KINKY BOOTS
Charlie is a factory owner struggling to save his family business. Lola is a fabulous entertainer with a wildly exciting idea. With a little compassion and a lot of understanding, this unexpected pair learns to embrace their differences and create a line of sturdy stilettos unlike any the world has ever seen! This production was captured live from the West End and featured Olivier Award-winner Matt Henry as the one-of-a-kind Lola.


THE SOUND OF MUSIC
One of the most beloved musicals of all time, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music comes brilliantly to life in this ambitious, live-broadcast production from BAFTA-nominated director Coky Giedroyc. Kara Tointon delivers a mesmerizing performance as Maria, the tomboyish nun who reluctantly becomes the governess for seven children living in the shadow of their stern, widowed father, played by Julian Ovenden. As the threat of World War II lurks on the horizon, Maria brings love, music and excitement back into the family’s life right when they need it the most.


ROGERS & HAMMERSTEIN’S
CAROUSEL

“June is bustin’ out all over!” Rodgers and Hammerstein composed some of the most glorious music ever written for the stage in their landmark musical, Carousel. This dazzling adaptation featuring all-star performances from Kelli O’Hara, Nathan Gunn, Jessie Mueller, and more, filmed in 2013 from the acclaimed Lincoln Center concert staging.


INDECENT
Indecent, a play by 2022 Tony nominee Paula Vogel, is inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s God of Vengeance—a play seen by some as a seminal work of Jewish culture, and by others as an act of traitorous libel. Indecent charts the history of an incendiary drama and the path of the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it. This transcendent capture of the acclaimed Broadway production stars Tony Award-winner Katrina Lenk.


THE GERSHWINS’ PORGY & BESS
George Gershwin miraculously melded classical idioms, jazz, blues, and spirituals in this American masterpiece about a beggar, the headstrong woman he loves, and the community that sustains them both. This production was staged at the San Francisco Opera.


HELLO AGAIN
Based on the acclaimed off-Broadway musical and featuring Audra McDonald, Hello Again chases ten lost souls across ten New York City eras. The lives of a restless soldier, a defiant nurse, a helpless college boy, a driven actress, and more intersect in this daisy-chained exploration of bittersweet love.
