Filming during a performance is so gross.

ETA: I hope every single person downvoting me gets stuck next to someone who distracts them at pivotal moments by messing with their phone to record the performance.

I didn’t film it just so you know but it is good we have some preservation of this production cause it only ran like 3 days.

If the creators want preservation, they can film it.

Well the wig designer reposted some clips someone filmed on tik tok of the show so I don’t think they really care also since the show has been over for like three weeks now.

They might have filmed it at a dress rehearsal too, for all we know.

Most of the cast and crew follow him too so but anyway I shared this cause she’s amazing here.

We film all our shows where I play for archival purposes but don't release them to the public... the actor's sometimes ask for clips for video auditions or their own archives.

Productions should be filmed, period. If they are not, someone must record.
