Shrek The Musical, based on the popular 2001 animated film DreamWorks and presented on Broadway from 2008 to 2010, is a strange sight. This is not exactly what you would call prestige theatre. But it`s always a good family fun, and fans of the film will undoubtedly enjoy bringing their favorite characters to life in the land of Far Far Away. It`s just that this legendary Broadway Goofy plays one of the best in the industry: Sutton Foster, who you know from chatty TV shows like Bunheads and Younger. She`s been one of the best triple threats to hit Broadway in the last two decades, and here she plays Princess Fiona. Is she overqualified? Probably. But is their appearance still a feast for the eyes? Absolute. She even taps with a row of choir rats. If this sounds like the Broadway show to you, luckily you can watch it on Netflix this minute.
Stephen Sondheim`s hit musical about the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm was filmed in 2014 starring Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine and others. You can watch the action movie live on Disney+, but if you`re in the mood for the original 1989 Broadway production, you`ll be happy to know it`s available for free on YouTube. A recording of the musical with its full opening cast (with the exception of Cindy Robinson being replaced by Jean Kelly as Snow White) was released in 1991 as part of the PBS American Playhouse, and one soul was kind enough to upload it to YouTube. You can watch it here. Notably, Bernadette Peters, lady of Broadway, plays the witch in this production. If you`re a true rabid fan, you can`t go wrong with a BroadwayHD membership. For $9 per month (either attached to your Amazon Prime account or as a separate package), you`ll have access to hundreds of recorded productions and live plays, including Kinky Boots, Cats, and Sunday in the Park with George. There are also countless ways to rent your favorite movie productions on Amazon Prime, Apple, YouTube, etc. But for those who just want a taste of what it used to be like to see live theater on stage, there are several shows already available on major streaming services. Below we have rounded them up for your convenience.

It opened in August 2015 at Broadway`s Richard Rodgers Theatre, where it would still be presented six nights a week had it not been for the ongoing pandemic. It has won 11 Tony Awards (and the Pulitzer Prize) and has proven to be one of the most popular tickets in New York City, as well as in almost every major city in the United States on a number of national tours. It brought in over $1 billion in all ticket sales and merchandising. Last month, after a dramatically rushed release date, a recording of a Hamilton performance in the summer of 2016 with the original cast landed on Disney+ just before July 4, quickly bringing the musical back into tune with the times (as it always could have!). Finally, a musical that was once an incomprehensible privilege for most and enjoyed only by the elite is now available to the masses. A worldwide audience of fans was delighted.
Meanwhile, memories exploded on the internet, including some unfavorable ones. This new criticism of Hamilton in a new era of Black Lives Matter protests is very justified. Miranda herself agrees. And there`s one glaring one we absolutely can`t overlook: the rapping and shimmering founding fathers (and their «Werk!» women) portrayed in history owned slaves. Choosing people of color in these roles doesn`t change that fact. But let me be bold enough to say that Hamilton should not be completely written off simply because of this more brilliant than reality portrayal. As Strong Black Legends host Tracy Clayton described on Twitter, we have a nuanced ability to deal with problematic material and hold it to higher standards than we would have five years ago. We can see the problems here as well as the brilliance.

It was very useful to quickly identify officially licensed broadcasts. The stars of May forever fall on the wonderful people at MTV who orchestrated the live-action Broadway production of Legally Blonde, which will air on television across the country in 2007. MTV`s screening of a live-action Broadway performance of Legally Blonde, adapted from Amanda Brown`s book Legally Blonde and the 2001 film of the same name starring Reese Witherspoon, aired ahead of the network`s reality show called Legally Blonde: The Musical – The Search for Elle Woods, which followed Laura Bell Bundy`s search for the role of Elle Woods. In the 2007 production, however, Bundy starred as Elle alongside Christian Borle and Annaleigh Ashford. The show captures the same spirit as the film, full of bright pink costumes and go-getter energy. There`s also one of the most impressive and complicated dance numbers I`ve ever seen in a Broadway show (for the song «Whipped into Shape») and a real Chihuahua playing the role of Bruiser Woods.

Broadway is dark, national touring companies are grounded, and I can only imagine that high schools and community organizations are also blocking productions.
It is, in a word, dark. But there`s hope for theater geeks who just miss the thrill of live performance. Currently, there are several ways to discover productions filmed online. There are a lot of musicals that are available on major streaming services pretty much all the time, but it`s just special to see actors on a stage, even if it`s a recording. A fabulously funny and award-winning musical based on the popular film Legally Blonde The Musical follows Elle Woods` transformation as she confronts stereotypes and scandals to pursue her dreams. Full of action and exploding with unforgettable songs and dynamic dances, this musical is so much fun it should be illegal!
