There is a movie version in original limited release. Maybe they will release it in physical media. The soundtrack and vocals were released, including on vinyl. I think it is the same as the 2000 streaming version.
It was shot Jun 26, 2016 - Jun 28, 2016. With the original cast. When I saw it, they had a 10 minute cut of interview excerpts with the writers and performers before the movie.
I saw it in a Regal Theaters property in 2.1. I found the orchestra a little compressed and some of the orchestra echo inconsistent - there would be echo on an instrument but not others or a musical phrase with echo out of place.
The actors had been doing the show a few times a week for a few years and their voices were excellent. They were having fun doing the show and there is some humor.
There were a lot of scalp microphones or ear mount boom microphones where the actors did not have enough hair to hide it. A lot of DPA 6060 and DPA booms, though there were some funny scenes with Shure unisphere-style wireless handhelds.
Main console is a DiGiCo SD7T with 141 inputs. It has the theater software for cue management.
The movie has camera moves and shots which contribute well to telling the story, but they are not edited in the small screen fast cut style:
[Director] "Kail reprises his role on the film, getting expert backup from cinematographer Declan Quinn. Two actual performances were shot in full with an audience toward the end of the original cast’s run at New York’s Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2016, using multiple cameras. In addition, 13 key songs were filmed between shows, allowing for Steadicam, crane and dolly-mounted cameras to move among the performers.
The result is consistently dynamic, made even more so by the rhythmic editing of Jonah Moran, who also cut Fosse/Verdon. There’s a good reason behind every technical choice — close-ups and moments of stillness intensify the intimacy of the more introspective songs; nimble camerawork juices up the contentious Cabinet battles; wide shots and stunning overheads add to the scope of momentous scenes like the fatal duels that punctuate the story." - Hollywood Reporter
I think this movie is the same as the 2020 stream, but I did not detect any timing problems, maybe they corrected it?
There are many articles about how the musical differs from history, and many books of history. If this musical and movie encourage people to dig deeper, its work is done.
