A History of Broadway Proshots and Screen Adaptations
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - May 31, 2026

In general, a pro-shot seeks to film the exact experience that audience members would have at a live performance of the show, in contrast with a feature film which actually adapts the piece into a new form, including different locations, the removal of theatrical aesthetic, and changes to make the script work as a film as opposed to as a live theatrical show.
