  • Wow, wow, wow! I saw this production with Donny Osmond and Janet Metz in 1993 as part of a school trip. Thank you so much for posting!
  • Best production ever. Saw it when it first opened on Broadway and the Canadian production rules.Same with our Cats and Phantom.Thanks for bringing back great memories.

    The Canadian cast is by far my favorite out of the early 90s revivals, and Metz is fantastic in this. I did not expect to see a full live taping of this specific performance, thanks for sharing!

    I’ve watched/listened to this video a ridiculous number of times, and I'm still not tired of it. Thanks for uploading!
  • Thank you for sharing this gem 💙. A revival that just sparks joy for me. And while I’ve always loved the unique Janet Metz (on record, & live in other works), I’m IN. AWE. of her performance here. What a fully realized storyteller & powerhouse. I can’t get enough…
  • As a Canadian, I can confirm that this is indeed the Canadian production. This is the Edmonton leg of the tour. My high school drama teacher saw this leg of the tour. It's a lot of the same cast, but with some different cast members and understudies.

    As a Theatre kid in high school in the early 90s, my mom got the Canadian cast recording for me for Christmas. I became obsessed with Janet Metz’s vocals….the color of her voice and how she used it. When I found out the tour was going to be in Chicago for a while, my mom drove my sister and me from Minneapolis through a major blizzard to finally see this production. I was excited to see Donny Osmond, but really, it was Janet Metz that I wanted to see. When we got into the lobby, there was a sign saying that the Narrator would be played by Kelli James Chase. Now, Kelli was pretty phenomenal, but I was still somewhat bummed. I did travel 422 miles through a blizzard to see finally see Janet Metz, after all! So then I was excited to learn that the show would be coming through Minneapolis so hopefully this time I’d finally see her perform live. Turns out she had left the show by then and Kelli was moved up to main Narrator. Again, Kelli was phenomenal and I’m so glad I got to see her. What a voice and presence. However, I still never got to see Janet Metz live, and I’ve been in search of a video recording of this production for 30 YEARS! And here it is, and a good one at that! I have a poor video recording of Kelli James Chase and Donny, and also one with Sam Harris and Kristine Fraelich. But THIS is truly the one I’ve been wanting and waiting to see for so long! This might sound silly, but your posting of this recording is (inadvertently) an unexpected and incredible Christmas gift…So THANK YOU!!!

    The person filming is clearly in love with Janet Metz. LoL! Don't blame them, but some odd zooming in some numbers. Thanks for posting this!

    I knew it! This whole time! Elvis was a Pharaoh impersonator! Elvis definitely nailed Pharaoh’s mannerisms!
