\"Hamilton\"Even if you can’t make it to a live performance, the show must go on.<\/p>\n

Being a Broadway fan is tough when you don\u2019t live near a major city. Even if you do, Broadway shows can be expensive, with some tickets fetching hundreds of dollars.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Best options to watch Broadway plays and musicals online<\/h2>\n

While each trip to the theater is a unique experience, many of these plays have been professionally recorded at one time or another.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a number of online resources to watch them, you no longer have to miss out on your favorite Broadway musical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of the best sites and apps you should check out:<\/span><\/p>\n

BroadwayHD<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Broadwayhd\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a Broadway streaming service,\u00a0BroadwayHD<\/a> should be your very first stop. <\/span><\/p>\n

Often considered \u201cNetflix for Broadway lovers,”<\/strong> BroadwayHD costs a simple monthly subscription of $8.99\/month.<\/strong> The library is huge, and you will find many of your favorite titles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You won\u2019t find any amateur work, which can be a bit of a downside. However, all filming is top quality and there are a few off-Broadway productions to be found.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, what a beautiful day you’ll have while streaming “Oklahoma” on BroadwayHD.<\/p>\n

Netflix<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Netflix\"<\/p>\n

You won’t find many stage musicals here<\/strong>. However, You can take a chance on Netflix and watch film adaptations of musicals like “Mamma Mia.”<\/p>\n

There are a few stage musicals you can find, such as “<\/span>Shrek the Musical”<\/span> and “<\/span>Oh, Hello” on Broadway.<\/span>\u00a0However, you won\u2019t find as many on this streaming service as you would on BroadwayHD. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, Netflix is a great choice for anyone interested in movie adaptations of Broadway plays.<\/strong> Some examples include:\u00a0<\/span>“Burlesque<\/span>,” “<\/span>Grease<\/span>,” and “<\/span>Beauty and the Beast.<\/span>”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hulu<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Hulu\"<\/p>\n

Like Netflix, Hulu has more movie adaptations than actual stage films. That being said, it\u2019s one of the only places you\u2019ll be able to find “<\/strong><\/span>Jesus Christ Superstar.<\/strong>“<\/strong> So, you can find out what’s the buzz and what’s a-happenin’.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hulu also features a lot of older musicals that can be hard to get, such as “<\/span>The King and I<\/span>,” “<\/span>Hello Dolly<\/span>,”\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0and “<\/span>Annie<\/span>.” You may want to compare Hulu and Netflix’s selection<\/strong> before deciding if you want to subscribe to one or both.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fandango<\/h3>\n

\"Fandango\"<\/p>\n

Most of you know Fandango as the app that helps you get tickets for your favorite movies. However, many movie theaters have special events where you can watch a recording from a live Broadway performance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can search for those musicals on Fandango, and then go see them at a theater near you.\u00a0The $10-$20 you pay for a movie ticket far outweighs the huge prices you’d have to dish out to see the show live.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basically, if “Hamilton” makes ever its way to the silver screen, don’t throw away your shot to see it through Fandango.<\/p>\n

YouTube<\/h3>\n

Amateur and off-Broadway productions can be just as good, if not better than original Broadway plays.<\/span> YouTube is full of well-filmed (and plenty of poorly-filmed) amateur work that you won\u2019t be able to find on any of the other streaming services.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, we found this full performance of “Rent.” How can you measure that?<\/p>\n

Of course, you may find full Broadway productions on YouTube,<\/strong> too. However, you’ll have more luck finding off-Broadway productions. You also can find full soundtracks to musicals. It’s easy to find soundtracks like\u00a0“Heathers,”<\/a>\u00a0“The Book of Mormon,”<\/a>\u00a0“Legally Blonde,”<\/a>\u00a0“Spamalot”<\/a> and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

YouTube might not be the first option that comes to mind when looking for Broadway musicals. However, a little digging might bring up a hidden gem.<\/p>\n
