QUESTION OF THE DAY #12: What is your opinion on theatre bootlegs? Spill as much or as little tea as you want.

MY ANSWER: it would be incredibly hypocritical of me to say there’s nothing good about them. i discovered a couple of my all time favorite shows through bootlegs, and when i was a high school/college-aged theatre nerd stuck in the midwest (which i still am, just a bit older now), they brought me a lot of comfort that i could relive my favorite shows again. that said, i can understand POVs re: they weren’t filmed with consent from the actors. however, actors who are speaking out against them need to realize that mainstream theatre needs to be made more accessible in one way or another for poor, disabled, and international theatre fans. tldr: bootlegs aren’t going to go away if celebrities disavow them, but theatre might be able to become more accessible if more of them talk on THAT instead of how evil bootlegs are.

SUMMARY OF ANSWERS: out of 41 responses: 21 were an enthusiastic heck yeah, 13 weren’t as enthusiastic but still along the lines of yeah i support them, 3 answers were like eh i can see both sides i guess/leaning towards no, and 4 people outright said nah bootlegs are not the answer. All the answers under the cut!

if you wanna fight or agree with anyone, refer to the # and send in an ask or reply to this.

also: while i agree with much of what was said under the cut, i will not come out and say which ones i agree with and what i don’t. my opinion is above and that’s all you need to know about what i think. i do not necessarily condone or agree with anything below. okay, enjoy reading.

2. Anonymous said: for the qotd: bootlegs are godsends

3. Anonymous said: oh god i literally just went on a tangent on twitter just now but bootlegs good!!!! people willingly watch blurry footage of a show bcs they want to know what the show is like, want to experience it live. bway shows arent accessable for everyone (due to prices and distance) but ppl still want to know what its like performed on stage. bootlegs literally dont harm the community. ive seen poto boots, proshots and the tour yet id willingly pay 2 watch again. boots make theatre more accessable imo !!

4. Anonymous said: Boots are good to get a glimpse of different productions? Like even despite Proshots existing of certain musicals, I'd still be curious regarding other interpretations of it! And also besides this it definitely helps make shows accessable to people who physically cannot watch the show!

5. galactic-greens said: I truly see no harm in bootlegs as long as they are treated respectfully. While the creation and consumption is technically a crime, it by no means whatsoever makes you a bad person. It's essentially documenting theatre, and ensuring generations to come will be able to experience what could have been so fleeting. They maintain a community, and as long as NFT dates, masters, and general spread of bootlegs are respected then there really can be no problem. It's just a way to immortalize the art!

6. Anonymous said: On bootlegs: oftentimes they’re the only way someone could be able to see a show, because not everyone can afford the tickets or even the cost to just go to New York for a show. However, it should be acknowledged that filming obviously in the actors’ faces is pretty rude, but at the same time bootlegs at least give a chance for people like me to see shows I might never get to see otherwise.

7. Anonymous said: I love bootlegs because I don’t have the means to be able to travel to see shows or afford tickets, i also do theater and i feel like the point of the art is to share it as much as I can

8. Anonymous said: i've never seen a large-scale live show bc they are not accessible to me. bootlegs are amazing. truly glorious.

9. Anonymous said: i understand that this is a rather unique experience, but i live in nyc, so bootlegs never measure up to the real thing for me. i know that this isn't something everyone can be lucky enough to say, but live theatre could never be captured in the form of a bootleg-- i don't even like released proshots as much as the real thing

10. Anonymous said: for me bootlegs are fine for those who can't see it live because of the price and they are living from another country though i know there are a lot of actors disagrees about it

11. Anonymous said: as someone who can't afford to go to a professional production of anything, absolutely gimme a bootleg. obviously I wouold prefer, like, a proshot of a show and I really hope that becomes more of the norm (I watched the Newsies proshot on Disney+ and had the happy wiggles for hours afterwards, and I can't wait for the Hamilton one to come out) but until that starts happening I'll take a bootleg any day.

12. Anonymous said: I like that it helps people get into fandoms/musicals that they wouldn’t’ve otherwise but I would prefer if theatres professionally films them.

13. maycombhoney said: they will be a part of theatre culture until live theatre is made accessible for more people

14. Anonymous said: bootlegs are great and until the theater community decides to produce pro-shots i’m all for them

15. zoueriemandzijnopmars said: I would personally feel kinda bad for watching bootlegs, because it won’t directly bring money to the people who worked on the show. I don’t judge people who do watch bootlegs though, because let’s face it, bootlegs are not a replacement for actually going to the theatre and it’s not gonna lose the creators actually money. It might even make them money, because people will listen to the album/buy tickets anyway when they can. I’d just personally be more comfortable watching a proshot

16. Anonymous said: I don't pretend bootlegs aren't stealing but whatever harm they do is abstract enough - and my decisions are drop-in-the-bucket enough - that I do it anyway

17. Anonymous said: I’m totally fine with bootlegs. I’ve watched so many of them that it wouldn’t be fair if I wasn’t. The fact is most people just aren’t able to see shows. Either they live too far away or they can’t afford it, and if this is the only way someone can experience a show, it’s better than never seeing it at all

18. Anonymous said: i think bootlegs are important for accessibility but i really wish more theatres would release proshots. i wouldn't even mind if it were after the broadway run or after the original cast is switched out, but i think it's valuable to have those recordings out during the run of the show to get more people interested and actually wanting to go out and see it. plus, if they're worried about money, they wouldn't *have* to be free. just cheaper than tickets and travel.

19. Anonymous said: about the question of the day, honestly i think bootlegs are fine as long as they're done respectfully and the filmers aren't distracting with it

20. locke-writes said: For the question of the day: If there’s absolutely no way I can see the show live or from a professional recording then I’m going to watch a bootleg. Theater should be more accessible and sometimes a bootleg is my only way to access a show. Having been part of film crews who have shot live theater I think a lot of the lack of pro recordings is the idea which that theater is difficult to record. It isn’t. Give me a pro shot show over a bootleg anyday but I’ll take what I can get

21. Anonymous said: My opinion on bootlegs is I prefer professional recordings ONLY because bootleg quality is terrible for my auditory processing problems and I hate the washed out quality. But since professional recordings are rare (unless you are, interestingly enough, Sight & Sound Theatre); for everyone else: BRING ON THE BOOTLEG! ~ Stripe Conlon

22. Anonymous said: Bootlegs are complicated! As a fan/consumer I think they’re okay, especially considering how inaccessible theatre is for people living in other countries, people who can’t afford to experience shows live, and disabled folks. But as someone who also performs, i understand that it can be distracting and legally complicated for actors who are trying to do their best and did not consent to being filmed that night. I just hope that pro shots will become more common.

23. penguinated said: Bootlegs are fine. They don't cost Broadway a thing since people will literally never not pay to see live shows (except during covid of course). and for many people, seeing a certain show with a certain cast will NEVER be possible, so what's the harm in watching the bootleg? The bootlegs aren't the problem, it's the inaccessibility of live theater, ESPECIALLY Broadway shows. If more things were available to stream (i.e. BroadwayHD) there wouldn't be a need for bootlegs. Bootleg away, imo.

24. Anonymous said: until theatre is made accessible to everyone and there is a proshot released for every show, bootlegs are absolutely necessary for the prosperity of theatre

25. Anonymous said: It's so sad that people think bootlegs are necessary! and it's even sadder that in a way they are. however, too many people use them as an excuse to not pursue alternate affordable alternatives for theatre (such as broadway hd, pursuing local shows including high school and college theatre, and utilizing legally free shows online). In addition, bootlegs absolutely CAN be unethically sourced- recordings of locally produced shows can get theaters in trouble and bankrupt them with legal fees. and if you're recording something from Broadway (which is fine imo usually), if you're actually making people PAY for your illegal recording, that's profiting off the work of others and is both very unethical and exploiting the very people many bootleggers claim to work for the benefit of. When it comes to bootlegs, it's one thing to pass around shows that have finished their runs on Broadway for free- but there's too much unethical and even HARMFUL bootleg behavior and it needs to stop.

26. Anonymous said: since Broadway is too rich and doesn't wanna spend money(for some reason) streaming their shows, then bootlegs are the only option.

27. Anonymous said: Theater is so inaccessible that bootlegs are necessary for a lot of people because with a lot of shows you can’t get a good idea of the show just from the soundtrack but people that share nft boots are assholes

28. Anonymous said: Bootlegs do more good than harm. Those against bootlegs are elitist and don't understand some people cant afford hundreds of dollars in theatre and plane tickets. Bootlegs make people crave the live experience more, a dark and shaky video with shit audio doesn't satiate the desire to see a show live. And if the show is closed all the more reason to watch a bootleg!

29. lynntjeeee said: Theatre bootlegs are amazing and are why there are fans. I live in a country with no musical theater (except the occasional sucky original production with a local celeb who can't sing) so if it not for bootlegs I wouldn't be able to watch any shows and wouldn't be a fan (thus not spending money on cast recordings, etc). People need to realise this, bootlegs do not harm the theater, in fact it only helps it. If there were official recordings, there would be many more fans (and thus more profit!)

30. Anonymous said: Opinion on bootlegs: They wouldn't be necessary if the theater industry would get with the times and release professional shots of their shows on streaming services/cable.

31. Anonymous said: I think that people are really overreacting about bootlegs. ESPECIALLY bootlegs if shows that have already closed- you may never get a chance to see that show! Ever! Now there’s an affordable and accessible way to see shows that people would kill and die for. It isn’t losing Broadway money, in fact it is bringing more people into the medium. Maybe if full proshots were more common I would feel differently, but since there is literally no other way, boots are fine.

32. Anonymous said: Bootleg opinion: just go absolutely hog wild. Fuck it. Be gay do crime.

33. Anonymous said: Bootlegs are one of the few things that are keeping me sane right now, plus the fact that not everyone has dat cash money to see the shows live, so yeah they're good stuff (as long as they are available online w/ at least vaguely good sound quality anyway 😆)

34. Anonymous said: I see it both ways. I can understand why those in the profession are against it; it’s their hard work that’s getting pirated. But I’m also poor. I have no access to theatre outside of cast albums and bootlegs. I don’t watch bootlegs because I personally feel guilty, but I will not and do not judge others if they do.

35. whatdoscissorsdo said: I think broadway bootlegs r okay?? eat the rich amirite

36. Anonymous said: I trade and watch bootlegs and don't plan on stopping, but I've recently realized that it must be super uncomfortable for actors to be filmed without their knowledge or consent, or just to have to have on their minds that they might be being recorded at any time in a performance. Like, I've happily watched Many™ Spring Awakening videos in the past year, but I doubt Alexandra Socha is that thrilled knowing there are videos up on YouTube of featuring her nude at age nineteen.

37. i-am-having-an-emotion said: they will remain a necessary evil until theater is more accessible to the masses. seeing real live theater is always better than a boot but literally like 95% of people can’t access live theater, especially at a broadway caliber, so like..... do The Poors not *deserve* theater??? what are we supposed to do BUT make bootlegs?

38. ope-okay said: bootlegs are blessings from heaven and no one can convince me otherwise

39. Anonymous said: I think it can really hype up the want for the musical. And a really good boot release can bring new creations to an otherwise small fandom. Personally I’m more interested in seeing the musicals I’ve seen boots of than the musicals I haven’t

40. Anonymous said: On the topic of bootlegs, I think they’re great but like especially for people who do not have the means to go see the shows during their runs, I feel like if you do have the means to go see the show you should do that instead

41. Anonymous said: I have a REALLY hard time with bootlegs. Because artists deserve to be paid for their work, and there are a whole host of copywriter issues that come with the mass production of a show. In addition though, I understand the anger you feel at not getting to see a show live, however there are so many resources available to help people get the idea of their favorite show even if they never see it. Honestly Wikipedia is my favorite resource, as often that has a full synopsis of the show. I’ll read that and then listen to the recording a bunch so I can understand the story and imagine what it may look like. A lot of shows put clips on YouTube, the Macy’s parade, the Tony Awards, NBC does a whole broadway week, there are so many ways that you can get glimpses into these shows without resorting to bootlegs (which at this point are still illegal) I’m not a supporter of the “theater must be seen live” idea. While I LOVE live theater (and as a performer I like feeding off an audience) but I’ve see shows with just proshots or just the movie version and they are still just as good. Unfortunately I think the only way we’re are going to make theater more accessible to audiences is through time. Bootlegs I think only make people less inclined to record shows and mass produce them. There are a whole lot of legal things that go into that as well. What I can say is what I’ve done. Read up on the show, watch all the clips you can, sometimes scripts are posted online maybe read those, listen to the album, look at pictures. It SUCKS that theater is exclusive, but bootlegs are not the solution.

let me repeat: if you wanna fight or agree with anyone, refer to the # and send in an ask or reply to this post.

10 Exciting New Netflix Originals Still Coming In 2019

2019 has been another good year for streaming giant Netflix. With heaps of new content published and Stranger Things' third season smashing through previous streaming records. Despite the arrival of new streaming platforms like Disney plus just around the corner, Netflix is powering forward regardless.

Obviously, some titles are going to start disappearing and reappearing on new sites, but Netflix still has an incredible breadth of content in television, film, stand-up and documentary. This list will look at new Netflix originals still to come in 2019, some of the most exciting and the most intriguing titles being prepared for your streaming pleasure.

RELATED: Why Netflix's Prices Went Up In 2019 (& Why It'll Get Worse)

10 Between Two Ferns: The Movie

Zach Galifianakis's satirical celebrity interview show is getting the movie treatment with the show's curmudgeonly host going on the road to interview a number of new guests. Those familiar will know that the Zach who hosts the show often has a total disdain for his guests and is frequently annoyed that no one takes what he's doing seriously.

Directed by Scott Auckerman, the film will follow Zach as he tries to reinstate his reputation as a serious interviewer and will no doubt explore more of the character than we've seen before. As for who will be appearing, very few details have been given, so we'll have to wait and see when the film is released on September 20th.

9 In The Shadow Of the Moon

There's no denying that crime drama genre is having a moment right now, and the new Netflix film In the Shadow of the Moon, coming September 27th, is going to be continuing that trend. Set in Philidelphia in 1988, the film will follow a police detective (Narcos' Boyd Holbrook) as he obsessives over an elusive murderer.

There's been no official trailer yet, but loose plot descriptions suggest that the film will be exploring the cost of being married to the job and the inability to disconnect from the mystery when catching the killer is all you can think about. Michael C. Hall and Cleopatra Coleman also star.

8 The Politician

Also dropping on September 27th is a new comedy show The Politician starring Ben Platt fresh from Broadway superstardom. Co-starring Gwyneth Paltrow, the show will focus on Payton Hobart (Platt) and ambitious high schooler with dreams of becoming President of the United States who must first fight to be his student council president.

A show like this is going to have its finger on the pulse of contemporary culture and will deliver it with biting satire and more than a little hint of darkness as the race to the top brings out the worst in everyone.

7 El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

The Breaking Bad movie is happening and with a release date of October 11th, and it is coming so very soon! As can be expected, plot details are being held pretty close to the chest. All that's been said is that it will follow Jesse Pinkman after he escaped from Jack's gang at the end of the series.

With the teaser trailer pretty much just confirming this plotline, it's unlikely we'll hear more about the film until we actually get to see it. Show creator Vince Gilligan is writing and directing, and, with Better Call Saul further invigorating the Breaking Bad brand, this film is surely not going to disappoint.

6 The Irishman

The long-awaited cinematic reunion of Scorsese and De Nero is finally happening, and it's coming to Netflix on November 27th! The Irishman will follow the life and death of notorious criminal Jimmy Hoffa, played by Al Pacino. With a thoroughly de-aged De Nero playing opposite his contemporaries, the film promises to be a fascinating piece of work. Plus, if the talent alone wasn't enough to get you, even Joe Pesci has come out of retirement for this film.

This is an incredibly good get for Netflix, and, with a confirmed running time of 3 and a half hours, it will be a true cinema epic made for you by one of the maestros of the medium.

RELATED: The Irishman Gets A Netflix Release Date & Theatrical Roll Out

5 Green Eggs and Ham

Coming this fall is a new animated TV series based on Dr. Seuss' beloved Green Eggs and Ham. A 13 episode series, executive produced by Ellen Degeneres, and a co-production with Warner Brothers Television, the show will follow the main characters from Seuss' book as they go on a cross-country journey to save an endangered animal. Netflix's animated output has been very strong, and, with a cast that includes Adam Devine, Jillian Bell, Michael Douglas, and Keegan Michael-Key it's likely that this will be a big bet for the site's family programming.

4 American Son

On 1st on November Netflix will release another film, but one of their first forays into Broadway: an adaptation of the smash hit American Son. With the original Broadway cast returning, which includes Kerry Washington, the story focuses on an interracial couple who reunite at a Florida police station on account of their missing son.

A hard hitter that will tackle very strong themes about contemporary America. Certainly, one to watch out for, especially if you missed it on stage. Depending on its success, American Son could open the doors for Netflix to adapt more Broadway shows.

3 Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner

It seems that Netflix just can't get enough shows about people cooking and people eating, and, this Fall, there will be even more. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner will mark the second collaboration between Netflix and celebrity chef David Chang after the success of Ugly Delicious. Chang will bring more of his food passion and infectious charm in this new series that will see him travel, with a different guest each show, to a city where they will take in culture and food, over three separate meals, over the course of one day.

2 Marriage Story

Another Netflix-produced Noah Baumbach picture (The Meyerowitz Chronicles) following another story about the trials and tribulations of family. Scarlett Johanssen and Adam Driver star as a couple trying to raise their son while they go through a particularly difficult divorce.

Baumbach has already proven himself as a master of the family dynamic, nailing both realistic dialogue and equally sympathetic and infuriating characters. With an advertising campaign that tells the story from both parents' perspectives, this could prove to be quite a divisive story. We'll have to see when it arrives this December 6th.

RELATED: Netflix Sets Release Dates For The King, Dolemite Is My Name And More

1 The Witcher

No official release date yet, but The Witcher is likely to come out at the end of this year and may one of the most hotly anticipated series of 2019. A lot of people may know the character from either of the phenomenally successful video game or book series, and this has been long overdue a screen adaptation. With Superman himself, Henry Cavill, stepping into the role, the series already has some serious clout.

Reportedly, it will follow the plot of the books—so don't worry if you haven't played the game—which have enough political intrigue, medieval horror, magic, and action that it could fill that Game of Thrones shaped hole in your heart.
