August 1st, 2014 / Hollywood Bowl / A+
Cast: Hunter Parrish, Benjamin Walker, Kristen Bell, Amber Riley, Jonah Platt, Jenna Ushkowitz, Mario, Sarah Hyland, Beverly D’Angelo, Kevin Chamberlin, Amanda Balen, Carly Bracco, Jennifer Foster, Taylor Frey, Courtney Galiano, Nkrumah Gatling, Rhett George, Kyle Hill, Jeremy Hudson, Joanna Alexis Jones, Yani Marin, Kimberly Moore, Maurice Murphy, Jane Papageorge, Louis Pardo, Matthew Peacock, Corbin Reid, Johnny Rice, Haylee Roderick, Cailan Rose, Constantine Rousouli, Rustin Cole Sailors, Hanna-Lee Sakakibara, Isaac Tualaulelei.
Note: A fantastic capture of the Hollywood Bowl’s annual Broadway show. This production follows the 2009 revival staging fairly closely with some occasional improvised lines and different blocking to accommodate the larger stage. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent as usual. Includes curtain call, encore, and playbill scans.
