From everybody-dies-at-least-once:
Andrew Scott's Hamlet: Almeida (2018)

They are also all Globe productions: MacBeth 2020, Romeo and Juliet 2009, Romeo and Juliet 2019, The Merry Wives of Windsor 2019, and The Winter's Tale 2018.
And then finally MIT has this super cool repository of performances from around the world and some of them have videos https://globalshakespeares.mit.edu/
In my (unsuccessful) quest to find The Hollow Crown, I also found a few other of the histories, so here's Richard II with Sean Connery, Richard II with Ian McKellan, and a stage play of Richard III
Also, if anyone has a version of the lockdown Romeo and Juliet mentioned above or the Olivier or McKellan Richard IIIs, the current links are broken and the productions sound very cool!
I might kiss you my friend for that work. I awoke from my slumber to find that the post had become popular again and there was way too much notes attached to it for me to read them all.
I just found this edit I made years ago

Danny devito as Erik. Boom. The trashman and sewer goblin in one.
trash goblin emerges from the opera cellars
I was at an antique store today and they had this mug that looks like ALW.
Nearly two years later, and IT IS STILL THERE
I want it.
Then I can fill that head of his with something more worthwhile than the shit he spouts out. t00t t00t!
Also, I wish he was wearing a hat…
Have a Carlotta and Beef
cause I just watched Phantom of the Paradise for the first time
and Beef is now absolutely one of my favorite adaptations of Carlotta 🤙
so i just wanted to say i LOVE the way you draw the managers!!!! please PLEASE more content of them?? if you want???
just 2 bros managing an opera house together
You mentioned that when you saw Josh as Phantom, he did something funny on the masquerade stairs that may or may not have been intentional. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in the performance we watched, so would you mind elaborating?
😂 Mind you this was the first showing of the new cast so I think he was experimenting, but he was extra hunched over and would swing his whole body just exaggerating his movements kind of like the old spooky scare thing
And then at one point he just swung around the people on his right and just did a big spook arm scare at them to freak them out
it was just exaggerated by like +120% and I heavily welcomed it In hindsight I think a lot of phantoms already do something like this, but it was just funny how he did it 😂
