It's unknown whether these were not shot or if they were deleted from circulating copies. This video is in the Theatre on Film and Tape (TOFT) collection of the Library of the Performing Arts in New York, though it wasn't shot for the collection.

Nobody's Bitch
The Grange
Nobody's Bitch | The Grange | 11.14.15 | Pro-Shot | MP4 (1.32 GB)
Rick Borutta (Himself, Elaine Stritch’s Assistant)
NOTES: Premiere performance at The Grange in Big Sur, CA. Nobody's Bitch tells the story of Rick Borutta’s fated meeting with famed actress Elaine Stritch and how their absurd relationship became the mirror for their inner rejected selves - both the generative and destructive forces that sent Borutta "into the forest" in search of healing, truth and alignment with the divine. This is the FIRST performance EVER of the show in front of a live audience, so Rick does take a couple of brief pauses to get himself back on track in the brief instance where he loses train of thought. Shared directly from Borutta (mainly to interested producers, etc). Posted to YouTube for a limited time.

NOTES: FOSSE CUT. Different (and longer) than the eventual TV broadcast with different angles and takes. Bob Fosse's master which he edited and returned back to the producers. Ultimately his cut was not used and he was apparently unhappy with the finished version. Generation loss and counter numbers at the bottom of the screen. Staged by Fosse’s associate Kathryn Doby, based on his original Broadway staging. Filmed in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
