle. This was the first time Jewelle and Patrick performed together as Persephone and Hades. You can mostly only see the front of the stage (actors/scenes in general are cut off when the action takes place in the back of the stage. To be frank, the master is very short, hence why either heads or bodies are cut off and "full-shots" only occur in a very small handful of scenes). That being said, the parts that you can see are quite high-q, especially in the post-mastered form! Cuts off right after "I conduct the electric city", very appropriately. Postmastered by BenTheChipsAreDown, as always!

juniper47’s master. Filmed in 4K (released as 1080p and 4K), external audio source. Mix of wide, medium, and close zooms when appropriate. Obstruction from a head on lower right side in medium and wide shots, occasionally blocking some action on stage (as can be seen in provided screenshots). Audio only of ‘Our Lady of the Underground’, and a handful of drop-outs when the lighting became too bright in the audience. Otherwise, a very nice capture of Jordan Dobson, Jessie Shelton, and T. Oliver Reid as Orpheus, Eurydice, and Hermes, respectively.

juniper47’s master. Filmed in 4K, released in 1080p and 4K.** Very well shot from mezzanine, wide shots for ensemble numbers, close-ups for solo moments. Minor obstruction from a head for farthest downstage center moments, but shot around and doesn't obstruct anything major. A couple of short dropouts for late-comers and when ushers were moving about. Includes curtain call and ‘We Raise Our Cups’. J Antonio and Eddie were FANTASTIC as Orpheus and Hermes, respectively, and had refreshingly different takes! NEVER TO BE POSTED/SHARED/GIFTED ANYWHERE ONLINE including but not limited to YouTube, Tumblr, Vimeo, Reddit, Torrents, social media, etc. Never to be sold except by master.

bikinibottomday’s master. Excellent 4K capture of Patrick Page's final performance! A head is visible on the bottom of the frame at times but almost never blocks anything. Some wandering and unfocusing throughout. Fairly Patrick Page centered, as all of ‘Epic I’ and ‘Epic III’ are focused on him as well as some other typically-Orpheus centric moments. Blackout during the beginning of ‘Lady of the Underground’, and brief blackout during ‘Epic III’. Includes curtain call, 'We Raise Our Cups’, and speeches by Reeve, Patrick, and director Rachel Chavkin. Audio fed from external source.
