*Michael Drolet's Last Show*
Highlights include: TWAI, Popular, Defyi ng Gravity, As Long As You're Mine, and No Good Deed.
Great performances from all the cast. One blooper in Popular, Emily drops the wand. Emily is a really great Glinda and throws a great Popular. Teal is great as always with some nice riffs in No Good Deed. Quality is good but very shaky at times, always follows the action. Rating: B+ / Format: VOB

This was supposed to be Teal's last show, but she blew her voice out the day before during "The Wizard and I", so this was Angel's first full show EVER as Elphaba, Eddy's third as Boq.

*Eden and Megan's first back*
A nice capture of Eden and Megan’s first performance back; filmed from the right balcony with a mix of wide shots, medium shots, and close-ups; sound is excellent throughout, and the color/clarity is great; some spotlight washout, especially in the wide shots, but not too bad; no heads in the way at all, but an arm blocks the very right edge of the stage in some wide shots; quite a few cover-ups through the first half of the first act, up to Popular, but most of them are very short.

Filmed from the center mezz with a mix of wide shots, medium shots, and close-ups. Most of the second classroom scene is blacked out, but that was the only major cover-up so everything else is there; excellent sound throughout; spotlight washout here and there, shaky camera.

Eden cracks at the end of TWAI but the crowd still goes crazy and she makes up for it! A few blackouts, but nothing extreme. A good capture of the final LA performance; first 13 minutes of the show (until Galinda introduces herself to Morrible) is blacked out except for one minute of video toward the end of NOMTW; a couple of heads in the way but it improves with some spotlight washout on wideshots; mostly medium shots but some closeups throughout; good sound.
