The SpongeBob musical will get a DVD release

$9.99 DVD coming in November.

Haven't seen an actual physical release of a stage musical in AGES.

Who saw THIS coming four years ago?

AEA AGMA SM said: "Is it that much more expensive to also do a Blu Ray release? It just seems that in this day and age, where we're already beginning to market 8k televisions that a DVD only release seems a little cheap, especially as, I assume, the streaming broadcast is most likely in HD and was probably shot at at least the 1080 resolution if not actually in 4k"

The target audience for this DVD is Walmart shoppers getting this at the $10 bin... Those who care about the quality will probably stream it.

I'll still buy this to support physical releases, which are extremely rare for Broadway.

LizzieCurry said: "There are still people out there without sufficient broadband for streaming. There's nothing that weird or retro about this."

Not to mention DVDs still remain popular. I think the high price of blu-rays have kept many people from switching over completely, even though blu-ray players themselves have come down in price significantly.
