While you’re stuck indoors, it’s important that you find fun things to do so that you don’t go crazy with boredom. Maybe you’ve taken up baking or completing jigsaw puzzles or you’re learning to knit. Plus, there’s always plenty of Netflix to catch up on. Well, if you’re a musical theater fan, you’re in luck too, because you can now watch Broadway shows and musicals online for free for 7 days (and for a small fee after that) from the comfort of your own home.
- This is all thanks to BroadwayHD. The streaming service has been around for a while now and offers an $8.99/month subscription fee for access to all your favorite Broadway musicals and plays. However, they’re now offering a 7-day free trial, meaning you can try out the service and watch to your heart’s content for free before the normal rate kicks in.
- It’s not just Broadway shows that are on offer. You can also watch shows and musicals from London’s West End and loads of other great venues around the world. This is an international affair, people.
- So what’s available to watch? You can stream everything from Kinky Boots to An American in Paris to CATS, Oklahoma!, and so many more. There are also plenty of Shakespeare plays and even productions in other languages if you’re bilingual. All of the Broadway and other theater productions are from various time periods, so there are some vintage picks to enjoy as well as more modern shows.
- This is how you make theater accessible. As the company said in a statement, “BroadwayHD was created with the goal of making high-quality theater accessible to everyone globally.” Allowing people to try out the service and providing an affordable subscription service is a way to do that, and I think this is super cool.
- Go ahead and sing along. Seriously, no one will mind! You’re in your own home and you’re watching some great Broadway musicals. Why shouldn’t you sing along at the top of your lungs? I promise the neighbors won’t care (and if they do, oh well). You can sign up for your free trial on the BroadwayHD website.
