there are 400 films,and if you shoot it at a pushed 800 with extended time in the developer,or any good lab should be able to help.I much prefer to use Fuji or Kodak 800 color print films and let a good lab make B&W for me.
I often shoot Fuji 800 at pushed 1600 iso (asa), with a spot meter on my Nikon F5 on the performers face, at 1/30th speeds, f 2.8 or f4.Some times the lighting gives you a 1/125th at f 5.6 when they use white lights instead of colored stage effects but I will add I'm a press photog and can shoot from the stage or below not back in the seating area.Keep in mind many venues will check cameras at the door. Good Luck ! Remember to share with us the good ones!!!!
