No plays for a while now, Broadway is on hold.
Is there a filmed version of Aida? I had looked before, but didn't see one. I had gone to see the last night of it's run at a local outdoor theater, but it got rained out not even halfway through. I really enjoyed the first part of the musical, and have been disappointed ever since that I never got to see the rest. I've read the synopsis and know all that happens, but I still want to see the story play out.
I'm a big musical theatre fan, so I think I've seen just about every filmed production of Broadway musicals. I got my love of theatre from my grandmother, so I watched all the older films with her.
I'm excited about Hamilton coming to Disney+ in a few weeks, especially since it was filmed while the original cast was still on Broadway. I've seen it twice on stage, and have probably listened to the original cast recording hundreds of times over the past few years.

I don't think there is a filmed version of Aida. It was really, really good - sets & costumes. My sister got tickets
from work and when we got there - we had no idea that Monkee, Micky Dolenz was in it playing an evil king.
We grew up watching Monkee re-runs. He sang two good songs.
I never saw Hamilton. I hear it's really good. I know a few people who saw Wicked and they weren't too
crazy about it.
Not sure this belongs in the Movies subforum, but I'll play along.
On Broadway:
Miss Saigon (twice)
Wicked
Mary Poppins
Promises, Promises
Annie

When I was a child, I kept asking my mother what she'd seen on Broadway, and I couldn't understand why she didn't remember. Of course, as I eventually found out, there is so much going on at any one time, there's no reason anyone would remember.
Unlike you, I'm not much interested in musicals, espeically not newer ones. In fact, I'm sorry now that I haven't made more of a point of seen Sondheim productions.
But some memorable things were Ralph Fiennes' Hamlet, Janet McTeer's A Doll House, Arcadia, and King Charles III.
Oh, what we've seen live, not a filmed production. Gotcha.
I've only been to New York twice so haven't seen too many on Broadway. I saw
Rent
Thoroughly Modern Milly
Urine Town
Into the Woods
42nd Street

There are more. We do season tickets to the Fox Theater here and missed so many this year. I was really sad that I got Hamilton tickets for my parents anniversary and it was, of course, cancelled. They had been so excited.

How was Beautiful? Carole King songs? I would like to see Come from Away. My brother & a cousin saw it
and enjoyed it.
Not a play but I saw and highly recommend Riverdance!
