JONAH JAMESON: Michael Mulheren. There is a text file inside the audio with the full cast. Also, there's 68 tracks. I apologize, but I'm kind of OCD and made a new track every time there was a change in conversation. And the audio also includes Robert Cuccioli's BC/EFA speech.
Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark (5/25/13, 2pm) Broadway
PETER PARKER/SPIDER-MAN: Jake Epstein (alternate), ARACHNE: Christina DeCicco, MARY JANE WATSON: Rebecca Faulkenberry, FLASH: Jake Odmark, UNCLE BEN: Ken Marks, AUNT MAY: Isabel Keating, NORMAN OSBORN/GREEN GOBLIN: Robert Cuccioli, EMILY OSBORN: Emily Shoolin, J. JONAH JAMESON: Kevin C. Loomis (u/s)
The show was stopped briefly (about two minutes) during Act 1 because of a technical difficulty. I cut it out of the audio, which is why there is a little jump in the track "Spider-Man Flies." A couple was late returning to their seats after intermission, so Robert adlibs a little bit during "Norman Osborn 2.0."

[title of show] (7/5/08) Broadway
Jeff Bowen, Hunter Bell, Susan Blackwell, Heidi Blickenstaff, Larry Pressgrove
First Broadway Preview; mostly fullstage shots with some closeups throughout; slight camera wandering but not too much; tape switch during "Christines Message" but nothing else is lost; great video on a great night for the fans of the show A-
[title of show] (7/6/08) Broadway
Jeff Bowen, Hunter Bell, Heidi Blickenstaff, Susan Blackwell, Larry Pressgrove
About 10 minutes of total blackouts, which is mostly a chunk in within the first 13 minutes. Despite that, a nice capture and the audience was very into the show. Good sound and closeups and good video otherwise A-

Graham Phillips, Aaron Simon Gross, Allie Trimm, Eric Nelsen, Elizabeth Egan Gillies, Ashton Smallings, Kyle Crews, Alberto Calderon, Eamon Foley, Joey LaVarco, Ariana Grande, Caitlin Gann, Taylor Bright. Filmed fifteen feet away from the stage, heads, seats and other random things in frame, mostly clear shot center stage with extreme sides out of view, some cover-ups and some action not caught in the frame, DVD is a bag of mixed nuts but still worth having.

Filmed in 16:9 widescreen.with few obstructions only in the wide shots when there are two heads on either side of the frame. There is about 2 minutes of blackout when some commotion happened nearby involving an audience member taking pictures with his LCD screen on. A gut-wrenchingly sad performance where most of the cast members were in tears. A-

Dee Hoty, Diana DeGarmo, Mamie Parris, Joseph Mahowald, Kristine Zbornik, Sean Montgomery, KJ Hippensteel, Jesse JP Johnson, Wayne Schroder, Jane Blass, Michelle Marmolejo. A good capture of the tour with all of the changes from the Broadway production. There some quick dropouts throughout the show, but most are between scenes and none last for more than 30 seconds. There is some washout here and there and a bit of obstruction in the lower left corner during the first act, but none of the action is missed. Filmed with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound excellent. A-
