Now that we are in the height of the summer vacation season, Broadway has opened its arms to visitors from around the world. However, if you can't make it to New York City, that doesn't mean that you can't get a healthy dose of theatre elsewhere. With news coming earlier this month that Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegria Hudes' Tony-winning musical IN THE HEIGHTS has been slated for a June 26, 2020 silver screen release, let's take a look at the other major theatrical properties heading to screens large and small.

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.
