Theater uses its creativity to defy pandemic and stage shows

Live theater is uniquely tested by the virus, one reason it will be among the last sectors to return to normal. It's not technically live theater, but its soul is theatrical. Play and musical licensor Concord Theatricals says theater companies across the country are looking for flexibility in case of virus restrictions. Launched shortly before the pandemic with 15 podcasts, the theater shutdown initially wiped out its revenue streams, advertising and sponsorship. โ€œItโ€™s not anything that will ever replace live theater, but itโ€™s an extension.

New this week: 'This Is Us,' Baby Yoda, 'The Craft' redone

(NBC via AP)Hereโ€™s a collection curated by The Associated Pressโ€™ entertainment journalists of whatโ€™s arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week.

It stars Sope Dirisu and Wunmi Mosaku as a Sudanese refugee couple finding new horrors in life in England. But Neon, the โ€œParasiteโ€ distributor, last week put a restored version into theaters and on Tuesday brings it to VOD. One is Natalie Margolin โ€œThe Party Hop,โ€ which she wrote during quarantine in one week in early April.

5 musicals that should be filmed for a streaming network since Broadway is still closed

Considering Disney+ saw a 72% increase in downloads of its app over the weekend, itโ€™s safe to say that bringing musicals filmed on stage to a mass audience is a pretty good idea. Some will argue that theater is meant to be consumed live, but with so much uncertainty about when Broadway will return, itโ€™s not a bad idea to start filming more Broadway musicals and plays for streaming networks. While itโ€™s still a wildly popular musical, fans have been begging for some sort of movie version for years. Disneyโ€™s most popular and long-running show on Broadway is โ€œThe Lion King,โ€ and itโ€™s hard to imagine the people wouldnโ€™t love to watch a filmed version of this production. Do you plan to watch โ€œHamilton?โ€ Are there any musicals youโ€™d like to see from the comfort of your home?
