ACT 1 ONLY, MP4 403.9 MB
NOTES:
Undated
video. Act One only. This may also be the Broadway production as this
particular cast combination makes identifying the video problematic.
Based on information online, Adrian Zmed, Carolee
Carmello, and Chip Zien did not appear together in these roles (Adrian
and Chip appeared together on Broadway, but Carolee is only known to
have played Cordelia in that production. She played Trina on the First
National Tour opposite Adrian, but Chip did not
appear on that tour). The best guess is that this is either the Broadway
production with Carolee understudying/covering, or it's the First
National Tour with Chip as an emergency cover/replacement.
MY NOTES: I would definitely say that this is the National Tour, Carolee definitely did not play Trina on Broadway. I remember an interview where someone mentioned that at one point Jonathan Caplan was brought in for a week as a cover on the tour and then his voice broke at the end of the week, so crazy tour emergency replacement antics seems a more likely fit and possibility than Carolee Trina on Broadway.

Tracking Master is not
sure who plays Cordelia, as it doesn't totally sound like Carolee. I'm
fairly certain it's her, I've listened to her sing 'Days Like this' more
times than I can count, and I'm near certain it's her, though her laugh
is different to Chip's hydrants move line in LA

Off-Broadway
Lewis Cleale*, Penny Fuller, Mary Testa, Kristin Chenoweth, Chip Zien, Norm Lewis, Liz Larsen
Notes: Final matinee
Notes: Audio listed Malcolm Gets, but it sounds more like Lewis Cleale who replaced him, which makes sense if this is the final matinee. This doesn't sound like Keith Byron Kirk either, who was listed as the Minister
