The assumption that people wouldn't attend live theater if they could watch it on VHS, DVD, or streaming has been proven wrong. The big story that changed this perception was 'Hamilton.'

During the pandemic, Britain's National Theatre became a beacon of innovation by streaming performances online, allowing global audiences to experience theater from home.

The National Theater's production of 'Romeo and Juliet' during the pandemic, featuring Jessie Buckley and Josh O'Connor, highlights how public media has long provided glimpses into stage performances, offering a rich cultural experience at home.

During the pandemic, many actors participated in streaming theater productions for free, driven by a desire to work and create despite the limitations. This period saw experiments that rivaled live stage productions in quality, redefining what theater could be.

Theater captures on platforms like Disney Plus and Amazon Prime enhance the experience of live theater, as seen with Hamilton and SpongeBob SquarePants musical.

The capture of George Clooney's Good Night and Good Luck on Amazon is a huge deal. It was a hit on Broadway, and the live broadcast on CNN was Appointment Theater.
