It’s been a successful touring show for a few years, plenty of people can’t afford to go to live performances, easy choice for an adaptation since it’s basically already made.

Meanwhile, The Book of Mormon and Hamilton go unmade.

You can watch Hamilton right now. It's in Disney + in the USA.

I can also watch it on pornhub, it is still a filming of a theater performance and not a movie musical.

I’d buy the Book of Mormon on Laserdisk if that was the only format they released it in
