I have it on good authority that the Broadway production was supposed to be filmed and then fell apart days before filming because of financing, so I’d be surprised if this turned out to be true.
That being said, I would kill for a recording of this.

That's what I was thinking - there's probably a reason The SpongeBob Musical made its proshot in the UK instead of New York, and why the proshot of Kinky Boots is of the London cast instead of the Broadway cast. I remember there was also supposed to be an Aladdin: Live from the West End made for Disney+ that seems to have fallen off the face of the Earth.

Because they insisted the white guy in Brownface be in it as the villain given that he originated the animated character 30 years ago and now the entire filmed production is tainted.

Disney forever profit driven, and inconsiderate. Truly.

And uncaring. Thier commitment to quality and sensitivity and inclusivity steadily decreasing.
It’s a shame the OBC wasn’t preserved. They were spectacular. However, attendance issues made catching the entire OBC like seeing a unicorn. Especially post Tonys.
Im still wondering what happened with the pro shot of Girl From The North Country. I’d much prefer that to a film. Mare broke my heart into a million pieces. I have no interest in Olivia Colman.

I assume GFTNC was looking for a distribute for proshot but I also wonder if the movie getting announced basically squashed it. Maybe they both will come out but it seems unlikely

Kids these days are DESPERATE to be the first to jump on even the slightest hint of political incorrectness.
A little contoured stage makeup is not going to take anyones’ rights away….. but your government might.

No, people just want them to not indulge in offensive acts that went out of style in the 70s. Theatre is the BIRTHPLACE of Black/Brown/Yellowface. Don't turn your nose up at it now like it's something crazy to comment on.
Aladdin’s ensemble has always been “as long as you sort of look brown”- ethnicities have ranged from Italian to Filipino and only occasionally have actually been Middle Eastern.
