In one of the articles, I complimented a production of Robert Ford’s Girl Band in the Men’s Room as being “the most realistic rock-related show” of three I’d seen in a single night, “without plucking a single live note.” This was technically true of the stage performance, but a cast member/co-producer of Girl Band in the Men’s Room soon emailed me to point out that a promo video had been made for the show, featuring the four lead actresses and studio musicians.

Another of the shows I caught that same night, Charlie! The Death of Nancy Fullforce by Jasten King, has so many preview, rehearsal, promotional and other videos on YouTube that if you strung them together they’d almost run as long as the show itself.
