Filmed Live Musicals- Guest blog by Luisa Lyons

How many times have you watched Hamilton? Did you know that it’s currently one of 29 Broadway musicals to be filmed (legally) in front of a live audience and shared with the world? Or that it’s one of the hundreds of stage musicals to do the same? 

During the shutdown it’s more important than ever to have access to the room where it happens. (Enter Me)… And that’s where Filmed Live Musicals comes in! 

Filmed Live Musicals provides information on nearly 200 stage musicals (and growing) that have been legally filmed with a live audience present, and publicly distributed. It includes a searchable catalog, and details on how and where to watch the musicals. 

As of July, you can now listen to the Filmed Live Musicals Podcast! We’re going to talk about the world of filmed live musicals, interview creatives, actors, producers and industry folks, look at the research being carried out on filmed theatre, dive into some history, and, of course, talk about the musicals themselves!  

In episode 1, along with guest co-host Al Monaco, we talked about filmed live musicals firsts. In episode 2, out on August 3, I chat with Caroline Friedman, the founder of SceneSaver, a new platform for streaming off- West End and fringe theatre from around the world. 

The Filmed Live Musicals Podcast is available on all podcast apps, and you can find the RSS feed here.
