| Unfortunately, it's the high-profile failures that grab attention (and sadly in the case of "Diana", since I think it's one of the best filmed stage captures I've seen). Folks aren't talking about "Come from Away", which from what I've seen is a really excellent capture of a musical that works quite well (and is another show I've not been willing to spend money on). Hopefully, we'll see a similar response to "Waitress" (one I did pay for and wouldn't see live again, but would likely watch at least some portions of the filmed version). I also like that these films are being put on streaming services rather than the big screen releases, because it makes them much more approachable, I hope that trend continues. | |

| yes there are and as Delvino says in the other post responding to me, the analysis is generally more complex than a single factor (with Diana perhaps requiring far less digging). I assume you are reacting to the "flicker" point. I think what we have been seeing in the last 18 months or so is an uncritical grab-and-go by streamers (especially but also studios) hungry for prefabricated content. It's also worth noting regarding DEH, of course, that it is somewhat different both in form and also in financing as a film. The flicker I see is that I do not expect the uncritical deal-making to continue. I don't know of course, and I have never been shy about expressing my negative feelings about filmed theatre. To me, having read his interview, I think Marshall is an enemy of the (theatre) people. | |
