The dvd that i have of the washington show is a rehearsal run through
I saw the show in the West end and i have two dvds of that show.
The West end show had an awesome train effect.It really did feel like a train was on stage due to a clever use of light and sound.
Also when The Man sets fire to the barn at the end i could feel the flames and i was about 10 rows back i think.
