Trading Site Reopening and Gifting Spree!
So. After weeks of work (*insert alpaca scream here*), my trading site is open for trading! To celebrate, I decided to gift a few audios and videos from Phantom of the Opera, a few audios from Les Misérables, two cast recordings from Elisabeth das Musical, and a cast recording for Sweeney Todd. Enjoy!
(If you're the master of a listed audio/video, please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you want me to remove your stuff from the list.)
POTO audios
Michael Crawford, Rebecca Caine (alt.), Steve Barton October 10, 1987; London Michael Crawford and Steve Barton's last in London. Soundboard, very good quality, and this one is complete. And Rebecca Caine sounds amazing in it (as she always does). https://www.mediafire.com/file/pttrjfqzb84gatm/POTO_West_End_10-10-1987_-_Crawford%252C_Caine%252C_Barton.rar/file Steve Barton, Rebecca Luker, Gary Lindemenn (u/s),  Marilyn Caskey, Jeff Keller, George Lee Andrews, Leila Martin September 26, 1990; Broadway Soundboard audio. Because Steve Barton was almost as good of a Phantom as he was as Raoul, and Rebecca Luker is a legend (RIP). https://www.mediafire.com/file/xc9ywojtdesptje/POTO_Broadway_26-09-1990_-_Barton%252C_Luker%252C_Lindemenn.rar/file Davis Gaines, Tracy Shayne, Matthew R. Jones, George Lee Andrews, Jeff Keller, Lelia Martin October 5, 1996; Broadway Davis Gaines's last performance. Because Davis Gaines has one of the best voices I've heard in the role. https://www.mediafire.com/file/w1ybvl8v6e4ex6r/POTO_Broadway_05-01-1996_-_Gaines%252C_Shayne%252C_Little.rar/file Brad Little, Lisa Vroman, Tim Martin Gleason, Kim Stengel, DC Anderson, David Cryer, Patti  Davidson-Gorbea, Kate Wray, Jimmy Smagula December 5, 2003; Los Angeles Lisa Vroman’s second-to-last performance as Christine.

And John Owen-Jones! https://www.mediafire.com/file/00vtvziy172lpkv/POTO_UK_Tour_29-09-2012_-_Owen-Jones%252C_Hall%252C_Bailey.rar/file Hugh Panaro, Elizabeth Welch (u/s), Jeremy Hays March 3, 2014; Broadway Great trio overall, but Elizabeth Welch is a standout (to me at least). https://www.mediafire.com/file/1hc1ozi96vok5pd/POTO_Broadway_03-03-2014_-_Panaro%252C_Welch%252C_Hays.rar/file Dmitry Ermak, Tamara Kotova, Eugeny Zaytsev, Irina Samoylova, Alexei Bobrov, Yuri Mazihin, Elena Charkviani, Valeria Migalina, Rustim Bahtiyarov (u/s) July 16, 2015; Moscow A lovely production that I miss - Tamara Kotova in particular is great. https://www.mediafire.com/file/w56tx5d7fkh4kse/POTO_Moscow_16-07-2015_-_Ermak%252C_Kotova%252C_Zaytsev.rar/file John Owen-Jones, Celinde Schoenmaker, Nadim Naaman, Megan Llewellyn, Michael Matus, Christopher Dickens, Jacinta Mulcahy, Alicia Beck, John Ellis September 7, 2015; London First performance of the 2015-2016 cast. https://www.mediafire.com/file/5hswf44ldku6ngm/POTO_West_End_07-09-2015_-_Owen-Jones%252C_Schoenmaker%252C_Naaman.rar/file Peter Jöback, Emmi Christensson, Anton Zetterholm, Karolina Andresson, Glenn Kjellberg, Rolf Lydhal, Sanna Martin, Tehilla Blad, Sindre Postholm March 19, 2017; Stockholm Given Christine is from Sweden, it's only fair to include the recent Stockholm production. https://www.mediafire.com/file/zkl38t9388gcvh7/POTO_Sweden_2017-03-19_PJ_EC_AZ.wav/file Tim Howar, Amy Manford, Jeremy Taylor, Kimberly Blake, Ross Dawes, Alan Vicary, Jacinta Mulcahy, Georgia Ware, Paul Ettore Tabone September 7, 2019; London This one is different from the one listed as NFT (so don't get mad at me, haha).

POTO videos
Earl Carpenter, Rachel Barrell, David Shannon, Wendy Ferguson, David Lawrence (u/s), Sam Hiller, Emily Harvey (u/s), Heidi Ann O'Brien, Rohan Tickell January 2006 VOB format.  If you want to see Earl in London right now but can't... this video is the best quality overall that features him, and Rachel Barrell is a fantastic Christine - one of my favorites in the role. https://mega.nz/folder/u09GQKyR#gjNHj4Letd9YInTsuLowjA Gary Mauer, Elizabeth Southard, Jim Weitzer, Kim Stengel, John Jellison, DC Anderson, Patti Davidson-Gorbea, Kate Wray, John Whitney April 6, 2006; Dallas VOB format.  For my Eristine moots (I see you!): Gary Mauer and Elizabeth Southard were (and as far as I know, still are) married while performing as the Phantom and Christine, and you thought Ramin and Sierra's chemistry was off the charts, think again. https://mega.nz/folder/PtExxS5A#D4yyf2g_lXoN-cIDPkMU2Q Anthony Crivello, Kristi Holden, Andrew Ragone, Geena Jeffries Mattox, John Leslie Wolfe, Lawson Skala, Tina Walsh, Brianne Kelly Morgan, Larry Wayne Morbitt August 8, 2008; Las Vegas VOB format. This is the Las Vegas Spectacular production, which is abriged compared to the original but totally worth seeing. If you want to understand why I love Meg Giry so much, Brianne Kelly Morgan is one of the best I've ever seen in the role. Also, if you’re meh about Raoul... with Andrew Ragone, think again. He’s one of the most Superman/Clark Kent Raouls I’ve seen. And I really like Kristi Holden’s Leroux-esque Christine too.  https://mega.nz/folder/Sh1zxSAB#twtXau8Y8pd_L9tMQLa4Mg Jeremy Stolle (u/s), Samantha Hill, Greg Mills (u/s), Michele McConnell, Tim Jerome, Richard Poole (u/s), Ellen Harvey, Kara Klein, Christian Sebek March 9, 2013 VOB format. Missing part of Act 1 (‘Stranger Than You Dreamt It’ to Il Muto), but otherwise complete. This is one of the best trios I've seen on Broadway, and Samantha Hill is just a fantastic Christine overall. https://mega.nz/folder/y1slyJRD#OP1Tp5Cj_fMk9LbAWJMqAA Tomas Ambt Kofod, Sibylle Glosted, Christian Lund, Louise Fribo, Carl Christian Rasmussen, Sebastian Harris, Elisabeth Halling, Imogen-Lilly Ash, Rasmus Jupin March 2019; Copenhagen VOB format. This one is more recent, but given it's been uploaded on YouTube, I guess it's fine to gift it (again, if you’re the master and you want me to remove this, please let me know).This one has one of the best casts ever caught on tape. Seriously. Everyone in this is a star. https://mega.nz/folder/q40hTagI#Zui14MWo-F2YSQ0gNdaL6Q

Sweeney Todd
2000 Concert Cast Recording George Hearn, Patti LuPone, Davis Gaines, Heidi Grant Murphy, Paul Plishka, Audra McDonald, Standford Olsen, Neil Patrick Harris, John Aler Pretty sure this isn't on Spotify, which is a real shame given its cast. So enjoy! EDIT: Someone pointed out to me that the recording is incomplete - probably a result of the Great Hardware Crash of 2016, so until I get the full version, this will probably stay incomplete. Sorry about that! https://www.mediafire.com/file/ywoiqe5bnlzr7bs/Sweeney_Todd_2000_New_York_Concert_Cast.rar/file

Not the original person who asked for book recs, but I really appreciate that list/the detail you put into it, and also how it was a sort of expansive list that seemed to have a little something for everyone. Thank you, Charles. I’d also be very interested in hearing your non-fiction recs!
Will do!
Tom Holland's History of Rome series (Rubicon, Dynasty, and Pax) covers the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire (From Julius Caesar up to the Emperor Hadrian) in an engaging and easy-to-follow narrative.
Ponzinomics by Robert Fitzpatrick is about the history of Multi-Level Marketing scams. How they came to be from earlier scams, how they grew so powerful, and how they evaded accountability by entrenching themselves in the highest levels of politics and the economy.
Mikal Hem's How to Be a Dictator is a funny but informative book about how autocrats come to power, stay in power, and all the things they do with that power, written in the form of a guide for the morally scrupilous to become dictators themselves.
The Road to Jonestowns by Jeff Guinn is a very good biography of cult leader and mass-murderer Jim Jones. It illustrates very well the contradictions of the man and his organization, being both an activist who helped the needy and a power-hungry cult leader who abused thousands of his own followers and eventually killed hundreds of them.
The hardest reads but maybe the most important are The Holocaust by Laurence Rees and American Holocaust by David Stannard. The Nazis' genocide of Jewish people and millions of others, and the centuries-long extermination and extinction of most of the indigenous peoples of the Americas are some of the biggest atrocities and tragedies in human history and yet most people know only the most basic details about them if at all.

TEXAS Longtime locals and newer residents make list of 27 state billionaires
By IRVING MEJIA-HILARIO
Staff Writer
It’s not just average, everyday citizens who are moving to Texas. More of the ultra rich and powerful are beginning to call Texas home.
A total of 27 individuals, including Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban, Dallas philanthropists Margot Perot and family, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk, Dallas oilman Ray Hunt, and many more, are part of a long list of the most affluent people who claim the Lone Star State as their stomping grounds, according to the Bloomberg 2024 billionaire index tracking the world’s 500 richest individuals.
Musk, also the owner of social media platform X, formerly Twitter, remains atop all other Texans as the third richest individual on the list. He only trails Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos and Louis Vuitton CEO Bernard Arnault. Musk has an estimated net worth of $187 billion, according to Bloomberg.
The controversial Texas businessman and South Africa native has close ties to Texas’ capital, Austin, as he’s made it the home of the Tesla Gigafactory. The factory produces approximately 375,000 electric vehicles every year.
Musk’s ties to Texas don’t end there, as the state plays host to a SpaceX launch site and has broken ground on 6,000 acres near Austin where he’s planning to build a “Texas utopia,” according to The Wall Street Journal . Musk has also moved his tunneling venture Boring Company and brain chip company Neuralink to Texas.
Though Musk has an affinity for Texas, he’s also dismissed Dallas as a city he finds to be “too Texas” for his liking, according to Walter Isaacson’s book titled Elon Musk .
Sports fans may also be unsurprised as other prominent names such as Mark Cuban, Jerry Jones, Tilman Fertitta and Stan Kroenke all made the list. Of those names, Fertitta is up the most from last year as he’s gained an additional $915 million to add to his $12 billion net worth. Cuban also made a splash in cash this year when he sold a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks for $3.5 billion.
Since this point last year, Cuban has gained $425 million and has a net worth of approximately $7.29 billion, according to Bloomberg. He sold the majority stake to casino matriarch Miriam Adelson, who also sits at 43rd on the overall list with an estimated net worth of approximately $35.5 billion.
Another Dallas billionaire, Jerry Jones, continues to grow his hoard of wealth as he added $60.7 million to his estimated $12.6 billion net worth, according to Bloomberg.
Despite recent controversies, such as a recently dismissed defamation suit in which a woman claimed she was his biological daughter as well as an uncovered photo that showed Jones as a bystander when six Black teenagers entered desegregated North Little Rock High School in North Little Rock, Ark., in 1957, Jones’ love for Texas doesn’t seem to be going anywhere any time soon.
He recently pumped $100 million into Comstock Resources Inc., a Frisco-based natural gas company of which he is listed as a majority shareholder.
Other Dallas-Fort Worth names such as prominent Walmart stockholder Alice Walton, Koch Industries director Elaine Marshall, Hunt Consolidated chairman Ray Hunt, Energy Transfer Partners CEO Kelcy Warren, Rees-Jones Oil & Minerals owner Trevor Rees-Jones and philanthropists Margot Perot and family were all featured on the list.
Other big Texas cities didn’t miss out on some big names. In addition to Musk, University of Texas at Austin alumni and chief executive of Dell Technologies Michael Dell calls Austin home, and Friedkin Group CEO Dan Friedkin, among others, look to Houston as their homes.
To make the list, a person had to have a minimum net worth of at least $5.79 billion.
Other Texas billionaires on the list include:
Autry Stephens ($23.4 billion), Endeavor Energy Resources founder
Jeffery Hildebrand ($19.8 billion), Hilcorp Energy founder
Charles Butt and family ($13.3 billion), H-E-B Grocery chairman
Andy Beal ($13.1 billion), Beal Bank chairman
Robert Smith ($11.4 billion), CEO of Vista Equity Partners
Richard Kinder ($10 billion), Kinder Morgan chairman
Randa Williams ($9.67 billion), Enterprise Products Partners chairman
Dannine Avara ($9.65 billion), Enterprise Products Partners stockholder
Scott Duncan, ($9.65 billion), Enterprise Products Partners stockholder
Milane Frantz ($9.65 billion), Enterprise Products Partners stockholder
Ann Kroenke, ($8.18 billion), Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche owner
Michael Smith, ($7.97 billion) Freeport LNG chief executive
Tito Beveridge ($7.51 billion), Tito’s Vodka founder
Thai Lee ($6.32 billion), SHI International Corporation CEO
Dallas has added more millionaires than all but 3 other US cities, new report finds
The number of millionaires in Dallas has increased 75% over the past decade as wealth continues to accumulate in the fastest-growing region in the United States.
That's according to a report by consulting firm Henley & Partners Holdings Ltd., which ranked Big D fourth for the percentage increase in the number of millionaires from 2013 to 2023.
Dallas tied with Washington, D.C., and trailed only Austin, the San Francisco Bay Area and Miami.
That concentration of wealth has big implications for a wide swath of North Texans, from financial advisers and other service providers to government leaders and nonprofit bosses.
Overall, Dallas has the sixth-most millionaires in the country with 68,600, according to Henley & Partners, which says it specializes in residence and citizenship by investment.
New York continues to wear the millionaires crown with 349,500. The Bay Area ranked second, followed by Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston.
But the tech-fueled Bay Area ranked No. 1 for the most billionaires in the country with 68. New York City ranked second with 60, followed by Los Angeles with 43. Dallas ranked sixth with 15 billionaires.
The increase of wealth in Dallas has coincided with an economic boom.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex's population growth has led the nation in recent years — it added an estimated 152,598 people from mid-2022 to mid-2023, the largest increase of any metro in the nation, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The region has grown to more than 8 million residents.
The Metroplex has also added a large number of corporate headquarters in recent years, including those for Charles Schwab Corp., Caterpillar Inc. and CBRE Group Inc.
The attraction of wealth has helped contribute to DFW's ascendance as a U.S. financial center with hundreds of money managers choosing to move to or expand in the region.
In December 2020, DFW surpassed the Los Angeles metro as the second-largest hub of financial workers in the U.S., trailing only New York, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Dallas isn't alone in Texas for its increased wealth. The Henley & Partners report tabbed Austin as the fastest-growing millionaire hub, with a 110% increase in the past decade.
Elsewhere in the country, Salt Lake City and Florida's Tampa and Naples are expected to attract rising numbers of wealthy individuals over the next decade, according to the report.
Nationally, the number of millionaires grew 62% from 2013 to 2023, significantly higher than the global rate of 38%, according to the Henley & Partners report. The U.S. ranks first in liquid investable wealth at $67 trillion, the number of millionaires (5.5 million) and the number of billionaires (788). However, America's per capita wealth of $201,497 ranks sixth globally behind Monaco, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Australia and Singapore.

Boca Woods Country Club
Tumblr media
A Comfortable Fit at Boca Woods Country Club The Boca Woods Country Club story begins from the ground up. Well, at least from the feet up. Club Board President Dustin Whisenhunt puts it in these words: “This community (founded in 1981) has undergone tremendous change in the past several years. Boca Woods has gone from being a sleepy little club that was like your favorite pair of shoes. Sure, they were a little worn and not the latest style, but they were comfortable as heck.’’ These are new times, however, and Boca Woods has emerged in the past five years with a modernized facility, rapid member turnover, higher dues structure, new personnel, and a soon-to-be-renovated Woods golf course.’ To be sure, Boca Woods’ hospitality and service still make it feel like a pair of comfortable shoes, but all shined up and with fresh laces. “This change has been welcomed by many of us,’’ Whisenhunt said, “but we must acknowledge that it’s not easy for everyone.’’ Change rarely is easy, whether it’s a new pair of shoes (regardless of how comfortable) or a renovated golf course. And change at a storied South Florida private club community such as Boca Woods brings even more challenges. However, those challenges have been met head-on by General Manager/COO David Sweet and his team, including Director of Golf Jeff Gullett and Membership/Marketing Director Adria Worthington. Sweet arrived at Boca Woods in 2016. Over those years, one overriding goal has developed for his team: Change Boca Woods’ volunteer leadership culture from operations-focused to more along the lines of planning and governance. Boca Woods Country Club welcomes members to an upscale and active lifestyle. “Part of that was reinvestment and allowing managers to focus on the operation,’’ Sweet said. “We’ve spent a lot of time and energy rebuilding trust with the membership, developing a staff, and correcting some things.’’ Among the more significant initiatives, the Boca Woods team has pushed through a previously rejected (four times) enhancement plan that included everything from installing the Club’s signature Rolex clock to a full kitchen renovation and expanding the sports and fitness center to two stories. “Last year, we spent $2.1 million in capital replacement without requiring any assessment from the members,’’ Sweet said. A demographic study of the past five years at Boca Woods, Sweet said, shows that the average age of a club member has dropped by seven years. The average age of a person moving into the 645-home community now is 53 years. “We’re getting people moving in who are in the late 30s and 40s,’’ Sweet said. “The family dynamic has changed over the past five years.  Five years ago, we had seven or eight kids in the community. Today, we have more than 100 kids who are 15 years and under.’’ To help better serve (and attract) that younger demographic, Boca Woods, according to Sweet, is investing $200,000 into a racquet sports facility, expanding its pickleball courts, and adding two pavilions. Next year’s tentative enhancements will include a proposal for Toptracer range technology. Rees Jones’ renovation of the Woods course (6,647 yards, par 72) has already received member approval. The course, originally designed by Joe Lee, is expected to begin renovation work in March 2024. The Lakes course (6,816, par 72), designed by Karl Litten, will remain open. “Most of the greens we have now are elevated,’’ Gullett said of the Woods course. “Rees will build six medium-height greens and six higher greens. He’ll also pull back some tees to make the course play as long as 7,000 yards and put in some ‘family’ tees that basically will create a par-3 course inside the big course. “He (Jones) almost had a blank canvas because the corridors within Boca Woods are pretty wide. So he can rearrange some holes, move them closer or farther to the water, and replant some trees. Just give it a different look.’’ The renovation, Sweet said, “Gives us a chance to shore up the course for the modern game and at the same time add some cool features, like adding tees for more equitable shot distribution.’’ Equitable distribution, by the way, goes beyond the fairways and greens. “We are sort of a rare model of the club in that we have a small membership (approximately 530 golf members) and two golf courses. So that works to our benefit.’’ Sort of like that comfortable pair of shoes. Photos Courtesy of Boca Woods Country Club     Read the full article

THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA (1973) – Episode 188 – Decades Of Horror 1970s
“Nothing is too vile. Nothing is too dreadful, too awful. You need to know the terror, the horror, Lorrimor. You need to feel the thrill of disgust, the beauty of obscenity.” Oh, Freddie Jones, you had me at vile. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they do a ride-along with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee for their last Hammer film together, The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973).
Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 188 – The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973)

In 1974, Scotland Yard believes it has uncovered a case of vampirism, so they call in veteran vampire researcher Professor Lorrimer Van Helsing.
  Director: Alan Gibson
Writer: Don Houghton (screenplay by)
Music by: John Cacavas
Cinematography by: Brian Probyn (director of photography)
Film Editing by: Chris Barnes
Selected Cast:
Christopher Lee as Count Dracula / D.D. Denham

It’s time to cover the final pairing of Peter Cushing as Van Helsing and Christopher Lee as Count Dracula in Count Dracula and His Vampire Bride! Wait, no… The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973). Two years after the events of Dracula A.D. 1972, Cushing’s Van Helsing discovers Lee’s Dracula is still alive… and living in London… (see what I did there) and is now a wealthy CEO. But, he still has dastardly plans in his cape. Ironically, while this film did not land state-side until 1978 keeping U.S. fans waiting, it is now, sadly, in the public domain… sigh. Regardless, if you watch a sharp HD cut from an original print, you can catch glimpses of the powerhouse horror film company Hammer used to be as Helsing and crew literally use every method possible to dispose of the vampires lurking about. C’mon, despite its questionable quality, you gotta see this.
At the time of this writing, The Satanic Rites of Dracula is available to stream from the Roku Channel, Tubi, Popcornflix, Freevee, Screambox, and a variety of PPV sources. It is also available on Blu-ray from Warner Archives.
Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Jeff, will be Paul Naschy’s The Werewolf and the Yeti (1975). Or is it Night of the Howling Beast? Or La maldición de la bestia? Or Il licantropo e lo yeti? Or Horror of the Werewolf? Or The Curse of the Beast? Or Hall of the Mountain King? Anyhoo, have you seen any of these?
We want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans: comment on the site or email the Decades of Horror 1970s podcast hosts at [email protected]

Im considering starting a zine or something to help promote artists and writers on Tumblr because there's a lot of cool ones that don't get a lot of notes and/or need financial help.
Im gonna see if anyone's interested before I start putting anything together seriously
I was thinking starting out with a one-time issue to see if its successful and makes sales and if it is make it a regular thing, maybe every few months?
I don't really have experience and I would need a lot of help putting it together but I think it could help a lot of my fellow creators get the recognition and support they need.
Tagging my friends, mutuals, and favorite art and writing blogs to see if anyone is interested. If you are, please feel free to comment or reblog! Sorry if I missed anyone. All artists welcome

I’ve been lurking in the Starlight Express fandom for awhile, and its one of the most fun fandoms I’ve been a part of in awhile. So I’ve decided to gift some of my StEx bootlegs so I can give back to the community!
I created a google doc that contains the date, tour, cast, and the link for each bootleg, along with some additional info about file types and other things.
Here are the boots that are listed: (This isn’t my whole collection of StEx boots, but these are just the ones I think people should see. I intend to add more as my collection grows!)
Videos-
September 13, 2003 | 2nd US Tour |
Franklyn Warfield (Rusty), Clarissa Grace (Pearl), Drue Williams (Greaseball), Dustin Dubreuil (Electra), Jaremy Kocal (Caboose) Katie O’Toole (Dinah), Dennis Legree (Papa), Joanna Loughran-Richert (Buffy), Kait Holbrook (Ashley)
January 28, 2015 | Bochum |
Kevin Köhler, Trina Hill, David Moore, Matthew Goodgame, Emma Prosser, Paul Shipp, Ben Draper, Sian Velazquez, Carla Pullen, Toby Poole, Paul Treacy, Jason Gray, Brett Shields, Brad Corben, Cary Chennell, Dean Coach, Kelly Downing, Dawn Leigh Woods, Melanie Brown, Graham Harvey, Elliot Collins, Adam Bailey, Jeffrey Socia, Craig Tyler, Manuel Reckow, Etienne Vogel                                                    Notes: Excellent shoot, taper clearly knows the show. A couple particularly blocky bits couldn’t be smoothed out.
May 31, 2015 | Bochum |
Kevin Köhler (Rusty), Trina Hill (Pearl), Matthew Goodgame (Greaseball), Paul Shipp (Electra), Amy Di Bartolomeo (u/s Dinah), David Moore (Papa), Carla Pullen (Buffy), Victoria Anderson (Ashley), Mike Eborall (u/s Caboose), Dewayne Adams (Hip Hopper 1), Brett Shiels (Hip Hopper 2), Ciaran Rees (Hip Hopper 3), Duncan Leighton (Dustin), Paul Treacy (Flattop), Dean Coach (Krupp), Toby Poole (Purse), Kelly Downing (Joule), Melanie Brown (Wrench), Cate Gunner (u/s Volta), Graham Harvey (Ruhrgold), Jason Gray (u/s Turnov), Adam Bailey (Espresso), Jeffrey Socia (Bobo), Luke Zammit (u/s Hashimoto)                                    Notes: Goodbye show for the 2014/15 cast. This is also the bootleg where that infamous gif of Greaseball and Electra kissing comes from. 
August 27, 2019 | Bochum |
Markus Fetter (Rusty), Hollie Aires (Pearl), Ben Carruthers (Greaseball), Adam Lake (Elektra), Sian Jones (u/s Dinah), Reva Rice (Momma)              Notes: Filmed in portrait mode. You can't make out any faces but you can follow the action and the choreography quite well. Very good audio. Nice to see the changes for the 30th Anniversary of Starlight Express.
Audios-
1984 | West End |
Ray Shell (Rusty), Stephanie Lawrence (Pearl), Jeff Shankley (Greaseball), Jeffry Daniel (Electra),  Frances Ruffelle (Dinah), Lon Satton (Papa), Michael Stanifourth (CB)                                                                      Notes (not Masters notes): This is the only known capture of the original West End cast on stage. It’s not the full OC, as some characters, like Buffy and Dustin have different voices from the cast album, but I can’t verify which understudies they are. The sound is washed out, and there's a slight static sound, but it’s still understandable. I’d recommend this to any fan of the show!
Proshots-
1988 | West End |
Gary Cordice (Rusty), Kim Leeson (Pearl), Drue Williams (Greaseball), Maynard Williams (Electra), Beverley Braybon (Dinah), Shezwae Powell (Belle), Peter Reeves (Caboose)                                                                        Notes: Proshot, Quality is just alright, but there are separate cameras for the race scenes, which look great.
1988 | Bochum |
Steven M Skeels (Rusty), Maria J Hyde (Pearl), Trevor M Georges (Greaseball), Eric Clausell (Electra), Natalie Howard (Dinah), Trevor M Georges (Papa), Carol Hoffman (Buffy), Roslyn Howell (Ashley), Hans Johansson (Caboose), Garry Noakes (Dustin), Michael Rivera (Flattop), Wilton Anderson (Krupp), Christopher Todd (Purse), Janina Baucke (Joule), Louise Conte (Wrench), Leesa Osborn (Volta), Jens Klarskov (Ruhrgold), Hansgeorg Gantert (Turnov), Frido Ruth (Espresso), Allan Edwards (Bobo), Ric Mount (Hashamoto)                                                Notes: Pro-shot press rehearsal
September 8, 1996 | Las Vegas |
Greg Ellis (Rusty), Dawn Marie Church (Pearl), Ron DeVito (Greaseball)  Notes: Last show of the 1995-1996 cast. Pro-shot, filmed with one camera for the cast and crew. Repaired audio.
Now I don’t want this post to get taken down, so I can’t link it here. If you want the list, DM me and I’ll send it to you as soon as I can! I’ll keep the gifting open until Nov 10, and I don’t intend to open it again, so ask me while you can!

Culver hole at Port Eynon bay, Gower, Wales, a 15 minute drive from home. To enter from ground level ( when the tide is out) you have to lie on your back and pull yourself under the arch, not for the claustrophobic...

WORST MOVIES OF 2020
1.     Angry Asian Murder Hornets Director: Dustin Ferguson Cast: Clint Beaver, Jarad Allen, Elizabeth Barstow Critic’s Notes: There have been many cheap COVID-exploitation movies that popped out last year. And this is perhaps the worst since its less-than-80-minutes running time is filled with disconnected old trailers and ads.   2.     Artemis Fowl Director: Kenneth Branagh Cast: Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozie. Colin Farrell, Judi Dench Critic’s Notes: Eion Colfer’s YA series is an intriguing antihero’s journey. So, of course, Disney butchered its adaptation with a hastily packaged fantasy that diluted Artemis’ menacing personality and failed capturing its “Die Hard with fairies” setup.   3.     Bobbleheads The Movie Director: Kirk Wise Cast: Cher, Jennifer Coolidge, Hala Finley, Karen Fukuhara, Khary Payton, Julian Sands, Brenda Song, Luke Wilson Critic’s Notes: From the producers of Foodfight. It is what you expect. But this is more painful to watch, as it contains the most nightmare-inducing final dance scene in an animated movie.   4.     Dolittle Director: Stephen Gaghan Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen, Emma Thompson, Rami Malek, John Cena, Kumail Nanjiani, Octavia Spencer, Tom Holland, Craig Robinson, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Marion Cotillard, Jason Mantzoukas Critic’s Notes: With cast and prestige like that, one can expect a true Oscar caliber. However, it is in a family adventure bomb with an embarrassed Downey Jr. phoning it in.   5.     Fantasy Island Director: Jeff Wadlow Cast: Michael Peña, Maggie Q, Lucy Hale, Austin Stowell, Jimmy O. Yang, Ryan Hansen, Portia Doubleday, Michael Rooker Critic’s Notes: Blumhouse’s take on the classic Ricardo Montalban TV series does not bear its charm or subtleties. Instead, expect a snore-worthy version of Truth Or Dare.   6.     Force of Nature Director: Michael Polish Cast: Emile Hirsch, Kate Bosworth, Mel Gibson, David Zayas, Stephanie Cayo Critic’s Notes: Force of Nature makes The Hurricane Heist look like The Impossible. And the presence of one Mel Gibson makes it a droning sit.   7.     Homeward Director: Michael Johnson Cast: Joey Lawrence, James Cullen Bressack, Kim Little, D.C. Douglas, Dylan Vox, Jamey Rimawi, Tom Green Critic’s Notes: Of course, The Asylum is active in bringing mockbusters. And out of their animated rip-offs, Homeward bears the most egregious resemblance to its superior source, Onward.   8.     Songbird Director: Adam Mason Cast: KJ Apa, Sofia Carson, Craig Robinson, Bradley Whitford, Peter Stormare, Alexandra Daddario, Paul Walter Hauser, Demi Moore Critic’s Notes: This is Michael Bay’s COVID-exploitation movie. So, it obviously contains numbing action scenes and tedious subplots in-between. Plus, given the situation, Songbird is tasteless.   9.     The Last Days of American Crime Director: Olivier Megaton Cast: Édgar Ramírez, Michael Pitt, Anna Brewster, Patrick Bergin, Sharlto Copley Critic’s Notes: There have been many movies last year that were released in bad timing. This actioner that glorifies its lawless violence is one of them. And it is best left rotting.
10.  The Last Thing He Wanted Director: Dee Rees Cast: Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck, Rosie Perez, Edi Gathegi, Mel Rodriguez. Toby Jones, Willem Dafoe Critic’s Notes: A pure disappointment, given the huge talent on and behind the camera, The Last Thing He Wanted adapted an enriching source material about journalism and does nothing with it. Ironically, the title is enough a sign. Dishonorable Mentions: Christmas in the Rockies, Come Away, A Fall From Grace, Hillbilly Elegy, Wild Mountain Thyme

Darkly Dreaming Dexter, by Jeff Lindsay (a genial serial killer hunting his own kind)
Scream!
#Murdertrending by Gretchen McNeil(dark humor and a creatively high body count)
The Last Final Girl, by Stephan Graham Jones (slasher flick final girl showdown)
The Witch
The Daylight Gate, by Jeanette Winterson (17th century witch trials in a mist-haunted town)
The Turn of the Screw, by Henry James (creepy children and slow and ominously building tension)

Labyrinth Lost, by Zoraida Cordova (excitable family plus reluctant spell craft equals interdimensional disaster)
The Witches of Eastwick, by John Updike (charming magic in a picturesque town gets spooky) 
Crimson Peak
Wild Fell, by Michael Rowe (a new homeowner is no match for old ghosts)
