Picture is mostly clear and very sharp, although does show some slight signs of breaking up, especially if there is a lot of motion on stage. Some heads do block the very front lip of the stage and there are a few black outs plus some searching around for the action but that's to be expected from this high energy show. Sound though is near perfect throughout. Disc is authored to a high standard with full song indexing, plus an added title containing scans of the Playbill from the performance. This revival of the show started preview on 6th March and would open officially on 31st March 2009 and includes all the things that make the show great, from the interaction with teh audience, simplistic staging (there's no real set), and, before anyone asks, the imfamous, nude scene at the end of act one.
