| 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. :-) | |
