- Cast information unknown.
- It's performed in a pretty small theatre and seems to be shot by a crew member. There's an about 10-minutes clip of performers in their dressing room and rehearsal. One or two performers have trouble hitting high notes, but overall totally acceptable. "Fromme" and "Moore" are absolutely an adorable pair here.
- Some generation loss and buzzing sound when there's nobody talking or singing, a common problem happened with most old videos.
