There has been a lot of news swirling around stage to screen adaptations in the past few weeks. Last Friday, Andrew Lloyd Webber confirmed a Dec. 20, 2019 release date for the film adaptation of CATS. Also, the early reviews for the latest remake of A STAR IS BORN (no, not technically a stage-to-screen adaptation, but it feels like it is) have been incredibly positive.

From major motion picture adaptations to streaming options on BroadwayHD to live TV musicals, we've got all of the information about where you can see your favorite plays and musicals on screen this summer and beyond.
