Broadway is a great way to bond with family or friends and today you have options for how and where to see theater. “The question shouldn’t be “in-person theater” versus “streaming theater”,” says Bonnie Comley, founder of BroadwayHD, “you can have both.” BroadwayHD.com is the online streaming service offering over 300 full length Broadway shows to watch on your TVs and mobile devices.
BroadwayHD.com has been called the “Netflix for Broadway. Subscribers can watch when they want and where they want. The high quality recordings give views from the best angles in the theater.
Watching theater on TV is another way to engage with the art form of musical theater, experiment with watching Shakespeare or another type of show at a much lower price. It’s also becoming the training wheels for families with young children by introducing them to theater and letting them know what to expect inside a theater, for example; the lights go down in the audience and it can get dark. Broadway at home provides accessibility for those who can’t get to the theater.
Giving a gift of theater tickets is a wonderful gift but you need to know what show, date and time your recipient is looking for and it can be an expensive mistake. A gift for a month of BroadwayHD is only $11.99 and gives the recipient the choice of over hundreds of shows.
“If you have only seen Phantom of the Opera, you are not a theater fan, you are a Phantom of the Opera fan”, explains Comley, “multiple experiences with theater creates educated consumers of theater and the next generation of Broadway fans.” Those theater experiences can be in person at the theater and watching filmed theatrical productions. So, start a new holiday tradition this year by attending live theater, and streaming theater on tv!
