| That this filming will happen than broadway opening nights happening in May. The quarantine before filming is tough but not impossible. It’s been done before to varying success. And Netflix has the money to fund those types of costs that other entities may not. Back in April, I was very positive that this would be gone by now and broadway would start in October. I’m now seeing the light and don’t think it will happen until next fall. Getting a vaccine is only the first step that will take months to implement for large amounts of people to get before groupings. Getting 50 people quarantined a few weeks for filming is a lot more realistic. |

| But it is not just 50 people, and doing this in a Broadway theatre is on a collision course with the state's very specific rules. E.g., distancing in dressing rooms. Doing this at a studio is (relatively) easy; doing it in the Longacre is not. (Oh, and there are very specific and very limited permitting allowances for trucks, streets, sidewalks, etc built into the rules.) Re Ann's question about Netflix, I would very much expect that they are paying for the rights, not financing it. (I also expect this will blow through whatever budget is imagined.) And we are not talking Hamilton here. |

| If all of the people are quarantined and tested, there's no need at all for distancing. | |

| are you under the impression that they are going to quarantine everyone? or just the actors? I am having trouble wrapping my head around the former. And if they are not, then we are talking masks and distancing except on stage. (BTW I don't think the state guidelines contemplate quarantine, though I assume that could be worked out, all things being equal.) But as I said, we shall see. | |

| For the Tyler Perry shoot: We got [cast and crew] down to 360 people, and we all moved in and we just finished our first television show successfully with no positives throughout the quarantine bubble," he said. The cost: $18 million. So, filming this wouldn't take as long, and there aren't as many people, but the quarantine I would think would be the same length. |

| Yes, I'm under the impression everyone on stage or in the pit will be quarantined. It's not a big deal. | |

| there is mention of performers showing up "camera ready" in the guidelines. I work in advertising & we have actually started small productions again in the state. Maybe they'll only shoot a few scenes per day? |

| The article says Netflix film. I only recently got their streaming service and I’m surprised at how much original nextflix series are on there. They could easily afford the few million to do this. Also ryan Murphy is directing the funded Netflix production of Prom so I wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix is expanding into musicals. Ryan Murphy was also going to do Feud with Diana for fx before moving to Netflix so maybe he has something to do with this behind the scenes. | |

| There's a side range of ways Netflix can be doing this, from licensing to fully producing. If they were fully producing, would they film it in a theater? I can't believe they're that jealous of Disney. |

| Even if they are jealous of Disney, I cannot believe Diana would be the show they'd choose to exercise said jealousy. | |

| Most major news outlets are now reporting it, so I’m sure everything you’re apparently worried about has been not only taken into account but already approved. Besides there’s already a template for this: earlier this summer Tyler Perry already filmed not one but two complete seasons of his currently running TV shows - in one case, filming 22 episodes in 11 days. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tyler-perry-talks-camp-quarantine-challenges-filming-a-pandemic-1304909 If that could be accomplished with low risk and no outbreaks, then it should be not only plausible but entirely practical (if not exactly simple) for one already-written and largely-rehearsed stage show to pull it off. |

| I watched a televised piece on the Tyler Perry thing and it wasn't an easy thing, and seemed very expensive (like the NBA example). Not sure that's practical. It very well may happen, but taking things into account doesn't mean it will work. It does give them good publicity, though, and maybe that's worth it. Of course, it only takes one person to ruin the whole thing. |

| Instinct I guess; I certainly don't know. AEA has been mentioned but what about the other unions? Are we quarantining stagehands, dressers, makeup, camera people and all the other film production types, etc etc? Have they all signed off on this? Knowing the lead producers, I am not ready to assume everything has been done and that they have not just jumped the gun. Finally, there is a huge difference in filming Tyler Perry and a Broadway musical in an ancient theatre with everything in close quarters. So yes for now I want to be skeptical. Maybe they will prove me wrong and everyone can remind me when it wraps. :-) | |
