01-9-1988? | Broadway First Preview | VOB
Michael Crawford (Phantom), Sarah Brightman (Christine), Steve Barton (Raoul)
1988 | Tokyo, Japan | VOB | Proshot
Masachika Ichimura, Ryoko Nomura, Yuichiro Yamaguchi
*Excellent quality for something so old. Video does flicker and skip at times. Three flubs during the final scene - boat stops in 'Down Once More' and the Phantom and Christine go walking on water, candles and set are not fully onstage when the leads come in, and the doll gets stuck on the Phantom's throne.
1988 | London | VOB
Dave Willetts, Jan Hartley-Morris, Michael Cormick
* Clearer than the Rebecca Caine video above, but there's a lot of fuzz and faces are indistinct; tons of washout and color bleeding. Often labeled as having Michael Ball as Raoul, but it's Michael Cormick. Dave Willetts and Jan Hartley-Morris are both very lovely, old school actors.
1989 | Vienna, Austria | VOB Highlights
Alexander Goebel, Luzia Nistler, Alfred Pfeifer*
* Highlights of two-camera proshot. Some generation loss. Includes 40 minutes of interview and concert footage with various casts and productions.
1993 | Scheveningen, Netherlands | VOB
Henk Poort, Joke de Kruijf, Peter de Smet*
UPGRADED VERSION, from original PAL format. Much clearer quality and no video problems during 'Why Have You Brought Me Here'. Full show, includes curtain call and exit music.
08-29-1993 Matinee| Los Angeles | VOB

08-22-1999 | Hamburg, Germany | VOB
David Hunerjaeger (u/s), Valentina Kozhanova (u/s), Kyle Gonyea, Laurie Ann McGowan, Linda Bruske, Marcello Roncietto, Sabrina Harper, Stephan Drakulich, Eberhardt Neitzel*
* Shot on two different days, so the angle changes between acts. Fairly good picture filmed from the side.
11-18-2003 | US Tour, Los Angeles | VOB
Brad Little, Marni Raab, Tim Martin Gleason, David Cryer, D.C. Anderson, Kim Stengel, Jimmy Smagula, Patti Davidson-Gorbea, Kate Wray*

11-28-2003 | Stuttgart, Germany | VOB
Steve Lucas (u/s), Maike Switzer, Carsten Lepper, Stefan Mueller-Ruppert, Marko Woytowicz, Barbara Grey Nystrom, Anette Kuhn, Marcello Ronchietto, Lara Glew
* Hilarious flub in which Red Death could not make it up to the staircase during 'Masquerade', so he walks through the crowd to get there.
05-23-2004 | Stuttgart, Germany | VOB
Thomas Schulze, Maike Switzer, Carsten Axel Lepper, Ernst van Looy, Jonathan Agar, Barbara Gray Nystrom, Gabriele Ramm, Marchello Ronchietto, Katie Wood
*Big picture, a little fuzzy. Blocking from heads and the bar in front; camera can be very shaky. *Many wideshots and gigantic closeups as well. Last show for the Stuttgart production; features some funny ad-libs from the cast.
October 15, 2004 | London | VOB
John Owen-Jones, Rachel Barrell, Oliver Thornton, Anthony Cable (u/s), Sam Hiller, Sally Harrison, Emma Edwards (u/s), Rohan Tickell, Claire Tilling*
* Great quality video, very clear. Filmed at the beginning of Rachel Barrell's run, she's not quite as good as she would be later.
08-18-2006 | Broadway | VOB
Howard McGillin, Rebecca Pitcher, Michael Shawn Lewis, Julie Schmidt (u/s), David Cryer, George Lee Andrews, Marilyn Caskey, Roland Rusinek, Heather McFadden*
* Terrific quality video, very sharp colors and details. Audio is out of sync starting at 'Angel of Music' but is fixed by the title song.
08-30-2006 | Las Vegas | VOB
Brent Barrett, Sierra Boggess, Tim Martin Gleason, Geena Jeffries Mattox, John Wolfe, Lawson Skala, Rebecca Spencer, Brianne Morgan, Larry Morbitt*
*Fuzzy and rather dull capture of the Las Vegas show. Shot from quite far back in the theater, so filming is shaky, tends to stray, and is obstructed by several heads.
