This week in Filmed Live Musicals news includes work from Tony nominees and winners, a Hawaiian Language Theatre Festival, new digital offerings from Chichester Festival Theatre, TEDx Broadway Ten, upcoming releases and more! 

Tony Tony Tony!
I know many of my readers outside the US were frustrated that they weren’t able to watch the Tony Awards this year, either live or on catch-up. Despite this, it bodes well for filmed theatre that 6 shows from the 2021/22 Broadway season have been, or will be filmed live for release.
  • Diana: The Musical: filmed on Broadway in 2021 and available via Netflix
  • Girl from the North Country: filmed live on Broadway in May 2022. Release date TBA.
  • Six: scheduled to be filmed in late June/early July this year. Release date TBA.
  • Clyde’s: The final 16 performances were livestreamed earlier this year. Not currently available to view.
  • The Lehman Trilogy: filmed live during its original West End run at the National Theatre and currently available in select cinemas via NT Live.
  • Pass Over: Antoinette Nwandu’s extraordinary play filmed live at Steppenwolf Theatre in 2017. Directed by Spike Lee (who also directed Passing Strange) and now available via Amazon Prime.

Earlier in the week, I shared a blog post, Where To Watch the Tony Winners & Nominees, which features a list of over 35 filmed live musicals that this year’s Tony contenders previously worked on, most of which are available to stream!

'Aha Hana Keaka: KEAKA Hawaiian Language Theatre Festival
The month long festival is available on demand for free and includes a wide range films, plays, musicals, and slam poetry performed in “full Hawaiian language to partial Hawaiian language.” The musical Wordsworth, available with Hawaiian or English subtitles, looks particularly delightful. More info and access via KEAKA Hawaiian Language Theatre Festival.

Chichester Festival Theatre: Digital Stages
In July, Chichester Festival Theatre (CFT) will be celebrating their 60th anniversary with five unique digital events. Events include Visionary Stages which will use cutting-edge technology to recreate the stage as it looked in 1962, and Digital Diorama which will feature 60 pieces from CFT’s archive such as model boxes, props, costumes, set designs, and sound bites. More info and tickets from CFT.
