Like I would be totally fine if they waited until a certain time after it was performed live, that way it doesnβt cut into their profits for tickets.
But after that time, PLEASE, release it!
I would buy a copy of so many musicals if they released them. In fact, didnβt they recently do some investigation and saw that releasing them would make people interested in the musical and those that CAN go see it live, will usually go see it live?
And yep. Not even just for the people that doesnβt have musicals where they live, not just for those that canβt afford it, but also for the people that are disabled and canβt physically go.
All of these and more of plenty of reasons why they should film the musicals and release it for the public.
I LOVE musicals, but I donβt get to see them because of all 3 things I listed as reasons. For living somewhere we donβt have musicals, to not being able to afford it and more importantly to being physically disabled and not being able to go even IF I could afford it.
The theaters are not always very handicapped accessible for βcommonβ disabled people, like those in wheelchairs(Iβm sure some places are but most of those buildings are old, so it wouldnβt be the best even though Iβm sure they tried the best they could), and even if they are handicapped accessible to a certain extent, that doesnβt really help those like me that are on oxygen and ventilators.
I got to see and enjoy musicals like Legally Blonde, Falsettos, etc, because someone was nice enough to record them. Even if itβs not the greatest of quality. Itβs still better than nothing and Iβm sooo appreciative of those that record them.
BUT YES, PLEASE RECORD AND RELEASE MUSICALS.
PEOPLE YEARN FOR MUSICALS!!
And YES TO TAGS! A streaming Service of just musicals would be great, though I would want a physical copy too, but I wouldnβt be picky. I would be just happy enough to just be able to stream it.
