BARNUM - Johannesburg 1983

The video was intended as a movement study for the alternate Barnum - so there are very few wide shots and the quality is quite poor. Hopefully it may have provide some happy memories for the many who were involved.

This show was good, but man, so many things were dropped during it.

This seems like a good production, but dear good, Barnum’s actor here is just not giving it any of his all.
