How To Watch Broadway Shows From Home During Coronavirus Self Isolation

Broadway shows are something that I really look forward to, and having to post this honestly breaks my heart a little bit. While spring Broadway shows may be canceled, there is a way you can watch Broadway shows online for a week without paying a cent. I know, I know, it is not the same as watching a live performance in an actual theater. But with Broadway performances on hiatus until further notice because of COVID-19, us theater enthusiasts need something to do while we socially distance ourselves and flatten the curve.  BroadwayHD has a library of around 300 productions and will give you a seven-day free trial, therefore you can stream as many shows, plays and more. First up for me? I\’ll be watching Bye Bye Birdie. Playbill is also offering 15 Broadway plays and musicals that you can watch from the comfort of your couch, and Newsies is one of them!

CANCELED: Broadway In Detroit Spring Shows
In accordance with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Order 2020-9 to temporarily close theatres and other public venues in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, Broadway In Detroit has canceled The Last Ship (April 22–26 at the Detroit Opera House) and The Color Purple (April 21-26 at Music Hall).
