They have Newsies on there and I believe the reason why they filmed Aladdin was to put it on the streaming platform. Also assume the current west end revival of Mary Poppins will end up being filmed once it closes or when the current cast leaves. This might be hopeful thinking, but I believe they should think about remounting a production of hunchback just for the purpose of filming it. Or they could do it similarly to how Spongebob is going about it.
Disney now has their own platform to spread their stage works even further and I hope they use it.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

Posted: 11/15/19 at 8:18amYes. Expect a filming of Sister Act to happen and the "secret" revival of Beauty and the Beast is also happening for this purpose (hence why it won't happen on Broadway).

This secret revival- is it the one discussed earlier, rewritten to be a Finding Nemo-style multimedia spectacular with puppets rather than actors in increasingly elaborate costumes?

I remember there being an announcement a few months ago about a planned Broadway revival of BATB, is that still in the works at all?

BATB revival is happening - but from what I heard its a Broadway revival. Not sure about filming though.
Also, wondering if the current run of Mary Poppins in London will get filmed.

Posted: 11/15/19 at 9:52amHow about a revival of Tarzan in Germany with Josh Strickland again and a bilingual cast? They can perform it in German and film it in English for Disney+.
