Overview
- Sony Pictures Classics is releasing the pro-shot nationwide on Dec. 5, with a rollout to 1,500 cinemas.
- The film preserves the Tony-winning 2023–24 Broadway revival, starring Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez.
- Friedman treats the recording as a film, emphasizing close-ups and a Franklin-focused perspective rather than a traditional wide-stage document.
- Footage was assembled from multiple live performances and additional audience-free tapings at the Hudson Theatre in June 2024.
- The release highlights growing interest in high-quality stage captures as RadicalMedia backs the production, even as Richard Linklater’s decades-long separate adaptation continues in development.
