Title: Pre-recorded shows broadcast during lockdown
Post by: Yorkie on April 27, 2020, 22:26

Is anyone enjoying the various shows that are being broadcast?

I missed Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar and Phantom, but have caught Joseph and also Love Never Dies (the phantom sequel).

I have also just watched the National Theatre's production of Twelfth Night, which had Tamsin Greig in it and was hilariously superb - available until 7pm this Thursday; I also watched One Man Two Guvnors with James Corden, but didn't manage to catch Jane Eyre.

Such a privilege as I never would get to London to see these shows otherwise.

I am not a telly person, will always try and find other things to do however...
We have set up a Walking Football group chat on whatts app so we can all stay in contact, the banter has been top notch, we have a chap who does goerdie folk songs (video), he follows me.. The Punk Poet and it was he who kept telling me to watch Sunderland Till I Die on Netflix, Watch both series almost back to back 14 episodes and really enjoyed it.
Of course I am back here now.

Most of them are on YouTube.

The ALW channel is called The Shows Must Go On.  The show is released for 48 hours at 7pm on a Friday.

The National Theatre channel is called National Theatre Home.  The show is released for 7 days at 7pm on a Thursday.

I tend to see updates as to what is coming up on Facebook or Twitter from What's On Stage.

Also, I believe many museums are doing virtual tours - must investigate that.  Chichester Theatre is broadcasting some of its plays.  Opera companies are also doing broadcasts.
