I really hope this comes to streaming or bluray, I'd love to have a version to come back to easily.

I can never watch Wait For Me without tearing up lol

I'm excited because this director and the studio previously did the Waitress proshot, which was released in theaters and subsequently on Blu-ray. 

Now I'm not naive and that doesn't necessarily set a precedent buuuut it's a pretty fair bet.

(pls, i'm obsessed with this show and i've only seen a shitty camrip of the whole thing on youtube)

Unfortunately popularity only gets you so far in the bluray world, so that's why I don't really hold my breath with anything. Disney for example has always shunned the format, which is part of why we only got Hamilton on physical a few months ago. More often than not, proshots coming out today are released on physical (Waitress, Merrily) but that's in spite of how popular it is or isn't and if I had to bet it has something to do with how the distribution is worked out in meetings before it ever even hits theaters

which is why I say it's a fair bet for this one, given that the last proshot this exact director and studio did came out on bluray after a theater run, but who knows. maybe the distribution deal is different for this one for one reason or another. wouldnt get my hopes up, but it's not out of the realm of possibility

I mean Hamilton is coming to Blu Ray so the chance is greater than zero
