I feel jealous of everyone that lives in NYC. Y'all get the opportunity to go to the Theater district see plays and musicals with stars most of will never get the chance to.

I really wish some streaming service would make a deal with some of play houses and/or Broadway Theaters to record their performances so those of us that will never have another way to see those performances will get a chance to watch them. I know it's not going to the same experience as seeing them done live.

But imagine how amazing it would be for, say, children or their grandparent that's lived in, say, Nebraska their whole life could watch Broadway version of the Lion King or see Wicked.

They did it with Hamilton on Disney plus. It gave me a chance I wouldn't of had way to see it. It was amazing!!

I just find it extremely sad that only certain number of people are allowed to enjoy these brilliance plays and musicals, basically solely on location and financially able.

For example the only play I've ever seen in my life was done by the theater class at my high school. I don't ever remember the play it's been so long.

As hard as it's to comprehend for some, many of us are either not financially fortunate to be able to go to such things or don't find interest in them until older or we live in area of the country where they don't have access to such things.

That's why recording the plays and musicals having them available on a streaming platform would be such a brilliant idea. If they didn't want to do it during a live performance, which makes sense. Do a performance just for the recording. Which I actually think is a better idea, they could get better camera angles, the cameras could move around more freely, they bother a live audience that way and it would be recorded better for the views who actually going be watching it at home. Let's be honest I doubt highly they'd lose ticket sales, I personally think it would do opposite. I think it would make people that could go see it more inclined to do so. To experience it live, to get be that close to brilliant actors, to know before hand if its good for their kids, etc...

I hate that we live in such an elitist society.

#have an idea #put plays and musicals from Broadway on streaming platform #so everyone could watch them #because not everyone has the opportunity to go to play or musical in a theater #a streaming platform could give that to everyone #nyc #broadway #theater district #plays #musicals

You can’t be too good at your job: FALSE.

Richard Mansfield’s 1880s onstage portrayal of Dr. Jekyll’s transformation into Mr. Hyde was so good that people accused him of being Jack the Ripper and even wrote letters to the London police encouraging his arrest.

These hands that are yours. They ache To dig into your flesh And open each blue vein To hear your murmuring blood.

Federico García Lorca, from "Blood Wedding", Three Plays: Blood Wedding. Yerma, The Hous of Bernarda Alba (tr. Michael Dewell & Carmen Zapata)

romeo and juliets driving theme is not silly teenagers falling in love, it is the male cycle of violence and how children will always be it’s worst victims

and the sooner you guys realise that the better

i'll let you in on a little secret.

acting isn't acting at all.

if it feels real, it is real.

trust me.
