Bially, do you mean movie adaptations (Chicago) or musicals that were simply filmed in a theatre (Sunday In The Park With George)?

Have you check Broadwayarchive? Not much in way of musicals, but plenty of classic plays.

Yes, they were. I got the first one as a gift this past Christmas, the second one I bought a couple of years ago. I don't have the third, but I've seen it on Amazon.com.

Pirates of Penzance from Shakespeare in Central Park. It's worth having for Patricia Routledge's Ruth.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I believe all broadway shows are filmed for historical documentation. And they are held in archives at the lincoln center library i think.

Yes, they are, but you can only see them if you have a specific reason to do so, i.e. research. The average person cannot just walk into the library and ask to see any particular tape.
