→‎Trivia: Self-contradictory; if Jay Goede/Philip Bartlett also reprised the role of Mewtwo, Maddie Blaustein can't be the only cast member to reprise her role (and excluding Ohtani, Lillis and Haigney is speculative anyway).

-* Dee Roscioli and Patrick Frankfort, who portray Delia and the Professor in the original English version of the production, were notably in a romantic relationship. This is referenced by Ash telling Professor Oak, "Don't bring my mom home too late!" Roscioli would later move on to play Elphaba in the Chicago and Broadway productions of ''{{wp|Wicked (musical)|Wicked}}''.
+* Dee Roscioli and Patrick Frankfort, who portray Delia and the Professor in the original English version of the production, were in a romantic relationship. This is referenced by Ash telling Professor Oak, "Don't bring my mom home too late!" Roscioli would later move on to play Elphaba in the Chicago and Broadway productions of ''{{wp|Wicked (musical)|Wicked}}''.
-* According to the Playbill like program of the show, [[Ikue Ohtani]] and [[Maddie Blaustein]] reprized their roles of {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{MTR}} respectively, the only two actors from the anime to do so. However, considering Ikue's role in the dub is just a reuse of her vocal work in the Japanese version and that this show is US produced, it's doubtful she actually recorded lines for the show. It's more likely the producers just reused audio clips from the anime to voice Pikachu. This, along with the fact that Meowth says lines that he never said in the anime, means that Maddie Blaustein is likely the only actor from the anime cast to reprise her role from the anime and actually contribute a new performance for the show, although, a behind the stage member of the show has confirmed, in the comments of a YouTube video, that Ikue Ohtani came to the rehearsals of the show.
+* According to the show's program, [[Ikue Ohtani]], [[Maddie Blaustein]] and Jay Goede reprised their roles of {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}} and Mewtwo respectively. Goede is credited by his real name in Pokémon Live! instead of his stage name, Philip Bartlett, which was used in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Jigglypuff and Psyduck's voices are uncredited but are possibly archive recordings of [[Rachael Lillis]] and [[Michael Haigney]], respectively. No other voice actors are known to have reprised their roles from the anime in this production.
-** The only other credited voice actor, Jay Goede, reprized the role of {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} he previously played in [[M01|the first movie]], even though this time he is credited with his real name instead of his stage name Philip Bartlett. Some trailers of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' (which premiered in 2001, halfway through the show's run) include lines played by Goede in this musical, even though in  ''Mewtwo Returns'' Mewtwo's voice is played by [[Dan Green]].
-** While {{p|Jigglypuff}} and {{p|Psyduck}} appear in the show as costumed characters and have actors listed for wearing the suits, there are no listed voice actors. Considering they just said their names like in the show, archive recordings of [[Rachael Lillis]] as Jigglypuff and [[Michael Haigney]] as Psyduck were most likely used.
 * Dennis Kenney, the actor who portrayed Brock, appeared as a host in the [[Pokémon Insider: The Video|Pokémon Insider promotional video]]. The video includes a clip of himself (in character as Brock) performing the song [[Two Perfect Girls]].
 * Both Pokémon Insider and [[Pokémon.com]] at the time claimed Pokémon Live! was to be aired on television and released on home video in the United States, but no such broadcast or release ever occurred.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20011019041628/http://www.pokemon.com:80/events/live.html  Pokémon Live! - ''Pokémon.com (archived)'']</ref> Producer Chris Mitchell later confirmed that a high definition professional recording was indeed made.
