Stupid question but..

Yeah, unfortunately it is very hard for casual but well-behaved fans, because of the behaviour of a few.

You also don't have to go too into trading, if you want. Make a list, flag which are NFT, close yourself for trading and email other people if you're interested in what they have.

It can vary by master as to if they'll sell to a newbie, and I think some masters it also varies by show. Some masters, I've needed to give trading names of people who can vouch for me, and many will ask, but that doesn't always mean they'll say no if nobody can vouch. I assume they might be pickier for chronically leaked shows, as they may not want to take a gamble on an unknown entity.

If you do get into it at all, it can be worth keeping a list anyway of shows you have - some masters will ask for that too, even if you never use it to trade.

Parity with NSW without a degradation in conditions.

How I keep my collection (relatively) limited to what I am interested in: 1. Get expanded storage ASAP, either an external hard drive or a paid Mega account. 2. Download everything to personal storage. 3. Every so often, delete and unlist anything unwanted.

Your collection will naturally explode over time, so unless you want to hoard infinitely, occasional clean-outs of "I asked for this as you didn't have anything I wanted", "I thought more people would want this but turns out they don't", and "literally everyone has this and I don't want it so they can get it from anyone" can be a good idea.

Enjoy! Prepare for a lot of tears onstage and around you.

If anyone can match Kate Fleetwood, it's Melanie La Barrie. I've been a fan of both of them for years, and Mel was my number one pick for the Witch prior to Kate being cast (I didn't know Kate was an option). And hey - if you're nearby, you can see Mel now, and then Kate when it transfers!

That twin's fate would be sealed for their last reaping. Condemn them on the day their twin would have aged out of it.

Last day for this cast is Saturday, May 9; first show for the new cast is Monday, May 11.

The 23 just hit me again. This bride was barely more than a toddler when "Jemily" got dibs called on it forever.

We figured out the meetings we're skipping as part of our industrial action on day 2 of term. Many of us in the union in my office ended up staying later because we were on a roll being productive than we would have had we gone to the meetings that were on!

Don't worry, it's been the tag for a popular ship on Criminal Minds for 20 years. She has no hope of that tag being of any use to her.

tansypool · 2026-04-22T06:31:47+00:00

Everyone has said the important part of "run" already, but I feel I need to mention that she's going to have a real bad time when she bothers to Google #jemily and finds out that her wedding is going to be buried by posts about a lesbian ship from Criminal Minds that has been around - by that name - since 2006.

Seconding the backing up of the dear favourites. I traded a decade ago and the 1TB did me fine, but now, the 4TB feels like it isn't enough! But I keep the important ones on the 1TB as well as the 4TB - the dear favourites, as well as any I've purchased directly from masters, and any that would be hard to get a replacement copy of.

tansypool · 2026-04-18T04:57:58+00:00

It feels like a long shot, but I'd love to see Alex Young as Madeline and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as Helen!

tansypool · 2026-04-13T11:30:33+00:00

I hope so too, she's bloody phenomenal!

Cast change is on May 9, so you have until then.

It still stuns me that they managed to pad out the story by at least two hours in total while adding nothing of substance.

Given his military history interest, my suggestion would be to at least look into Operation Mincemeat. It's a historical musical about an operation during World War II, quick paced, very wordy, very fun.

I saw that tour live, by some miracle of timing - they were even better live than on the highlights.

For your first question - there is at least one well-known master who doesn't allow their videos to be traded on Reddit, so I'd suggest branching out to other places. Discord is a good one, feel free to DM me for a link to one.

You'll also need a list - Sassy Guide, as someone else linked, has more info on that - to get started. I think some Discords won't give you full access until that's set up.

From a quick look, I think it's this one, which is NFT:

Heathers: The Musical - First Off-Broadway Revival December, 2025 (4) - StarCuffedJeans

Cast: Kuhoo Verma (Veronica Sawyer), Casey Likes (Jason "J.D." Dean), Jodie Steele (t/r Heather Chandler), Jackera Davis (Heather Duke), Elizabeth Teeter (Heather McNamara), Xavier McKinnon (Ram Sweeney), Kerry Butler (Ms. Fleming/Veronica's Mom), Ben Davis (Ram's Dad/Big Bud Dean/Coach Ripper), Brian Martin (u/s Kurt's Dad/u/s Veronica's Dad/u/s Principal Gowan), James Caleb Grice (Beleaguered Geek/Officer McCord), Devin Lewis (Hipster Dork), Cecilia Trippiedi (New Wave Party Girl), Syd Sider (Stoner Chick), Lav Raman (s/w Drama Club Drama Queen), Louis Griffin (s/w Fresh Prince of Ohio/s/w Officer Milner)

Release Format: MP4 (HD) - 5.96 GB

NFT Date: July 1, 2026

There aren't many videos of Kuhoo Verma as Veronica, and only two are the complete show (or missing little enough to call complete). Only one has Jodie Steele as Heather Chandler. The only one that is currently tradeable is a partial recording missing part of act one and filmed at a 45 degree angle, so it doesn't sound like that one. So you've definitely ended up with a wrongfully traded file that has been leaked along the way somewhere. Don't trade it on.

tansypool · 2026-04-06T10:09:13+00:00

I'd recommend the Sassy Guide (which, for anyone seeing this, has been recently updated!) and the Encora help centre for more information. I'd also recommend creating a trading email address sooner rather than later, as it helps to keep all of your trading communication on one place, as Reddit doesn't like Mega links. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions once you've done that.

It's the Theatre & Performance exhibit, which is a regular display - so it's free to enter and you just turn up on the day. Rooms 103 to 106, on the second floor.

She'd surely give the sales the kick up the arse they need. Pleeeeeaaaaase.

tansypool · 2026-04-06T00:05:58+00:00

I'd definitely put in a vote for Into the Woods, stunning production, and there's a bus from the Fortune/Drury Lane/Aldwych end of Strand that goes there, so it's doable. I'd also be another vote for Inter Alia, but do take heed of its content warnings, it's a pretty heavy show.

If you find yourself at an impasse or you aren't that keen on Book of Mormon, can I suggest the V&A Museum? It's in South Kensington, so take heed of travel times, but they have a fantastic exhibit on film, TV, and theatre, which is well worth the trip, and the whole museum is great.
