So according to this article I found, Broadway will be coming to cinemas all around the world. I thought this was really interesting and made me ponder on whether it was good or bad. On the one hand, it will be exposing large populations to theatre and maybe inspire people to go out and see live theatre. As well, I'm sure it's cheaper. On the other hand, what are we taking away from the performance by showing it through a lens. Also, don't get me wrong, I love musicals, but why does this not extent to plays too? Shouldn't we be trying to expose the world to all theatre rather than just musicals? I personally think this could be a step in the right direction, especially in terms of exposure. It's like what we discussed in class today, a fan base is important, it's what will push you above and beyond and open more doors.
