There is a Youtube bit of it, I think from a Royal Variety performance. Take a gander at that for a good laugh and to whet your whistle until you can see it in the theater. I would see it again and hubby said he would too.

On PBS tonight, they are showing Opening The Broadway Revival. Link
quote:Go behind the scenes of Broadway as shows reunite, rehearse and re-stage for their long-awaited reopening nights while the theater industry learns how to turn the lights back on after its longest hiatus in history due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Well, from the link, I see it already started airing. They were talking about it on tv this morning, and it sounded really good. Edited to add that it's under Great Perfomances. The man talking about it this morning said that Broadway brings in more money to NYC than all the sports teams combined. And to think that Broadway doesn't raise my cable bill the way that sports does. (A pet peeve of mine.)

I drove thru a mini monsoon by myself in areas of the city I never go in order to see Home Free this evening. It was good, I have teenage girl crushes on them all.

Has anyone watched BroadwayHD or National Theatre Live? They are streaming services to watch Broadway plays and British theater. I just came across it while searching for something. I'll have to look into it more later.

I ADORE National Theatre Live and BroadwayHD. I usually only pay for one service at a time, and currently I have NTL. It is such a wonderful way to see stage events without the expense of travel!

Well if you can catch Anna Lapwood playing the organ at Royal Albert Hall.. It would be amazing in a different way. Look her up online. She is amazing and her joy is contagious. But your plans sound great!

I discovered Anna Lapwood online, and then I heard her perform live in Costa Mesa, CA a couple of years ago. I've continued to follow her online ever since. She is absolutely fantastic, in all her endeavors but especially her organ career. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Yes.. Unfortunately I discovered her after that show.. But I just adore her personality, talent and joy. She just sparkles! Costa Mesa is just over the river from me in Fountain Valley. This year I saw Willie Nelson and later Alison Krauss at Pacific Amphitheater.
