r/BootlegGifts

When the first word in a show is the word The and you are organizing those recordings you ignore the word "the" in the title and sort it with the letter that begins the following word. For example; The Rocky Horror Show goes under R. ...The Phantom of the Opera is filed under P. Encora does this automatically.

I recently added La Cage aux Folles and Encora filed it with the shows starting with C as it should because the first word in the title is La which in French means "the". But then I added Les Miserables to my collection and it is filed with the shows beginning with the letter L even though the word "Les" in French also means "the". If the others are filed with the word following "the" why isn't Les Miserables filed with the M's??

I don't speak French so is there some linguistic difference between La and Les which would make this make sense?

Hello, everybody! :)

I, as a Jonathan Groff and Gavin Creel fan, have made it a personal mission (wish) to see as much theatre/concerts/etc. with these wonderful actors as possible. If anybody wanted to trade a bit, no matter how obscure a piece, I would be over the moon...I already have a couple titles but I would love to see/hear more. I can dm my own list to anybody - it's not too long, unfortunately, as I am quite a beginner at this - but I would appreciate anything JG and GC related that I don't have yet...and hopefully you'd find something you can enjoy from my list too! I hope you all have a nice day!

hello all! i would like to ask if theres any available bootleg for hadestown proshot? im from the philippines and sadly theyre not going to screen the proshot here.. if theres any master that i need to contact just lmk! thank u all and appreciate it!

Hello, I’m sorry if this is not allowed I am not big a theater person and know nothing about the expected etiquette in the bootleg community. I’m just a really big Sadie Sink fan and really want to watch this production as I’ve heard it’s quite good. If someone would be willing to send me their video of it I would greatly appreciate it. I unfortunately have nothing to trade because I literally just want to watch this one thing.

Again sorry if this is not allowed or considered rude, I literally only created a Reddit account for this one thing. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

My kingdom for a horse! Requesting the play mentioned on the tin.

(First post here, don't have a fancy spreadsheet or nothin', but I do have an assortment of bootlegs and pro shots on the ol' hard drive.)

Does anyone have Cynthia Erivo in Color Purple? Very new to Reddit and have been looking for a good version of this for years.

Hello! I’m completely new to this. I’ve spent way too long researching and thinking about getting into this, and I think I’m ready. I’m looking for some freebie gifts. Not much, just enough to get me off the ground. I’m also open to tips if there‘s something you think I should know about this, anything helps! Thanks!

hi! i've been a theater nerd for years and have been terrified of joining this community for ages lmaoo. everyone here seems nice but other spaces have seemed kind of hostile! is there any chance someone could gift me something to start my collection? :)

I'm new to trading so my list is still small! https://docs.google.com/document/d/15NerASExMbNDUffTF8pOcakrBqLShtD4Jdp-M7nnaas/edit?usp=drivesdk

Hello! I'm relatively new to trading and am looking to increase my collection! Any trades or gifts are extremely appreciated :)

Here's my Encora profile, and here's a Google Sheets list of my collection if that's easier for anyone!

Hi :) Yes, as the title says I’m yet another person new to trading! I’ve read both guides and feel like I have a solid grasp on trading etiquette now. I just wanted to ask if any kind person would be willing to gift to get my collection started?

For now I only have a Falsettos pro shot that is around 11 GB, and a Miss Saigon pro shot that is 12 GB, I’m willing to trade with them if anyone wants it!

This community seems really nice and supportive to me so far, and I would really like to be part of it :))

I've tried looking through the information on encora itself but I can't seem to find a definition. Can I trade for things that are "sales only" or do I have to buy them (from the master or any other person?)?

Hello all! I'm very new to actually trading after hovering around the community for the past few years. I was wondering if anyone might be willing to gift any boots so I can start to grow my collection & actually trade. Anything would be greatly appreciated and would mean a lot. much love to you all 💞‼️

I just wanted to share my list to see if anyone is interested in trading im really trying to get into it!!!

Please let me know.if you see anything that interests you or if u have something in my wants!

My list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oIbAeE0LBELK6h4bdmmG3VRcQElkRRcEu4IKtzLL\_Rs/edit?usp=drivesdk

Back again in my ignorance! I've done too much trading with too little organization. If you have any info on these recordings ESPECIALLY masters and casts, please reach out to me! Thanks in advance!
