this is very exciting news for those of who never got to see the original cast in person...and yes i have watched the pro-shot Disney+ presentation many many times...but seeing this on a super large movie screen with great sound will be a thrill for sure!
Curious if they’ll be removing it from Disney+ during the theatrical run.

Still crazy to me that this was released. It has obviously paid dividends for the show, but I never would've believed you when the initial hype was happening on Broadway that they would release it only a handful of years later. Kudos to them for really investing in a quality filming of this, too. Although I appreciate any pro shots we get, the cinematography on this is gorgeous and far exceeded my expectations.
Nah…I will watch this in the comfort of my own home in my wife beater and boxers and avoid paying to go see it in a movie theater with a bunch of attention whores wanting to show off and carry on and sing along with the songs when all I want to do is enjoy the show.

I think COVID had a lot to do with its early release.

Yes, that had to do with the release being earlier than initially announced, but Disney acquired the rights in February 2020 for an October 15, 2021 theatrical release. Even if the initial timeline had been followed, it's remarkable that the show would be released to the public only six years after opening on Broadway.
$80 million (was that it…?) is capable of altering a lot of traditions.
