the fact that hamilton, which is arguably one of the biggest pieces of media in the past decade, is getting a professional release is a big deal. this is a huge step for making theatre more accessible for everyone.

like, for $10 (the average price of a movie ticket) you could watch the proshot of hamilton, with the original broadway cast. you could see the original broadway cast of hamilton for $10 dollars. you’re literally paying a hamilton to see hamilton. and you don’t need to worry about sitting in a rear mezzanine seat or having an obstructed view, since it’s a proshot.

and, since disney is producing it, they’ll most likely release it on DVD or on disney+ in the future. this is a huge step forward in making accessible theatre. you could watch hamilton multiple times a week (or multiple times a day!) for a low price.

It’s unfortunate that this is a Disney release, but I need to ask a favor of every person who wants to watch it:

DON’T PIRATE. PAY THE TEN BUCKS.

Musical theatre aficionados have been fighting for YEARS for this to be a regular thing. As far as I know, it’s only been done a handful of times: the final performance of RENT, the 10th and 25th anniversaries of Les Mis, the 25th anniversary of Phantom of the Opera, and there are a few “on a stage but reblocked and edited for video” shows like Cats, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar 2000, and Into The Woods. We have been FIGHTING for general releases of shows. This is an actual theatre industry thing.

You may notice something about the shows I listed above: only three of them aren’t Andrew Lloyd Webber shows. Love him or hate him, he’s a huge advocate for the idea that theatre should be accessible and preserved for the historic record; he actually arranged for a proshot of Love Never Dies on the basis that he was pretty sure it WASN’T going to be playing for very long, and future theatre fans who wanted to see it for any reason should have access to it. Webber has been in this industry since 1969. When a man with that kind of resume says “yes, this needs to be a thing,” it’s a fair bet he knows a thing or two of what he’s talking about. It’s one reason I love Webber: yeah, some of his shows are kind of questionable quality, but he’s on the fans’ side here.

(Also, I feel the need to defend him against the new CATS. He arranged the 1998 stage-but-edited version that was pretty good. He was PISSED about the 2019 version long before it was released.)

So basically: if you’re not a Webber fan, you’re screwed. If you ARE a Webber fan but you also want to see cool stuff like the bilingual version of West Side Story or the production of Fiddler on the Roof that was partly in Yiddish, you’re screwed. If you want to see cult classics that weren’t around long, like Spring Awakening or Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark (or, for the REALLY obscure: Chess or Bat Boy), you’re screwed. If you want to see shows that were reasonably successful but require a huge budget and so don’t get put on often, like Aida and Little Shop of Horrors, you’re screwed. If you want to see shows that require a budget SO huge that no community theatre no matter how well-endowed will ever be able to afford them, like Wicked? YOU’RE SCREWED.

I am begging you. BUY HAMILTON. DON’T PIRATE. This is a fight 30+ years old and buying it will help demonstrate that YES, there is an entire audience outside New York ready and willing to buy in; YES, it’s worth the outlay of cash to do these recordings and mix and edit them; and, and understand I am saying this as a Webber and Les Mis fan, RECORDINGS THAT ARE NOT LES MIS OR ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER ARE WORTH RELEASING.

Help us fight the good fight and make professional theatre available to everyone. BUY HAMILTON. DO NOT PIRATE. YES, EVEN THOUGH IT’S A DISNEY RELEASE. YES, EVEN THOUGH NON-PROFESSIONAL RECORDINGS EXIST.

This is important. As a theatre advocate I cannot stress HOW important. If you follow me, you know I’m all in favor of things like streaming services and breaking up the Disney monopoly. But in this, my loyalty has to lie with a fight I joined in 2005 that was going on when I was still smelling markers in kindergarten.

If you have any interest in seeing Hamilton, no matter how casual, buy it. Please.

(And while you’re at it: support your local community theatre. Most community theatres put on great shows on a very tiny budget and could, I say this totally unironically, use your $5-10 donation. It adds up and it helps keep the lights on.)

As someone who knows nothing about She-Ra reboot but keeps seeing the freakout over catdora, I’m curious about why you dislike it. Personally I don’t care for it either but that’s cause I don’t watch it lol but spill the tea sis I love controversial takes 👀

I just don’t think there’s anything romantic about 4 seasons straight of someone literally trying to viciously torture and murder someone else that they’re apparently secretly in love with
