Why did they reuse actors?

I understand this is done on Broadway, but for the Disney+ movie I thought it was a bit of a distraction seeing the same actor in multiple roles. Give someone else a chance to shine.

Pretty much all broadway shows do this. I remember Avenue Q reuses most of their actors. I guess they wanted to keep it in-line with the show.

The "movie" was basically just a filmed musical and they used the original actors from Broadway.
