5 musicals that should be filmed for a streaming network since Broadway is still closed
Read full article: 5 musicals that should be filmed for a streaming network since Broadway is still closedConsidering Disney+ saw a 72% increase in downloads of its app over the weekend, itโs 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, itโs not a bad idea to start filming more Broadway musicals and plays for streaming networks. While itโs still a wildly popular musical, fans have been begging for some sort of movie version for years. Disneyโs most popular and long-running show on Broadway is โThe Lion King,โ and itโs hard to imagine the people wouldnโt love to watch a filmed version of this production.

And because the people at Disney are incredibly smart, free trials of the streaming service have ended, so if you want to watch, youโre going to have to sign up.
