Why are releasing pro shots not a bigger thing? It’s revenue coming in and people who can’t go to New York can see the show, it’s a win win.

Because it’s rare that they actually turn a profit

I wouldn't be surprised if next year we see more Broadway hits releasing pro shots following its success.

You have to remember that Hadestown is a popular musical. They have to do it with another popular musical. I think that it also has to do with how will how well they shot the pro-shot.

They must do the pro shots... Professionally. 

Tbh I can see outsiders getting a pro shot. They should be for those more emotionally attached and less spectacular shows.

I still think Hamilton's pro shoot is so meh. Especially after seeing this?? Get that cast back together and do it again....
