What is a pro-shot and how is it different than an adapted film? Pro-shot is an abbreviation for professionally shot, denoting a stage play that was captured in its native habitat: a theatre. 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.

While it comes with a built-in 50-and-over audience, jukebox musicals run the danger of relying on nostalgia, being underperformed by its actors, and/or having a paper thin plot. BAT OUT OF HELL avoided two of those three pitfalls. As Meat Loaf, the voice behind the two albums of which the show is based, sings “Two out of three ain’t bad.”
