Is this show being filmed today? I saw a ton of equipment being brought into the Hayes this morning. Would love to see this end up on Netflix or something.

I remember Heidi saying to me at the stage door that it’s being filmed, though if for anything beyond the Lincoln Center Archives I’m not entirely sure.

I know she’s invested in planning the tour and adapting the material for actresses in future runs when it tours in the coming year

It's most likely for the Lincoln Center Archives.  If it were for anything else, we likely would have heard - but of course, anything is possible.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

The show was taped for the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive (TOFT) last fall at the NY Theatre Workshop. It's not being recorded for the archive a second time, so whatever is taking place this week is for some other purpose.

Almost certain it’s for Netflix, and how perfect would that be!

Well, that IS exciting!

This is going to be a massive hit online. I hope they don’t wait until the tour is over to release it, like they are with Mike Birbiglia’s New One, but either way - incredible!

The New One was filmed for eventual release?

They did record the last two shows according to dangeresque49 here  

https://www.broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.php?page=2&thread=1117923

And since Birbiglia has already a few specials with Netflix, I don't see why they would have recorded his last few specials to put to Netflix, but not his new one.

Makes sense, thanks for the link to the thread! I’ll take a look.

And looks like BWW officially reported on the filming of Constitution.
