Theatre is a fleeting medium, one that's quite difficult to preserve. Just because you can read a script doesn't mean you can ever recapture the experience of seeing the show live. What if you don't have the time or money to see a show when it's out, or you can't travel to the one location where it's being performed?
Some productions, especially those in high demand, amend the accessibility issue by filming a stage production for publication, known within the industry as a "proshot." Viewing a proshot is a different experience from viewing a live production. The play may be filmed on different days, then seamlessly edited together as if it was one consistent performance. Multiple camera angles can focus more clearly on the onstage action, and get close-ups of actors to better sell the emotion on camera. Releasing a proshot is a good way to generate interest in a show, as even those who see the recording may still want to experience the show live. This can attract new fans even after the original production has closed. The taped production may even be submitted for consideration to an awards program such as the Emmys or Oscars, despite not technically being written for that medium.
In Japan, these are very common. Theatrical productions tend to be set for short runs, which enables more niche productions to get made at all. The final performance is often filmed for bluray release. This is especially true with 2.5D theatre productions, based on anime and games, which often develop into long series. Non-Japanese musicals, such as Elisabeth, also get a lot of Japanese proshots.
The film may be released on home video, broadcast on television, or streamed online. PBS often airs proshots as part of their Great Performances series, many of which have been released on DVD as part of the Broadway Theatre Archive. Streaming websites such as BroadwayHD have popped up to catalogue filmed stage productions. One trend that peaked in the mid-2010's with The Sound of Music Live! on NBC is televised "live" productions, where a play is performed live for one day on a soundstage, solely for a television event.
Compare The Film of the Play, for when the play is adapted into a film, not filmed onstage. See also Screen-to-Stage Adaptation.
Please only list official, publicly-released filmed productions, not bootlegs. Additionally, a play being preserved in the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive does not qualify for this trope, as that is specifically for researchers, not released to the general public.

A production of Our Town was aired live on the TV series Producer's Showcase, with Frank Sinatra as the Stage Manager, Paul Newman as George Gibbs, and Eva Marie Saint as Emily Webb. Notably (and appropriately for a production featuring Sinatra) several songs were added to the show for the Stage Manager to perform, including "Love and Marriage", which became a Sinatra standard (as well as the theme song to Married... with Children).

RENT in 2019 (Fox), with Jordan Fisher as Mark and Brennin Hunt as Roger. However, Hunt suffered a last-minute injury that bound him to a wheelchair, so the production was a mix of dress rehearsal footage and live footage with limited staging to accommodate Hunt. Several lyrics were also censored to comply with network standards.

Into the Woods:
The entire original cast (barring Jean Kelly) reunited for three days in 1989 to perform a taped production as part of PBS's American Playhouse. The film utilized seven cameras to tape the show at multiple angles, and some pick-up shots were filmed without an audience. This recording was available on VHS and DVD.
A 1991 production aired on PBS's American Playhouse.

Tsukiuta and its many spinoff series (over 35 plays) all have their final performances recorded for bluray releases. The discs also tend to feature a separate fixed-camera recording that may or may not be the same performance. Add to that the fact that the plays are often done in two different versions — a Six Gravity side and a Procellarum side, or a Solids side and a Quell side, etc. for the two main units of each series — and you end up getting four whole performances, plus hours of backstage bonus footage, in each box set.

Essen 2002 (starring Pia Douwes and Uwe Kröger; a recording of Pia's last performance in this production)
Budapest 2004 (starring Kata Janza and Szilveszter Szabó)
The many Takarazuka Revue versions (as of 2022 there have been ten, not including concert versions)
Toho 2016 (two different performances, one starring Mari Hanafusa and Yuu Shirota and the other starring Mari Hanafusa and Yoshio Inoue)

Katharine Cornell was called "The First Lady of Theater" and was one of the biggest stars on Broadway for some 30 years from the 1920s to the 1950s. She never made a movie, but she did appear in two television productions near the end of her career, in The Barretts of Wimpole Street and There Shall Be No Night.

Les Misérables: There have been a few anniversary concert stagings over the years of its historic run pulling in original cast members and popular replacement actors, either reprising their roles or playing new ones:
Les Miserables: The Dream Cast in Concert aired in 1995 for the 10th anniversary, with Colm Wilkinson returning as Valjean, Judy Kuhn returning as Cosette, and Lea Salonga playing Eponine.
Les Miserables in Concert: The 25th Anniversary aired in 2010, with Alfie Boe as Valjean, Lea Salonga now playing Fantine, Samantha Barks playing Eponine (who would go on to reprise the role in the 2012 film adaptation), and Nick Jonas (one of the many Broadway Gavroche replacements) playing Marius.
Les Miserables: The Staged Concert filmed the final concert of the 2019 concert staging (which ran from August 10-December 2, 2019 to accommodate the restoration of the Sondheim Theatre). It starred original Marius Michael Ball as Javert and Carrie Hope Fletcher as Fantine. Alfie Boe returned as Valjean.
Les Miz is possibly the only musical more popular in Japan than Elisabeth, but as of 2023, it has not yet received a Japanese proshot.

The musical adaptation of A Christmas Story, which had previously run on Broadway in 2012, was performed as a live event on Fox in 2017. Three songs, including a short Bebe Rexha music video that played before the musical proper, were added to the television version.

For VeggieTales, the first live show and Sing Yourself Silly got releases, with the former being hard to find as the tape was only sold at the show itself.

Identity V released blurays of all three episodes, as is standard in Japan. Each release also contains several performances. Episodes 1 and 3 had a Survivors' Side and a Hunters' side, and a special comedy performance for both sides, meaning the discs have four whole performances. On top of that, episode 2 featured three sides, each focusing on different Hunter-Survivor pair. Each pair also had a comedy performance, and there was a separate, even more special "Grand Cards Competition" comedy performance that was also filmed, so the bluray set contains seven whole plays.

The first full-length Broadway production to be televised in full color was a 1955 showing of the Peter Pan musical, which aired on the anthology Producers' Showcase. It was restaged to be filmed again six years later with a slightly altered cast; this version aired several times, including on NBC in 1989 and on Disney Channel in 1991. It was released on VHS in 1990 and on DVD in 1999.
