Great Comet | Broadway | December 29, 2016 | VOB | SJ Bernly's master

Cast: Denée Benton (Natasha), Josh Groban (Pierre), Brittain Ashford (Sonya), Grace McLean (Marya D.), Lucas Steele (Anatole), Amber Gray (Hélène), Manik Choksi (Dolokhov), Gelsey Bell (Mary/Opera Singer/Maidservant), Nicholas Belton (Andrey Bolkonsky), Paul Pinto (Balaga)

Notes: "Fantastic and powerful performances from the whole cast. This is as nicely captured as can be expected from this show. There are several set pieces that obstruct the view of the action in certain places. There are about fourteen minutes of blackouts: most of the first seven minutes of act one, one and a half minutes of The Private and Intimate Life of the House, one minute of The Ball, three minutes of Balaga, one minute of The Abduction, and a couple other quick dropouts. It's filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans."
