Can Live Captures Solve a Decades-Old Broadway Business Problem?
by Carli Freeman - May 12, 2026

Traditionally, most Broadway shows hold off on releasing live captures until after the show closes. But could releasing a filmed capture earlier be a smart business move, one that solves a fundamental supply-and-demand problem bothering Broadway since the 1960s? If shows like Hadestown and Six can turn live captures into added income, all while keeping up the demand and fan fervor for the Broadway tickets themselves, then live captures might be the Broadway business trend of the future.

Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - Dec 17, 2025

One of the most effective things the musical gains by moving from page to screen to stage is permission to reframe the story without betraying it.
