In my experience with production photos (and I haven't worked at anything near the level of Broadway), they keep taking shot after shot for a couple reasons: First, the digital revolution means that the only limit they have is storage space, so why not shoot as much as possible. Second, shooting under theatrical lighting while people are singing or speaking is challenging at best. You're going to get a lot of shots where the lighting doesn't look right and/or the actors look like they're making weird faces. Best to take as many shots as possible to maximize the possibility of getting a few good ones.

yes, similar to a White House press conference - just seems to upstage the video , perhaps the performers could pose for a solid minute - and then let the videographers do their thing
