Tonight’s performance of WAITRESS is being filmed. Lots of cameras and whatnots, yo.

Unfortunately I doubt it's for a proshot, most likely just for media. Hadestown reopening night looked very similar, it's not uncommon.

They were also filming (had multiple cranes) yesterday morning before Sara called out. I realize literally everything up to this point has been mere rumors or that you could be right about media (do they really need more Sara b-roll for a limited engagement though?), but my gut tells me this is absolutely going to a streaming service. Far too many rumors and inside talk about this happening over the past few months. Sara keeps hinting that “something big is coming” on her socials.

All “live” broadcasts are filmed 3 times: two with an audience and one without (for close-ups, etc). The recent revival of SHE LOVES ME did a live streamed performance but the released version used on Broadway HD and aired on PBS, etc was edited together from the 3 filmed performance. None of these “live” pro-shots use footage from a single performance.

Having only seen Sara in the role I kind of wish it was Jessie Mueller who was filmed! Her voice sounds a bit more fractured/emotive to me on the cast recording than Sara did but I completely get it. It's her show, and she is more of a star.

Yes looks like they also filmed closeups without an audience.

I saw this show back in 2019 with Stephanie Torns and Joey McIntyre, and it sounded old and stale.
Nevertheless, I’d love to see this proshot capture and give this show another chance, especially with Bareilles in the cast. Perhaps the show felt fresh again during the Barrymore run.

Omg dying from anticipation. I loved Sara's Jenna so much I saw it like five times.

There were some very very minor changes to the returning production. I loved it just as much as I did pre-shut down.

Do we know which streaming service picked this up? I know the Keri Russell film was distributed by fox, so I wonder if Disney bought the streaming rights.

Nothing has been announced at all. This was just from what Sara posted on her Instagram story. That’s it.
