1992 - Long Beach/Los Angeles, California. National Tour Highlights. For DIE HARDS only. I'd love to meet the person that taped this show. Not only are there cuts within some songs, but two of the biggest numbers ("Stars" and "Bring Him Home") are missing. I can furnish a full list of all the cuts on request.

28 September 1996 - Broadway. Incomplete as I only have disc one. If you like Evan, you'll like this. If you're like me and think he's way overrated, then you can probably skip this for a better (and complete) cast. Currently 1 CD.

22 May 2002 - Broadway. McVey and Mahowald are a great pairing. Finale has a skip in it, so I can substitute the finale from 24 August 2002 as it is basically the same cast. Also, there is a group of school kids in the audience that scream and giggle every time Gavroche gets shot. Pretty funny, actually.

29 May 1999 - Washington, DC. National Tour. There are no less than 5 different cast listings for this one floating around, but I believe this cast list is the correct one. Bring Him Home is missing (looks like the taper covered up to avoid getting caught). Decent picture, but showing its age.
