#Proshots

[azural83]

It's not too late to cancel the wicked movie and to give us a proshot instead

After all the talk of slime tutorials on here, I have been reminded of the general consensus that there should be more professional recordings of shows. So I would like to ask what shows actually do have proshots?

As for proshots that come to my mind now, I know Hamilton and Legally Blonde have somewhat well known proshots, Heathers got one not too long ago, and quite a few classics have recordings that were aired on PBS way back when (PBS ought to do that more often these days). I also think Cats has one and Les Mis and Phantom have those staged concerts that kind of fit the bill.

Hmm, good question! First, what counts as a proshot? 🤔 Are we only talking films of staged shows, and not movies/adaptations? So, for example, the Producers movie wouldn't be considered a proshot even though it's got the two Broadway stars and was overall quite faithful to the show? And are we not talking something like Encanto Live?

The ones I can think of offhand not on your list are Spongebob Squarepants, Newsies, By Jeeves, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat, whatever else ALW released during the pandemic to watch that I don't recall, and Into the Woods. If we're talking concerts, there's Sweeney Todd and Chess.

After that, I'd have to start cheating by looking up PBS's Great Performances episode list or things like Live from Lincoln Center.

Anyone got any other recs?

Note: As a personal ask, as y'all answer this please don't get too in depth on where you might find these to watch these days. This blog is meant to be about musical recommendations, not piracy recs. And it's nice to support theater with actual money when you can.

I realise I'm late to the party on this one, but:

I need more proshots. No more turning musicals into movies. I swear if they make a Hadestown musical movie I will scream. We don't want another Into the Woods. Please. Just give us the proshots.

I miss the musical feeling, the emotional journey I used to have while watching the musicals. The newer musicals or even musical movies don't have the same feel to it ,is it me who changed ???

Experience Popular Musicals at Home: Proshots of Hamilton, Heathers and More!

Whether you’ve fallen short to cost of living, have other commitments, or simply don’t have the time anymore, I think we can all agree that it’s getting more and more difficult to take a trip to London (or anywhere else you are in the world), to see your favourite show. Thanks to the 21st Century however, musical theatre is becoming increasingly more accessible, with more shows becoming…

Can anyone send me the American in Paris proshot from 2018? I just realized how good that musical is and I'm really desperate.

Im so glad i bought the bonus features for these shows. There are so many neat smaller moments you don’t get to see in the proshot. For instance:

Ow- oh wait im into it
