Is this show being filmed today? I saw a ton of equipment being brought into the Hayes this morning. Would love to see this end up on Netflix or something.
Filming at What the Constitution Means to Me?

I remember Heidi saying to me at the stage door that it’s being filmed, though if for anything beyond the Lincoln Center Archives I’m not entirely sure.
I know she’s invested in planning the tour and adapting the material for actresses in future runs when it tours in the coming year

It's most likely for the Lincoln Center Archives. If it were for anything else, we likely would have heard - but of course, anything is possible.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

The show was taped for the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive (TOFT) last fall at the NY Theatre Workshop. It's not being recorded for the archive a second time, so whatever is taking place this week is for some other purpose.

Almost certain it’s for Netflix, and how perfect would that be!

This is going to be a massive hit online. I hope they don’t wait until the tour is over to release it, like they are with Mike Birbiglia’s New One, but either way - incredible!

The New One was filmed for eventual release?

They did record the last two shows according to dangeresque49 here
https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?page=2&thread=1117923
And since Birbiglia has already a few specials with Netflix, I don't see why they would have recorded his last few specials to put to Netflix, but not his new one.

Makes sense, thanks for the link to the thread! I’ll take a look.
And looks like BWW officially reported on the filming of Constitution.

Any word on this? Do they need to do more taping, or is there any buzz/rumor about them releasing it soon? I hope it comes out in October or closer to election.

They didn’t film it. It was postponed. I hope this materializes eventually.

They did film it during the Broadway run. What they canceled were pick up shots on a soundstage that were intended to augment the original filming.
